    LED Headlight bulbs an alternative to HID?

    Does the new A6 not use LED lights ?? I was waiting for the dealer to fix the door alignment on my car last week and there was an advert looping in the showroom for the new A6 - I'm sure it said it used LED lights??

    annoying rattling from front doors, windows.

    well, clutch is fine now - it's just had a service at 37,500 miles and I've reported clutch judder every time it's been to them but at least now it's sorted out. Doors no longer rattle, although they had moved the strike plate for the drivers door which meant the door was pulled in by about 2mm...

    annoying rattling from front doors, windows.

    Took the car in on 17th July - gave me an A4 S-Line TDi 170 as a loan car. Rang 'em last night - gearbox out to change clutch and flywheel - let's hope that cures the judder !! Apparently, they've adjusted something in the door to eliminate the rattle on the drivers door. Should get the car...

    annoying rattling from front doors, windows.

    Mine started doing this about a month ago. Drivers side and passenger side although drivers side is worse. Wasn't sure if it's the door seals creaking against the body shell or the windows. Car is going in for service on 17th July - have asked them to look at this as it's driving me mad ...

    what mpg are you getting in your cars?

    Bog standard 2.0 TDi Sport - town driving - 500ish to the tank - motorway (75-80ish), anything up to 600 easy. Did Newcastle to Chertsey and back on a single tank with a (little) bit to spare 2 weeks ago. Best was Newcastle to Western Super Mare and back on a single tank - around 640 miles

    Tracking

    I had a nightmare with mine after ATS "tried" to sort the tracking out after having new tyres fitted. After spending an entire afternoon at their place, the car was near enough undrivable. I phoned the lease company and they told me to take it to a main dealer and it's spot on now. The...

    Bluetooth Phone Query

    I used to have a HTC Wildfire S (android) and all I could get was a generic ringtone played over the bluetooth/speakers, regardless of what ringtone the phone was using. Now have an iPhone and I get whatever ringtone is on the phone played over the BT/speakers.

    Wiper problems?

    mine does exactly the same and it gets on my nerves. If you have them on intermittent and then stop the car, you have to either switch them "off" then back to intermittent or switch to "on" then back to intermittent.

    AUX in removal

    Hi, Anyone offer any advice on removing the AUX in jack from next to the handbrake?? I want to splice into the jack from the underside so as to not have any wires showing up top. I can get the cigarette lighter socket out and the little rubber pad from the coin tray thingy, but I can't get...

    DIS MPG read-out behaviour suddenly changed..?

    totally normal behaviour for that mode - as Kohaku said it resets after a break of 2 hours. If you continue your journey within the 2 hour window it doesn't reset and continues where it left off. I generally drive in the mode where it shows journey driving time, average journey mpg and journey...
