I think it highly unlikely Audi would have done any special coding on the 4 trial units they brought to Australia before deciding not to officially launch the model into this market. Hence also my scepticism that they would have any spares for the model in the country.
I did have the microswitches in the door locks replaced when the problem first manifested, I actually got them from a supplier in Hong Kong selling them as spares for a VW Jetta, yet another model unfamiliar in this market.
Obviously didn't fix the problem. I'm still intrigued that I can get around the problem by manually locking the back door by fiddling with the mechanism, sort of admission by the manufacturer of a known problem.
