    Oil indication -- dipstick ?

    There is a plug in the dipstick tube-this is where you can vacuum the oil out for oil changes. Not sure the part number you would need for the dipstick.

    Pretty sure they will be too wide.

    Sold Genuine VCDS Hex+Can USB Cable

    You only need to pay for the support but there are plenty of knowledgeable people who can help you and the Ross tech forum is really good. I have never used the Ross tech support and wouldn’t pay for it. Mine paid for itself with one rear brake change and been used on quite a few different cars...

    40tdi fuel economy.

    Mine is averaging just over 50 mpg and is at just under 20k. It does improve over the first 10k. The cold is affecting it at the moment and I have found that the mpg drops on wet surfaces and windy conditions. I run mine in auto or individual-tried eco and it was annoying with no discernible...

    Adblue potential lock-out

    Mine came up at about 15k saying fill adblue - 1200m left. I just bought 20l and poured it in. You will struggle to get a diesel car without adblue unless you go for an older model.

    FWD vs Quattro - A6 Avant

    My A6 saloon 2.0 tdi Quattro is getting a long term average of just over 50mpg. On Fuelly app it is telling me that the average is 11.5 miles / litre. Car is currently on 16k. Very happy with it after having 3.0 tdi. Great mile muncher

    Oil Change Frequency

    Mine is on the long life service as we tend to rack up the miles. Even with lockdown we have done 16k. I do carry out an oil and filter change myself between services though.

    Removing rear discs

    It was only a couple of mill but they were pretty corroded-only 38k when I changed them. Definitely just the wear which allowed the removal. Was about £120 for parts and Audi wanted just over £400 to do it! Just away to do 2 sets of front discs and pads on our kids cars next week! At least they...

    Removing rear discs

    I managed to get my old discs out but couldn’t get the new ones in without removing the carrier. That was the worst part getting the M12 spline bit in to release the bolts. Luckily I has access to low profile impact bits.

    Nearly 700 miles range on 40 TDI !!

    I usually get over 700 miles showing. Long term average is 51mpg since I got the car and is improving. I have noticed the mpg takes a knock in wet weather.

    A3 8v oil change help

    You can often get the edge titanium at a good price. Don't overtighten the filter housing! Have a rag ready when you remove the filter - it can be quite tight and you need to give it a pull. The filter should come with a replacement o-ring for the housing - remember where this goes when you...

    2015 S3 8V DSG - Gearbox no longer smooth

    If you haven’t had it done, do it as soon as possible as they will not give any warranty or goodwill if it isn’t done on time.

    Audi A6 Subwoofer Upgrade on b&o system

    Might it be the component protection?

    A6 Avant (2018) Boot equipment query

    It’s the sub woofer. I think it fits inside the spare if you have one.

    Oil change

    That is what I have used on my other cars. Thanks. Can usually get a good deal at Costco, Amazon or Parks Motor Group.

    Oil change

    Out of interest, does anyone know the correct spec for the oil. Car came with a litre of 0W30 oil but when I have looked online, it suggests 5W30. Quite a few websites don’t even list the newest models. My car is on the long life service but I always do an interim oil change myself. Takes about...

    New A6 - Tech pack yes or no?

    I would have liked it but couldn’t turn down the offer on mine. Don’t miss it as I don’t use the sat nav much and only have 1 phone. Shame it’s such a silly price for a fancy screen and not much else. (Also something else to go wrong).

    Dash Rattle - Any successful fixes?

    Had mine in for the rattle. The tech came out in the car with me and found 2 rattles-one from the windscreen vents and one from the drivers binnacle. The put tape in and it’s all good. Got it back the same day. He told me he would take out both windscreen vent panels as if he only did one he was...

    WiFi Plan

    I think there is an option to fit an extra sim into the car. The provider they are using is pretty expensive for what they offer but apparently the updates don’t use the data you purchase but, if you use another sim, all the data usage goes through it. It’s poor when most people either have...
