    I stand corrected. Just shows you can't believe what you read elsewhere on the Internet!

    Whats this

    It's antennae (?for the remote locking) not meant to be attached to anything else.

    Brake pads warning came on

    Seen a number of posts on various forums where the wire connecting to the pad has got damaged causing false alerts. Think if you remove the wheels (only the front pads have wear sensors) you should be able to see if the wire has been damaged

    A6 40 TDI fuel economy?

    The Aux heater should only come on when the ambient temperature is low (?below 5c). Likeyou Iused to think it was fuel driven, but I believe that only applies to the system they fit in cold countries (eg Scandinavia) where you can pre-heat the car before you get in. The standard Aux heater is...

    Audi A6 C8 Boot Floor Spar Wheel Area.

    I would definitely look under the sub. Just been out to look at my car and there is quite a large space there which could easily absorb the tool roll and plastic holder

    Issues with Audi Connect

    Hi All. Since around 3pm yesterday afternoon my car seems to have lost its connection with Audi Connect. I cannot connect with the car via the MyAudi app (get an error message after a period of time with the and I am getting no traffic data for the navigation. Car still has one month...

    A6 40 TDI fuel economy?

    I just leave the a/c on Auto the whole time and have always done so with all my cars. Only time I would turn it off is off I needed to drive with the windows open for some reason. The amount of energy it uses is tiny in the overall scheme of things. I have found (on both diesel and petrol...

    A6 40 TDI fuel economy?

    On my old 40TDi Sport I got an average over 2 years I achieved an average of 47.18mpg over a distance of just under 18,000 miles. Over that time the worst brim to brim I got was 43 and the best 50.8. I recall on a trip back from Manchester at night I actually achieved over 60mpg, but that was...

    Possible electrical fault ? Audi A6 2019

    Given the car is about 5 years old it may be that the battery is starting to drop below the minimum acceptable level. I would check that first as it can cause all sorts of seemingly random unconnected faults. Modern car batteries do not last as long as the old lead acid ones did and the car...

    Urgent help with AdBlue fault on A6 C8 40TDI

    Think you only get the alert on the dash telling to you top up the adblue when it drops below 1000km/650 miles

    Urgent help with AdBlue fault on A6 C8 40TDI

    AdBlue delete (if detected) could result in an MOT failure as the emissions parts of the car are meant to be to the same spec as they left the factory and this would not be the case.

    Direct tpms system?

    Sorry have no idea on that

    Direct tpms system?

    The MyAudi app for my car also states that it has the direct system, but it has the system that uses the ABS sensor to detect changes in rolling circumference and hence pressure. Seems as if the terminology may have got lost in translation. The S6 Vorsprung says it comes with Direct Tyre...

    a6 50tdi avant Adaptive chassis pack?

    There are 2 different B&O sound systems on the A6. The first, initially offered as part of the Comfort and Sound Pack (included in Vorsprung spec) and now also part of Tech Pack or (on early cars) as standalone, is the B&O Premium Sound System, and the second which has the speakers that rise...

    DPF active regeneration every 5 miles?

    Simplest way to tell a region its taking place s because the engine speed at idle rises from about 800rpm to somewhere around 1000-1100rpm. When the car is turned off and the region is still happening then the cooling fan will stay on and there is often a slight burning smell around the rear of...

    MIB 3 Infotainment System

    If late 2020 then it will be MIB-3. Easiest way to see which version you have is to look in the drivers armrest. If you have 2 USB-A sockets and an SD-Card slot then it is MIB-2 if you have 2 USB-C sockets and no SD-Card slot then it is MIB-3

    3.0tdi engine oil what doo you use?

    I am pretty sure that the correct oil spec for all C8s is vw 508.00/509.00 and this equates to 0w20 so the dealer has been using the correct spec oil for the car.
