    IPhone 12 charging.

    I have an old iPhone and wondered if the iPhone 12 with wireless charging worked with the A6 C8 s-line front arm rest charging point?

    Dead key fob

    Went into Farnborough Audi (big mistake!) for MOT/Service. They advised low battery on key fob. Strange as battery recently changed in this fob and worked perfectly for a few weeks after. There were no issues or errors before it went to garage. We always replace batteries ourselves, have large...

    Spare wheel / tyre part no

    Very helpful information and link. Has anybody fitted these? I also have an A6 C8 50 BTW. Has the A6 C8 s-line got a tool kit for wheel change or do I need to add this to the order. Frankly. Seriously p***ed Audi don’t provide a spare as the A6 C6 and A6 C7 did.

    New A6 - Tech pack yes or no?

    If purchasing car - a must for resale if disposal under 3-4 years from new. If leasing. I would not bother. It is riddled with errors and whilst looks exceptional, usability is a woeful attempt. The touch screen is a lethal hazard whilst driving. No other interface options. Forget entering...

    Spacers

    Crumbs. The A6 C8 is wider than the C6/C7 units. I don’t fancy on-road parking with spaces! Likewise, I have no grizzles about lateral road holding.

    A6 35TDI MHEV

    I posted previously about the underpowered A6 units. This engine was fine in an A3 rental in Germany - in fact I enjoyed driving it. However when I recently picked up an A6 avant rental for 2 days, I thought it was malfunctioning and stopped at a services. Whilst I carefully check hire cars on...

    Road tax

    I never thought I’d see the day when the road tax for the C8 50 avant would be £150 more than the LV insurance policy with many of the extras. As fellow A6 drivers have commented, like winter, we knew it was coming but OMG in black & white.

    Oil low warning

    The C8 A6 50 replaced a A6, C6 3.0 TDI Avant s-line Le Mans that didn’t miss a beat in 11 years and a galactic mileage. The long distance trips are with a loaded boot of delicate specialist kit so roadside assistance and replacement vehicles of insufficient size would leave us massively behind...

    Oil low warning

    Have no idea what the Minimum to Maximum oil level indication volume equates in the 2.0 oil burner. I’d certainly check before pouring in large quantities as over-fill can be problematic. Have to say the 2.0 “40”engines I drove in Germany (very low km) and the hire “40” vehicle a few weeks ago...

    A6 lot of error

    Heavy rain resulted in a cascade of assistance system notifications. Most cleared as the rain became lighter. I did a stop/go engine off/on at a motorway services and all of the reported notifications cleared and assistance systems functioned normally. Apparently the s-Line tech pack 50 was...

    A6 C8 Head rests

    Good point. The hire C8 A6 vehicles in Germany had these and I’m not surprised we don’t. What I am surprised about is how Audi UK have not sought to sell us these as one of the cost options. Regarding the UK price. After removing in each country the respective VAT rates, the Germans get a far...

    Oil low warning

    for the 3.0 TDI “50” engine, on the MMI display, there are four notches. On the iPhone app, 8 notches. Either way, volume of oil between the Maximum and Minimum is 1.0 litres. May thanks to AUDI READING 4000 miles consumption was 0.4 litres so 0.1 L per thousand miles is hardly excessive.

    Oil low warning

    Disappointed that the dealers are clueless as to the amount of oil required per “indicator mark” for a give size of engine

    Oil low warning

    Hmmm It would be useful to know how much oil each notch on the oil gauge equates to. Obviously, this will differ between engine sizes and types.

    Thinking of buying an A6 (or S6).... Options

    Fuel tank size in 3.0 TDI is an issue for trips into parts of Europe. Bluntly, many service stations you do not leave your car unattended and routing via Luxembourg is a low fuel cost treat many of us enjoy. As for spare tyres. If I wanted a local use shopping trolley, I would have got an EV...

    Oil low warning

    My 3.0TDI settles at two notches from MAX at 500 miles and still at this same level after 3500. Keep close eye on it. A dipstick would be a very sensible option!

    Thinking of buying an A6 (or S6).... Options

    A few months in and 3500 miles. Deeply regret not ordering the following. I hope sharing my error helps others about to order. Oyher forum users may have items they are kicking themselves about? 1. Extended range fuel tank. Total no-brainer. The standard tank is woefully small. I totally forgot...
