in my ownership so far,
I have replaced the battery as it soon became apparent that the installed one was dead.
A suspension fault reared its head, later tracked to water ingress in a level sensor, but this also revealed the compressor to be weak and only outputting about 6bar.
Now onto the list.
1) Sort out battery captive nut so the battery can be secured down - Completed 30-12-2013
2) Replace cambelt / tensioners/ water pump/ thermostat / Aux Belt - Completed *7/01/2014 (except water pump, seized bolts in head)
3) Replace all four tyres - TBA
4) Have MMI screen mechanism fixed, common issue because of cog with missing tooth (works fine, just clicks on open/close)*- TBA
5) Intake manifold variable flaps need fixing - TBA (low priority TBH)
6) Have exhaust flexi joints sorted - Completed 3/03/2014
7) Sort suspension issue out. Either wiring / sensor or compressor. Hopefully the first one, but knowing my luck it will be the last - Fixed 07/01/2014
8) Have suspension air compressor rebuilt using repair kit - Fixed 21/01/2014
9) Upgrade MMI firmware from Version 3.50 to Version 57.50 - Completed 14/01/2014
10) Replace Alarm Siren to remove VCDS Code - Completed 18/01/2014
11) Fix parking sensors, front nearside is dead - Completed 01/03/2014
Still plenty of things to do, but getting there.
Other outstanding issues which may never be fixed,
NS rear passenger footwell heater is dead.
Both front door handle touch sensors are reporting short to ground.
