Have been following this with interest of course, but am surprised that its necessary to dismantle the car to dry it out. I'm sure that half the cars that get flooded are not stripped down to this extent before being offered up for sale again. Appreciate that the damp will not be conducive to electrical contacts, but unless the water had POURED in over that dashboard area, I'd be very tempted to leave it alone. Seats, carpets and sound proofing out and that should do......
If 1781cc kept the Cabrio outside, I wonder if the water was driven in between the rear of the hardtop and the body . We get rain down here ( today in fact ) which is akin to a pressure washer at times albeit not strong enough to strip paint. A combination of wind and driving rain is almost a guarantee of getting water into an Audi....mine seems to accumulate plenty of water in the boot area, particularly under the left light unit and actually inside the boot lid. Both as a result of bad fitting seals and possibly cracks in the rear wide plastic lens across the back of the car...replacement costs of that lens are ridiculous.
Car feels dampish inside too, but as we have not had a day in the past 3 months when it hasn't rained at some time or other, I'm not too surprised. ROLL ON SUMMER !!!
