So I called my local dealer today. Their service work prevention officer told me at first that they couldn't possibly work with customer supplied parts, especially not dirty second hand ones..... I pointed out that new are no longer available from Audi. He then went away to talk to their "lead tech" who apparently said it's only ever possible where the part numbers are absolutely identical and even then it sometimes "doesn't take". From which I conclude he's probably never done one.
Then I called another local indy. One whose favourite thing is re-mapping anything VAG with a turbo. He didn't blink.... £ 80 mate - bring the extra cluster and all your keys.... Booked in for next week. He was a bit doubtful about being able to change the mileage, but it's only 5k different anyway - so I don't care.
We'll see....
