The sport mode on the gearbox is like that. It sits a gear below what it should be then drops another one when you floor it. Why can't it just drop two gears in one go?
It is nice and sporty feeling though. The steering wheel is tiny.

I can't believe you've swopped a Toyota V8 petrol for a VAG V6 diesel. Really, what the fuck is wrong with you?

The drivers window has a hissy fit earlier and wouldn't come up. It would rise a few inches then drop again. The sat nav wouldn't work and was asking for a cd rom. The handbrake says it has a fault.

Plus points. I've discovered it"s a quattro, I can't get the tc light to flash. It has adjustable suspension (airbags?). Bose radio and very loud. And over 80 miles today I got 38.8mpg.
You may find that it's had a punt up the arse which has made one sensor face the ground causing the beep, that happened to a Mk4 Mondeo I had.

The window may think that someone's arm is in the way, is there an override function like Vauxhall's have for a frosty day?

Or that the sensor has just failed. It is a VAG after all.

You can put your ear near them and listen to them clicking to see if they are active. No clicks mean they are dead.

The window seems to have sorted itself out. The sat nav seems to have sorted itself out. The handbrake, reverse sensors and indicator haven't.
Partner loves it and says it's the best car I've had so far. So it beats two s70 t-5s, an 850 t-5 and a c70 t-5, an xj8, 306 convertible, seat leon, pug 107, renault senic, honda civic, saab 95, two mk1 mx-5, a bini cooper s and an ls400. Including the audi that's only 16 cars and two vans in six years.
Must try harder.

Stop liking this so much Paul it’s upsetting me!!!

So handbrake!! I forgot about that! Have you been using it? If you don’t it gets a bit shirty and throws a fault on the dash. Still all works though. I worked this out pretty quickly so forgot it even did it.

Window hasn’t ever done that and sat nav worked the once I used it other than that I used my phone it was easier.

I'm not complaining. If it was working, I'd have fuck all to do.
It's not as fast as the lexus although I reckon it handles better.

I still need to sort your invoice :D
