    Car deliveries during pandemic

    No, I'm still waiting on delivery into the UK. There is a big backlog at the entrance ports I am being told but they are all still having deliveries into the ports, so is that the truth? The show rooms are open now so the car can be picked up from the dealer (social distance still applies) if it...

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    I don't know the dealers but they are located in Stratford upon Avon, Lewes and London (big place I know but that is all it says on the location). All cars are 50 tdi's A6 Avants S-Line and two Black editions, hope this helps. All 2019 or 2020 models too.

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    Im2929, All 3 below were taken from another site regarding the throttle lag software update, so there definitely is a software update available. I would push again or maybe contact another dealer to see if you can get this confirmed and then get it done. Hi. The Service Dept said I could wait...

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    Im2929, I don't know if there is a Ref number or not but it has definately improved the throttle response. There is also another person on the same thread (original poster about his car problems) that has booked his car in for the update so Audi are aware of this update.

    VIN and registration number?

    Thanks for the replies, The VIN number I can understand I have had these myself in the past. The one I don't understand is the registration number. I thought you could not get this whilst the car is out of the country still, but as Elan2s suggests they may have allocated me a reg number before...

    VIN and registration number?

    Hi, I have recently ordered an A6 Allroad (lease direct from Audi dealer) and as above I have been given a VIN and registration number. But I am being told the car is still at port of exit, so my question is can you be given a VIN and Reg number if the car is not yet in the country?

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    Apparently there is a software update out now that sorts the turbo lag out. This is on another forum but he had his done on Tuesday and he is reporting this has made the car so much better to drive. I would contact your dealer and get it booked in and hopefully it will make your car the car it...

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    I have just read on another site that this software update was carried out a couple of days ago 19th May (went in for a service I think). He reports it seems to have solved the lag problem you and a lot of people have been experiencing. I know a lot of Audi centres are opening for services etc...

    Car deliveries during pandemic

    Car showrooms still remain closed but: Are they starting to happen now If yes, are they driven or low loader delivery, or both I presume the cars are 'sanitised' before the low loader delivery and if driven are 'sanitised' by the driver on arrival? Has anyone had a car delivery recently and if...

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    Thank you for your quick reply. Hopefully the problem will be solved soon but it is certainly taking a long time to be sorted!

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    Hi Terry, Do you still have the same problems/niggles with the car or have you found more since your first OP? I have a chance to get a A6 Allroad at a very good lease price but there is a lot of bad reports mainly about the throttle lag but also build quality. I am undecided wether to get this...

    Jan 2020 A6 Allroad acceleration lag

    Is the software fix available now, has anybody heard anything yet? It is now week 19 but due to the worldwide lockdown I am assuming this is delayed?

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    Hi RL1988, thank you for your reply. This is a real dilemma for me as the lease deal is very good (equates to about 17.5%) deal over 24 months. I also have a BMW 530D deal (not as good as the allroad about 23% and about £50 a month more) which I was going to cancel when I committed to the A6...

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    RL1988 I am also assuming you have not got any of your problems sorted out too, due to the virus problem we have at present?

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    Wow, this is an eye opener! I have the chance of a good lease deal on a A6 Allroad. I have not committed yet but this really is giving me doubts. It looks like I will continue to get the 530D touring instead, as many of you seem to have a lot of problems with the A6, which is a real shame as the...
