not a great solution for the problem from Audi - how about sorting the issue with the engine seal itself rather than waiting for the seal to fall off and dealing with that fallout?? *sigh*
takes less than an hour but my car was in for a day with the MOT booked at the same time and they gave me a Q3 loan car

Ugh!!! An ugly bracket.
How about a DIY jobbie? Just a mild weak adhesive? Watered dow PVA perhaps.
