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...

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...

I've just passed 3 years ownership of my A6 bitdi. In that time... 20,000 miles driven 1 water Pump replaced 2 accidents (rolled into a tree stump, shunted at a roundabout) 1 windscreen replaced 2 wheel bearings replaced 1 turbo replaced 1 EGR valve replaced 4 new tyres 4 brake pads replaced 4...

Today I was sat at the lights with Air Con on full and noticed a slight peridoic knocking on tick over. If I turn it off or down it went away. Is this normal?

So I had the engine warning light come on a couple times last week and so I bought an ODB2 scanner (Carista). It's giving me the above error code. Before I book it in at the garage, does anybody have any suggestions of things I could check that might be doable at home? The Carista app is...

My Dad was driving with me on a long journey this weekend and he pointed out that there was an unusual noise coming from the front of the car. It's a whirring/humming noise at the mid range that changes pitch with road speed not engine speed. A bit of online research and I think it might be the...

Just been reading a few press releases on the new model A6.. Looks inside like A7 and A8, which is no surprise really. Interesting that they are releasing a 3L V6 petrol - they ditched that here in the UK on the current version so wonder if we'll see it on the new model. No word yet on S/RS or a...

I came across this video on youtube... The guy is based in Singapore and I've sent him an email. Anybody seen this done by any UK retrofitters? I'm guessing it's going to be expensive though. Might just stick with my phone holder.

The Dealer has loaned me a 2017 A5 sportback whilst they do the service on my A6. I was wondering if I clone the SD card with the maps on and then try and use that in my A6, will it work? They have a nice RS5 in the showroom, shame they didn't lend me that :-)

I've just got my car back after it's been in for a repair through insurance. The bumper, wing and light needed replacing. I've just go it home and noticed condensation in the light. Should I expect this?

OK, so following on from the annoying rings on my dashboard something more distressing happened last week. I rolled forward into a tree stump and have f****** the bumper and wing. Going through insurance as repair is going to cost 2600 according to the audi approved repairer I've used before...

The missus kindly bought me a phone holder which she stuck to the dash for me too. It's left this ring where presumably the adhesive has ripped of the top coating. Any ideas how I can remedy this? I've tried using toothpaste as a mild abrasive but that didn't work.

So, I've booked her in for rear tints, de chrome on the trims and A6-TDI badge removal. I was talking to them about getting the front windows very lightly tinted, I know it's not legal but does anyone have any experience of doing this?

This has just started happening to my A6. Any body else had this happen and if so can it be fixed without spending £££

So I'm coming up to one year of ownership and I'm being offered an extension to the warranty on my 2013 A6 BiTdi. I've had no sign of any problems and I've added about 8K miles (now nearly 40K), will probably do the same next year so I'm wondering if it's really worth shelling out 400 quid to...

So the car is going in for it's first service with me tomorrow, it's a 4 year service and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should watch out for them telling me I need replacing that's bs. I recall on another thread somebody being told the gearbox oil would need changing, but that the...

I've picked up a few scrapes and I'm wondering what the best course of action is. I've attached some photos, are these something that a detailer could fix? A couple of scratches here. The first one is worse. This one is small dent - hardly noticeable except I know it's there! The tiny white dot...
