As you can see, the bumpers need respraying because the clear coat has perished. The only mechanical item outstanding is the Haldex controller has been disconnected after it became infrequently giving errors. Refer to https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/344845/ which talks about a pump and filter (on the rear diff), which if changed can resolve the issue. Also, water gets into them(?), not sure if that then causes a failure and need to replace.

The drivers seat has a leather issue, and the PAX air bag switch needs replacing.

Selling as my son is headed back to the UK, would otherwise keep and continue improving. I have 44 photos total, only showing 30 as the limit here.
