I'm currently in the market for an a6 2.0tdi I'd love the 3.0tdi but don't fancy the running costs of one. What year were DPFs introduced on the c6? If possible I'd rather get an older car without one. Also is there any draw backs to higher mileage cars? I'm seeing a lot around 170k miles...

Noticed the car shuddering a little bit while driving to work the osst couple of days, so nipped into qwikfit this morning to get the wheels balanced, to my surprise they call me and say you've got 3 wheel bolts missing on one wheel and that is likely the cause if the shuddering. Unfortunately...

After some advice please chaps, Yesterday morning i purchased a pair of tyres fof my car from a well known foreign tyre importer, when i got the order confirmation i realised i had made a mistake and ordered the wrong size. I immediately cancelled the order and all the website said was we will...

So just after some opinions on "all season" tyres, i have always used summer tyres all year round, as i can't justify splashing out on complete second set of tyres. So this leaves me looking at maybe getting some all season tyres as a compromise when replacing my current tyres. Am i being...

So today i was doing a tip run in the car, all was going well until i noticed some guys throw a huge upvc window frame into the crusher, which was hanging out the top by about 4ft. As the crusher squeezed it, the bit hanging out the top flexed and snapped throwing a piece of window frame about...
