Any recommendations for a good stage 1 tune?

Just bought a ‘66 plate 3.0 TFSI and wondering if it would benefit from a carbon clean. If anyone has any advice or contacts in Buckinghamshire area it would be appreciated.

Bit of a strange one. For the last 4 months or so I’ve been having issues with starting my car on a regular basis. I have 2 keys, both with brand new batteries (changed several times over the last few months). Both keys lock and unlock the car from a decent distance, say 10 metres or so. Once...

I have a broken lid on my front cup holder, also one of the 'clips' that hold the cup in place is rattling so I want to replace the whole unit. Plenty available on ebay - just wondering if anyone has any knowledge as to what actually needs to be removed to get to the 5 screws that hold it it...

Probably an unpopular opinion but I’m really not into the piano black trim in my black edition A6. The centre console is scratched (like this when I bought the car unfortunately) albeit very fine hairline scratches it really annoys me! Does anyone know where I can buy a brushed aluminium...

Hi all I joined this forum a few years back when I bought an A6 Avant Le Mans 3.0 Quattro which was a great car. I didn't end up using the forum a great deal but have now bought an A7 S Line BiTurbo and have a few plans for things to do to it so I thought I'd start checking out the forum again...

Anyone running spacers and if so how do you find they affect handling / performance ?

Hi Guys I've just bought an A7, bitdi with google maps and was wondering what was the best option for a SIM card? I have no idea how much data I'll be using and could do with some recommendations. Thanks!

For the last few weeks I've been having intermittent internal fan failure (with AC either switched on or off) which I'm guessing could be imminent failure of the fan unit itself or just a loose wiring connection. Can anyone advise the best way to investigate this other than paying the garage to...

I'm having problems with the Jukebox. My car has 2 SD card slots and a 20gb Jukebox, which you can copy content onto from the sd cards. I factory reset the Jukebox when I bough the car and am now having problems adding mp3s from sd card. I have 10gb of MP3 on the sd card, but when I select all...

Just interested to see what other folk are running on their Avants. 255/35/19 reccomendations or opinions please. I'm currently on Kumho Ecsta Le Sport but wondering g if it's worth the extra pennies for something a bit more expensive. Personally I've always found them to be ok - very grippy...

Can anyone recommend a nice cool white bulb to replace the stock yellow ish ones? (but not verging on blue). Thanks

Hi Guys I've just replaced my old 3.0 V6 with a facelift model 2.0 after a kind lady ploughed her X5 into the back of me at a junction. We've got new baby on the way and I need to save some money on fuel / tax / general running expenses so opted for the 2.0. Any tuning recommendations to...

Ideas anyone? My engine (3.0 TDI) has started sounding like an old transit van when I pull off from stopped. Once I get to around 20 mph the noise goes away. Excuse the bad description but I'm not mechanically minded at all, I just love my car and I'm worried about the noise it's making! Any...

Anyone got opinions on this? I've always he company cars until recently and not been able to get away with the extra expense. Now I have my own diesel which does 300 miles a week commuting to / from work, is it worth using the expensive stuff?

Having recently bought my lovely new (to me) car I'm new to the Tiptronic gearbox. The car is a '58 plate on 114K miles - should I be thinking about changing the gearbox oil as a matter of course or only worry about it if there's an issue of some sort? It's working nice and smoothly at the...

Can anyone reccomend a professional caliper & hub painting service in the Maidenhead area? I know a lot of you do this yourselves but I personally don't have the spre time with a busy job and young family. I'm looking to get my A6 Avant Le Mans 3.0 Quattro done as the rusty state of the...

Hi guys I'm Jon, currently based in North London but moving to Berkshire in a month or so. Just bought a '58 plate A6 Avant Le mans 3.0 TDi Quattro. I must admit I don't know much about them but I'm loving the car so far. Perfect for someone who needs space, has a family to ferry around and...
