I've notice the paintwork bubbling just under the trim on my rear doors. I spoke to SMART repair guy and he said that he could work on it but it would just come back and I should wait until I want to sell the car and do it then.. I'd rather get it sorted some how and was suggested by someone...
So, I reversed into my neighbours van at the weekend and damaged the bumper possibly bent the rear wing slightly and scratched the diffuser and offside taillights (both). I've got a £550 excess on my insurance.
Neighbour reckons he needs a new van door which is about 150 quid.
I've taken it to...
Had the A6 BiTDi for just over 6 years. Apart from the new Turbo and a few minor things to fix, it's been a joy. I have been umming and arring about changing it but as it's completely paid off and I've only put about 40K miles on it I just can't justify taking on finance for something better...
My MOT is coming up this month and so checking my tyres the front two needed replacing. Looked at Black Circles and On The Drive. Not much in it and I thought I may as well see what Kwik Fit are charing. I expected them to be more but surprisingly they were cheaper and they also do a mobile...
I had quick look on auto trader and you can get 3l models for that price with similar mileage. When I bought mine I test drove a 2l A6 and it did persuade me to get it over a Jaguar XF (which I was considering). I ended up getting the BiTDI though and I would choose the larger engine over most...
I've had to do this on mine. It was a couple of years ago mind but I remember having to puncture holes in the casing and replace that as well as the actuator.
OK, so I hope this is nothing and I'm just being hyper sensitive as I can't contemplate another bill....
I've noticed that there's a bit of a squeak from the steering when doing low speed manoeuvres, parking etc.
Could it be early signs of a power steering issue or just a bit of wd40 required...
The A6 Bitdi is the same engine as the older SQ5 (the new ones are petrol I think). My only suggestion is get a warranty if you can. If your turbo or similar needs replacing it's a lot of money. It's not a common problem but it's an expensive one. You can look at my previous posts about it. It's...
I've just passed 3 years ownership of my A6 bitdi. In that time...

These guys in trafford park did a good job on my insurance claim. They are audi approved - I think they replace and spray panels rather than get the hammer out so $$$
