    Supplementary Heater

    I have an A6 Avant SE, 3.0Tdi, lovely car, coming up to 10 years old, all good and only 73k miles on it. After owning it for 8 years and always suffering lack of heat for the first 20 minutes or so on winter mornings, my wife discovered something the other day. On one such cold morning, she...

    Phone will not connect to car

    This is a 2012 A6 S-Line Avant 3.0TDi Had the car since 2013, hands-free phone has always worked faultlessly. However, suddenly the car system cannot find the phone. Phone is an iPhone SE, a few years old, running iOS 14.4.2, right up to date. The phone works fine in our other car. The car has...

    Header tank - water level sensor

    Hi all, This is on a 2012 3.0TDi S-Line Avant. Had a couple of 'false alarms' recently with the car telling me it's short of coolant, when it obviously wasn't. The first time it simply went away when I restarted the engine, the second time it persisted but went away after I waggled the wires on...

    iPhone problems with 2012 A6

    Hi all, I have a 2012 S-Line 3.0 Tdi Avant. I use the hands-free quite a lot, with a reasonably modern iPhone. For the last few months, it seems to have stopped loading 'recently dialled' numbers into the car's system which is quite irritating as normally it's a short cut to most numbers that I...

    Good parts supplier for rear wiper motor

    A6 S-Line 3.0 Avant TDI 2012..... After several strip/rebuilds of my rear wiper motor (usual problem, water in it?) I had to give up - the contact plate that controls the intermittent wipe was beyond it all. I didn't even ask an Audi dealer for a price on the part. Eurocarparts wanted £245...

    What a wonderful car...

Basic S-Line plus lower suspension and a lights package. It's now well into its 5th year, coming up to 40K miles. Apart from routine servicing...

    Hard water area.............. clogged-up screen washers

    Anyone else get this? We live in a hard water area. If I don't use the car for a few days, and the weather's warm, I sometimes get one or some of the washer jets clogged up with chalk. A devil to clear out, too. I remember a similar problem on a Polo my wife owned a few years ago, so perhaps a...

    Still lovin' it

    Into our 3rd year with out 12-reg A6 3.0 Tdi, and still love it despite extreme wallet pain caused by recent major service at main dealer. Told myself that will be its last main dealer visit.... Just a wonderful long range cruiser. Another 300-mile round trip just done, three-up and no hanging...

    Suggestions for new tyres, please?

    Hi all, new on here so be gentle. I have a 2012 A6 3.0 TDI Avant S-Line. Still has the original tyres, Pirelli P Zero 245/45R18 100Y. The front 2 were well worn when I bought the car and I swapped them to the back. However, one year on, at 25K miles, they are coming up for replacement, fronts...
