3) TPMS inop - deactivate through VCDS?
4) MMI screen stuck, won't close - new gears? Although that looks a PITA.
5) Fingerprint start inop - 2nd hand sensor, or bin and stick new start stop button in?
Hello fella, I can only offer what I know from being told about the same issues with mine

1. Both my fronts don't work but IT told me when I bought it from him that someone he knew had replaced all of his and had real trouble with door alignment afterwards, so I've left mine as they are, I'm more than capable of closing a door by myself
2. The WD40 tip has worked for some, worth a try as a replacement handle will require painting, unless you're fortunate to get a second hand Daytona grey one
3. VCDS will tell you which one isn't working, I know which one of mine is throwing up the fault (dead battery) so I'll replace the unit when I get the wheel refurbished.
4. Someone will advise on the best option for this common issue
5. I haven't heard of this one, do you know why it won't work?

Hopefully you'll get them all sorted to your satisfaction soon
