Hi everyone, so I started working on the A3 and found a couple of minor things that I can't figure out. The rear subwoofer, hidden in the boot, is crackling. I cleaned the connection and there's no clear sign of damage to the speaker, in fact it looks like new. Is it a matter of just...

Point taken. I'll set the traps and check them every day. Although, I've never seen a rat around here due to the large number of cats owned by neighbours but living free.

Don't you lose all settings? Mina has all electric with keyless start. Once the battery went flat and it was giving all sorts of dash errors which admittedly disappeared after a couple of miles and never returned.

Thanks. I have a smart charger, but never used it, it's still in the box. Do I leave it permanently plugged in and connected to the battery terminals? Will occasionally take the car for a spin, hoping things don't seize up.

Yes, I was in 2 minds about the cover. Car will be outside.

ULEZ forced me to buy a scrap of a ford until new mayoral election in may in which I hope the emperor khant will be booted out. So I have to keep my beloved A6 in my drive for 9 months and plan to use it once a month for days out. What should I do to prevent any problems? Any advice is very...

Yes, water pump and other belts get changed as standard in my books.

Thanks! Got confused with another A3 I looked at, the timing belt cover is there. I must've seen a dozen A3 for sale last week, a very stressful experience, especially when cars are described as "immaculate conditions" and then you're presented a scrap. I looked at a few 2011/2013 models and I...

Hi everyone. I just bought an A3 Spotback 1.6 2006 (8PA AA4 version from the sticker) in very good shape and would appreciate your wide advice on tricks, extra maintenance and anything else you can think of. I will do a full service next week, so my first question: I've always preferred Quantum...

Thanks! So it was 30 Nm. I have done the brakes and used that setting. Thanks again.

I found the torque for the Q5 at 30Nm. I guess that should be ok? Damn me, I lost the elsawin disc!

Hi, I can't find the brake caliper torque settings for front brakes on my A6 C6 4F 3.0l tdi quattro. Can someone help please. PR code is 1LG if it helps. Thanks

Here she is

If the Ulez comes in next year in August, I will be selling mine. Full optional, 65000 miles, you name an extra and it's got it. Immaculate inside and out. I will cry like a baby the day she goes. Damn that stupid little man of mayor Khant!

I think I've sorted it. The intake manifold rod was disconnected at the bottom. I reconnected it and the engine management light disappeared. I let you know if it happens again. I wonder how it came off because it took quite some force to push it back into the small retaining ball. I wonder if...

How would I know? From the scan it seems to be the intake rods, a common problem on these engines. Where about are you?

Hi everyone, My A6 C6 4F 3.0l quattro TDI has been randomly lighting the engine management light and becoming more and more persistent. Car drives just fine, but I had it scanned and these are the results: 012597 - Intake Manifold Runner Control P3135 - 001 - Lower Stop not...

Thank you!

Hi everyone, Went to buy the usual Quantum Longlife 5W30 for my A6 and found that Fuchs now produces Quantum oils. Is this oil as good as quantum...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Here they are https://m.autodoc.co.uk/stabilus/292533?gadw=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAxc6PBhCEARIsAH8Hff2tVaPX88HDNcpYj_2Iz_H3boWUK7tLRDsZIsCUUhZIcBuu9uYrEAIaAhaGEALw_wcB
