    A6 Vorsprung Edition coming to the UK

    55TFSI has gone - but there is now a 40TDI, 40TDI Quattro and 50TDI Quattro Vorsprung appearing on third-party finance calculators. Don't know how accurate these are - but the 55TFSI was there on Thursday when I last checked and is now removed.

    A6 Vorsprung Edition coming to the UK

    £73,300 probably not so bad, you can get 23% discount on any A6 (including PCP contributions) via Carwow/Drive The Deal so realistically looking at £56,500 purchase price and a GFV of circa £31k after 3 years / 8k a year vs £27k for a BE with the same 55TFSI engine. All figures based on...

    Can anyone confirm the list price for the A6 Avant Vorsprung? I assume one engine choice (55TFSI?).

    2012 A6 - Steering Wheel Creaking - Slip Ring Issue [Video Attached]

    My 2013 A6 had this exact fault, it felt like a bit of string (perhaps from one of those magic tree air freshers) at somehow got caught behind the wheel. However one day I went to turn a corner and the steering wheel 'locked' and when I yanked the wheel to make the turn something snapped behind...

    FM Radio Reception - where is the booster/amplifier and what part#?

    I have a 2007 A4 Avant, the FM radio reception is very poor outside of built up areas (GPS is fine) so I figure the booster must be at fault. Could anyone tell me where it is located on the Avant and the replacement part? Is it same on the Saloon/Avant? I understand there are a couple of...

    My new 2017 A6 Avant Black Edition

    Great looking car! I've got a 2013 A6 Avant Black Edition 2.0TDI, can I ask how you feel about upgrading to essentially the same car, is the additional cost worth it? I'm toying with the idea of updating mine, but concerned I wouldn't really notice any difference for the outlay - especially...

    MFSW Wiring Fault

    Thanks @NHN - Squib ring was replaced. Audi UK wouldn't consider goodwill until I'd paid for 2 hours labour and diagnostic. Car went in for emissions recall and came out with a quote of £450-£650 to fix depending on what exactly was required once stripped down. Long story short, dealer offered...

    MFSW Wiring Fault

    My 2013 A6 Black Edition developed an annoying grating noise on turning the wheel this week. It sounded a bit like someone had put an air freshener around the steering wheel and it string had got wrapped up inside. After turning out of a parking space today, I felt something grip the wheel and...

    My latest Audi, an a4 b7 avant black edition quattro

    Any chance you could post a link to the tips @James.c ? I've been scratching my head of things to do with my A4 Avant (owned it 7 years!) and I think this could well be my first mod :)

    3.0 Trip Tronic 272bhp / Black Optic

    I was a little disappointed in the A4 line up that it didn't include the 3.0 BiTDi available in the A6 and the SQ5. I've not been able to drive on yet - does anyone have any thoughts on this model? 272BHP. Also Black Optic pack seems to have been removed from the options - will this be...

    Cheapest B9 deals?

    Drive the deal would do the above for £33,793.95 (£6335.80 saving, but options came to £3,165 on their site). Above includes £1k finance contribution from Audi and 6mts tax not £2500... https://www.drivethedeal.com/buy-a-new-car/AUDI/A4_SALOON/2.0T_FSI_252_Quattro_S_Line_4dr_S_Tronic_72544.html

    Retro-fit Front Digital Climate?

    The one thing I hate about my 2013 A6 Black Edition is the no digital temperature read on out the climate control in the front. I know this was available as part of the 4 zone climate control and then made standard for front only climate control on the 2015 facelift. Is it therefore possible to...

    Full Size 20" Spare?

    I'm looking to get hold of a full size 20" Rotor, can anyone confirm if the C7 with Bose can accept a full size spare wheel? I guess I could take a wheel off and try it, but I thought I'd ask here first just in case!

    Driver Memory Seat - How do you know?

    Hi Guys, Currently on the lookout for an A6 Black Edition 2012-2014. I see some of these cars listed as having seats with 'Driver Memory' and I can see the option on the Audi site - but the question is how can you tell if the car has this function? I saw one car listed as having this option...

    Canbus Numberplate LED's and Screws? Help!

    I'm getting sick and tired of buying "canbus" bulbs on eBay only to find they show a warning on the dash. I had forgotten about this come MOT time and the tester rounded off the screws replacing the bulbs. Can anyone advise where to purchase a decent set of Canbus LED bulbs for a B7 Avant...
