    Recommended battery for an A6 C7?

    Hi - I appreciate mine isn't quite the same as most A6's out there and being petrol, the battery spec's might be different, but does anybody know the spec of the one in our cars? (or a good place to verify that?) I was looking at this: Bosch S5A11 Car Battery 80A / h-800A But the description...

    S4 engine 3.0 supercharged - P0235 MAP error

    Sorry for double-posting this (on S4+S5 forums), but I've got an A6 snotwagon with the S4/S5 engine and drivetrain (3.0T supercharged), so there's a LOT more chance of getting a hit on this questions in an S4/S5 forum - forget about the VERY small numbers of that engine in an A6... also far more...

    P0235 MAP sensor error

    Hi - I know I've got an A6 snotwagon, but it's the S5 engine and drivetrain (3.0T supercharged), so there's a LOT more chance of getting a hit on this questions in an S4/S5 forum - forget about the sheer numbers of that engine in an A6, also far more S4/S5 enthusiasts than A6's! Does anybody...

    Avant LED tail-light question

    Hi - I've got the PFL (2012) A6 Avant with the full LED light pack... the driver's side reverse light failed (picked up and notified on the big DIS screen between the dials)... The parts database seemed to only show bulbs for the 2012 rear lights and when I phoned up Audi and gave them my reg...

    Avant roof bar rubber feet?!?

    Hi - the roof rails were in the boot car recent, when I took the car in for a valet and now one of the rubber feet is missing (front right - on a 2012 A6 (C7) Avant OEM roof bar). I've filled in a "parts request" on the site, but given how small an innocuous this is, I'm not sure anybody is...

    A6 Alloy options? (B8/B9 S4 donor cars?)

    Any recommendations on 18" / 19" alloys? I've got 18's on there right now - I gather that my stock setup is: 245/45R18 8Jx18 ET39 5x112 66.6CB. According to Audi, 18" is the smallest I can get to fit over the V6 TFSI discs and calipers. There is some appeal to keeping the 18's (my summer...

    Handling: eliminating understeer / upgraded anti-roll (sway) bars?

    History: On my old B6 A4 (V6 quattro TDI, remapped to ~220bhp), there was a common upgrade to replace the rear anti-roll bar with the stiffer RS4 version. This had the effect of almost completely neutralising the understeer, to the point where you could actually get to the point where, if you...

    Road Angel Gem / Snooper Lynx options?

    My Snooper Lynx recently shuffled of its mortal coil and I was considering a replacement... I'm just surprised that there aren't any devices that don't update via home /in-car WiFi or mobile phone hot spots. Is this just a feature that isn't advertised or does it not exist? Thanks!

    How to guide? Removing the MMI.

    After the failed firmware update, it looks like I'm going to need to take the MMI unit out and post it off for repairs. Does anybody have a guide on how to remove the unit please?

    Recovering from a REALLY flat battery?

    I know why the battery is really flat (MMI unit is stuck in a loop "initialising" after a failed firmware update), but once I get the MMI unit out to send it for repairs (hopefully just a firmware reload), will I face any issues? I assume the key coding will all be okay? What about the MMI...

    TFSI remaps recommendations...

    I know I've got the A6, not the A7, but there's a LOT more TFSI A7's around than the A6 (especially in the UK, where they stopped selling them in early 2012!), so this seemed to be the best place to ask. Has anybody tried these home chip upgrades? I've got the 299bhp TFSI, but any...

    Q7 2016 Q7 engine line up (UK in particular)?

    I was really put off the old Q7's due to the 2005 interior design and equipment spec, but I'm hoping the new ones will be more like the C7 shape A6's and A7's :) I've seen the new enigne listed as a low-end and mid-range 3.0TDI (around 210PS / 270PS) and an eTron... I know Germany already has...

    DSG error "Gearbox malfunction, you may continue driving. Limited functionality."

    Car is a 2012 TFSI Avant with ~8000 miles on the clock. I had this error on Sunday, about 10 miles into my drive home (with ~20miles still to go - pouring rain and the wife + my three very young kids in the car!): "Gearbox malfunction, you may continue driving. Limited functionality." ...

    3.0TFSI mods?

    I'm considering getting my 3.0TFSI (2012 A6) tweaked a bit and I was just checking what the recommended mods are? Currently looking at the the APR remap and APR pulley: I've asked around at a few tuners, but most can't remap the later ECU's on the A6, so APR seems the way to go. I'm expecting...

    Where do I enter the MyAudi pin in Audi Connect? (A6, C7, MMI Touch)

    I'm trying to get my MyAudi account linked to my car's Audi Connect system (so I can send postcodes to the car and manually adjust the internet radio settings, etc), but I can't figure out where to get to the screen were I can enter the pin number as per the MyAudi site: I can get to Audi...

    retrofitting DAB for the MMI touch?

    How difficult (and/or expensive) is it to retrofit an OEM DAB tuner to a MMI touch system (as found in the A6 C7), cannot honestly believe that Audi don't have DAB as standard, even on the S-Line tech pack cars, then they're stadnard on everything except the most bottom spec Skoda Superbs that...

    Advanced key not in the car - will it still go?

    If I pop into the car and start it, then finish loading the car: what would happen if it was to be driven off without the key? I ask for two reasons: 1) can the car be stolen? 2) could I accidentally leave my key behind, get to the destination and not be able to restart the car - sounds...

    Anybody know if there's a software update for the MMI touch? Preferably one that makes the Bluetooth software a little more tollerant when trying to use rSAP.
