    Wire through firewall

    Hello all, Has anyone run a wire from the engine bay to the cabin through the firewall? If so, how did you do it please? For context need to install an accessory with the switch in the cabin and power source via fusebox. Many thanks and much appreciated!

    40tdi - mild hybrid actually do anything?

    unfortunately no electric motor on the drivetrain unless the car is a TFSIe model. No idea on if there are plans to deploy this on diesels as of yet.

    Avant 40tdi sline- load area fixing kit standard

    It is part of the £150 Storage Pack, which also includes the cargo net, 12v socket in the boot, rear seat cup holders, and correct me if I am wrong possibly the net pocket on the rear of the front seats as well. Should all be standard equipment on a car like this in all honesty…

    Service Campaign 5713

    All thanks to the global semiconductor shortage, I’m afraid.

    Heating element rear quarter glass?

    It was an optional extra when I ordered the car in June 2019 if I recall correctly.

    Stop/ start frequency

    Another thing to bear in mind is if the engine is up to temperature. Diesels take longer than petrols it’s the fastest I have ever seen in my 45 TFSI so stop/start is active very quickly.

    A6/S6/Allroad (C8 Chassis) Picture Thread

    Doesn’t work on my MY20 either.

    Chrome switches

    I don’t like how they changed the hazard lights button to be on the touchscreen. On mine it is a physical button - much preferred for use when driving!

    B&O Query

    They really do. A mate of mine who has been through many premium cars over the years and is a “connoisseur” of sound systems says that the B&O in my Avant is the best stock fitted sound system he has ever heard in a car.

    B&O Query

    I am afraid that the speakers don’t rise up with the B&O system that is part of the Comfort & Sound Pack. The one that you have seen is the B&O 3D sound system which is a another ~£5k optional extra. I do believe you will be well happy with the one you ordered though, it is very good in my opinion.

    Connecting 2 Phones

    Obdeleven contains a customisation to enable second phone support- could it possibly be related to this not being enabled in the newer model by default, and that you would need to enable it through a customisation?

    Duoble rear FOG light

    There is a reverse light on both sides but I believe there is only one fog light: right side of the car in UK and left side of car in the case of Enrico’s left hand drive. It would be great if these lights were on both sides of cars by default, my previous car was a left hand drive that I...

    Rejecting a car before 6 months - any advice

    Sounds very much like your car was made on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon. In your shoes, I would reject & replace or look for something else instead - besides the issues do you have any regrets with going for the RS6 after purchasing & experiencing as opposed to others in its class?

    Lane Assist

    Who actually does like cyclists? The car knows it belongs on the road and cyclists should stay off the road.

    How Safe is OBD Eleven?

    Even just disabling the seatbelt alarm is worth the purchase. As is enabling the taillights to be on during the day with the DRL (Scandinavian mode).

    All Season tyres

    I agree with psychopomp above - the ride comfort is excellent and definitely better than the factory Pirelli P-Zero. Tried the Vredesteins out in snow finally during an early morning trip to work before the gritters made it out and was impressed by the snow performance and grip of the tyres as...

    How Safe is OBD Eleven?

    For your question about the specific setting of headlamps to LHD, Carista does not change this - it merely makes the option to set the headlamps appear in the MMI. I activated that and tried changing it in the MMI to LHD and nothing happened so it might be a dud. Supposedly the lights change...

    Replacement HD Matrix LED Lens Cover?

    Can’t imagine it to be worse than my last hangover if it ran away.
