    Drivers door not opening

    So this morning and a tiny bit frosty, unlocked and opened drivers door, started engine, opened rear door to put bag in, rinsed frost off windscreen, then the drivers door would not open, and the handle felt weak as if something had broken, could only open from the inside. Got home tonight and...

    A6 Audi phone box

    I must admit when reading it it sounded odd, there’s no mention of it in the manual either of such registering, just the car effectively gives you an external antenna. Yeh the only thing I found regarding the charger were Audi supplied centering pieces to hold the phone in the correct position...

    A6 Audi phone box

    What are people’s thoughts on the Audi phone box? It seems when I out my phone iPhone 12 in the phone box it starts to wirelessly charge and the green bar lights up in the dash symbol, but after not much time the green bar goes out and the hope stops charging, and is quite warm. I’ve read also...

    Oil dipstick

    Where have some of you got a decent dipstick from to suit a 45 TFSI? Sure I’ve read it on here but hell if I can find it again, someone had a good aftermarket one I’m sure, eBay seems full of Chinese stuff, thanks

    Just the normal matrix, not hd. Audi are buggers with their options, the A5’s look the nuts, they always have since they first came out, nice and wide and low with the led running lights can remember seeing the first ones coming up in the rear view mirror..

    Yeh it is, on the app it doesn’t say if they’re part of the s line trim or tech pack

    Ah maybe not, it is an s line. Apparently a shortage of chips from the covid malarkey made matrix headlights not an option for a while..

    Brake servicing

    I’d say so they do all sorts of funky things at night, they kind of keep on full and single out the car in front and on coming traffic, dims down bright signs too, they’re not the full on HD ones though..

    Noob map update question..

    Just to add to the thread, it updated from the usb in about an hour, had a half hour or so drive, stopped to ten mins then back, as said I’m pretty sure it kept updating for the ten mins it was parked. It’s still saying there’s an update over the air, when I remember I’ll click it and let it get...

    Brake servicing

    Nice one, yeh I have auto high beam with the matrix headlights, part of the tech pack I believe, the lights and virtual cockpit anyway. They say as the Kufatec dongle configures the various modules the car throws up random errors- at which point poo will most probably come out I’ll hopefully...

    Pretty sure I’m on MIB-2 with the sockets in the front armrest, 2019. I did message Kufatec yesterday regarding the traffic signs, if I get a reply I’ll post it up here..

    Thanks for that, that’s appreciated, I’m only around 25 miles south of Norwich. One other thing I’d like to do is enable traffic sign recognition so might be able to kill two birds with one stone..

    Brake servicing

    I’m now waying up which to get, the OBD eleven looks good. Is the vcds Bluetooth nowadays? I had that around 7 years ago when I had my A4 B6?

    Brake servicing

    Nice one, just I read somewhere about having to put the brakes into service mode, and it kind of read as if it traps the fluid on the calipers when to parking brake is on, and putting it into service mode would allow you to retract the pistons a little. They really just need cleaning and...

    Brake servicing

    Can anyone advise if I need vcds or similar to service the front brakes on my A6? With the electronic parking brake I guess without it I’m stuffed for doing the rears.. Thanks
