Afternoon folks. I have recently acquired a 2011 A7 3.0 TDI Quattro and I'm having a few issues, hopefully somebody here will be able to shed some light for me. It's a bit of an exhaustive list so please bare with me! The first issue I've got is a weird whistling / humming type noise at a...

Well folks, back home with the car after what felt like an eternity getting there! Left Manchester at 8.30 and arrived at Audi Leicester for around 11.30, horrendous traffic. Anyhow, my initial thoughts are....... WOW! What a car, absolutely made up with it. I've just traded in a 2015 Mercedes...

Well folks, tomorrow is the day I finally collect my new A6. Can't wait, black edition in daytona grey, s tronic, tech pack, heated seats and folding mirrors. I've got a 2 hour drive to collect it which is a bit of a stinker but never mind, hopefully it will be worth it!

I went and had a bit of a nosey at a friends A6 yesterday and had a quick look at the sill area to try and work out how hard it's going to be to run the wires to the footwell lights. Doesn't look overly difficult but one thing I did struggle with was removing the big rubber seal that runs...

Lovely looking car bud, looks really smart. I'm hoping to collect mine next week, daytona grey. I'm thinking of purchasing the LED rings for mine too, how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry that's what I meant. They should arrive in a few weeks so i'll have a look at getting them installed when they arrive. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Nigel, I was hoping to use the wires for the footwell lights, I think that might be the easiest option.

OK so it would be a case of running the wires up into the door?

Morning All, I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my A6 Black Edition, can't wait. I've spent the last few weeks looking at all sorts of extras and upgrades and came across these aftermarket illuminated sills...

I had a 2.0 TDI 140 in my A4. Prior to that I had a 1.9 GT TDI 115 in my MK4 Golf. I personally preferred the 1.9, I found it much more economical but just generally preferred the way the engine performed. I did have the golf remapped to around 150 HP so that probably made a huge difference. One...

Scott, I bought a 2.7 S Line Le Mans a few weeks ago. I had an A4 B7 S Line but got a little bored so decided to go for a Mercedes C220 AMG Sport. The Mercedes was absolutely lovely, looked really aggressive and had a tonne of toys but it wasn't an Audi, I always wanted an Audi again. I spent a...

It's a bit of a strange one as i've been told that the 2.7 and 3.0 are the same engine yet there's hardly any information about injector failures on the 2.7's. The symptoms my father had were lots of white smoke coming from the exhaust and didn't disappear when the car had warmed up.

i must admit it does feel heavy but certainly doesn't feel sluggish. It's really quick and goes like a rocket when needed. I have changed my driving style since owning the A6 and generally now just cruise around slowly in it. It feels like a lot of work to get it moving again so for me it makes...

I've just replied to your questions in the other thread but thought i'd just post a little more in here. My A6 is the 2.7 TDI, is it only the 3.0 you are looking at ? My father in law just purchased an A8 3.0 TDI Quattro but had to have new injectors fitted costing a fortune. It would appear...
