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...

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...

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...

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 everyone, The engine management light came on and I noticed that when I go on motorway the temperature drops. If I go on manual and leave the 4th gear on, the temperature drops to about 75 degrees, but goes back up if i go on 6th gear but not all the way to 90. If i'm in traffic it stays on...

Hi everyone, I have been told on another forum that when stationary it is always best to shift into Neutral before applying the EPB and release the foot brake (automatic transmission tiptronic) In my car manual instead, it says that it is ok to remain in Drive. The person suggested that the...

Hi everyone, a little advice please. My tailgate struts need changing, when i open the boot it doesn't lift fully and i have to manually lift up the last 6 inches so i don't bang my head on it. (It's electric) Also sometimes it struggles to lift at the first few inches, when the electric motor...

Hieveryone, Audi A6 C6 4F 2008 3.0lquattro. I use quantum 5w30 longlife and do an oil change every 5000/6000 miles. Talking to another audi owner he was horrified that i don't use castrol as recommended. The use of quantum was recommended by a very good audi mechanic i used in the past. Am I...

Hi everyone, Audi A6 C6 4F 2008 3.0l quattro, all of a sudden, after a cold night i got this little noise when stationary and moving the wheels. It's the same noise you get when on full lock, but this is present even by slightly turning the wheels. Also the revs go down a tiny touch (but...

Hi, So my cruise control with brake assist radar system stopped working and it displayed ACC not available. Had a look at the radar cover plate and some ****** possibly with a tow bar touched it just enough to crack it. Fortunately no damage to anything else. The part number is 4F0853681, but...

Hi everyone, so I had some trouble coming my way and had to reschedule the brakes job. Now i'm getting better and want to attack this before the new year. Question: I have seen videos about replacing rear brakes without vcds. This for example: Is it something that would ruin the car or a...

Hi everyone, would anyone let me know what brand are the genuine brake pads. I tried looking at mine (genuine), but writing is worn and on google I found different answers (Pagid, Brembo, TRW, Ate) I would like to avoid the genuine Audi at inflated price if I can get the same ones without the...

Hi everyone, Is there any way I can get hold of a PDF service book to look at service schedule? I looked online for ages to no avail and when I contacted Audi head office they told me to buy a copy from main dealer for £30. I just want to know the maintenance schedule for my A6 C6 3.0L Quattro...

Hi everyone, my good other half decided it was a good idea to wash my key in the washing machine and of course it stopped working. The red light keeps blinking very fast. I have dismantled it, used contact cleaner, dried out everything and changed battery, but the only result was that it opens...
