The mechanic is estimating 6k so far, I left it in the garage as they felt the side was still sticking out a bit and potentially dangerous. I have a Seat Ibiza now, petrol and manual so this will be a blast from the past!
Both, I made sure it was approved by Audi and my insurance provider. They've been great at updating me, not much they can do without the parts I guess.
No, everything seems to be on the go slow! Fingers crossed for you. We have been without our's for a week and a half, after only having it two weeks, it's torture! It's having some paint protection installed, no issues.
