Heat and an impact which the mobile mechanic will have should do the trick.

So they dropped the pan, drained the oil and changed the filter? Then there is a specific process for refilling. If the shop was not up on that process then they probably did not get it up to the...

Wheel well access is the easiest and maybe the only. Once you get that liner off you will see the tank and the pumps etc. Easy. I guess you can jumper the sensor but why not just fix it?

Find a new mechanic. One who knows Audis or at the least VWs. Purrfect Auto may be less that perfect with your new car. See Prospeeder's comments. He is right on.

Rusty, looking bad is one thing. Sounding bad is another. Does it rattle like crazy on bumps? Is the steering sloppy? Can you "feel" the road more than you would like? Then you probably need new...
