We have had our A5 2.0 TDI for exactly a year, it is currently in with audi for the 4th time!

1st issue was the drivers side heated wing mirror wouldn’t work, then the drivers side door actuator failed. Next the fuel flap wouldn't open, not even with the emergency pull cord. Then there are intermittent issues with the doors, sometimes absolutely fine but maybe twice a week the central locking keeps re-locking everytime you travel over 10mph and at the same time the offside rear child locks wont either lock or unlock - depending on whether they were on or off at the time the car started. We have also had issues with the offside rear window dropping and not fully closing.

So last time it went in they said the intermittent issues were down to software update and they had been fixed - next day they were back. So my A5 has been in for almost a week and they can’t replicate the issues. I get their problem, they cant fix what they cant see. We have shown them videos when it happens. But what can I do next. We have a car that should be reliable and we feel it has a driver side electrical fault that will continue - An expensive piece of kit that keeps letting us down. Not great when you have 2 young kids in the car esp the child locks!

Anyone else had issues on one side? Should we ask for a replacement? A price for them to buy it back? I doubt anyone would want to buy it when we come to sell with the number of problems we’ve had. Any advice appreciated.
