    Is there a way to set lane assist to default to off?

    It is really annoying having to turn off lane assist every time I get in the car. Is there a way of setting it to default to off using VCDS? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    VCDS Cable not compatible with my newly purchased 2018 C8 Avant

    Thanks for all the opinions and advice, I decided to stick with what I know and got a new HEX+NET VCDS cable from Gendan. Great service and fast delivery. Decided to go with the unlimited VIN option as didn’t want to limit myself and end up having to pay again to get access to more VINs. First...

    VCDS Cable not compatible with my newly purchased 2018 C8 Avant

    Good to know the older cables are still worth good money if i do decide to get a newer one(partner still running a 2016 A1 so current cable still perfect for that car). Even limiting to 10 VINs doesn’t really appeal to me as my current cable has been used on many more cars than 10, so think I...

    VCDS Cable not compatible with my newly purchased 2018 C8 Avant

    I’ve done everything from basic servicing, fault finding to coding and logging with my current cable so don’t want to change and lose any of the functionality I currently have, so was curious what everyone’s go to was now as haven’t been around on the forums as much lately over the last few...

    VCDS Cable not compatible with my newly purchased 2018 C8 Avant

    I’ve just plugged in to my newly purchased 2018 C8 Avant to find that my trusty VCDS cable is not compatible, I’ve had this cable for probably 15 to 20 years and been used on many cars. I’ve looked at the newer VCDS cables and see they have limited the number of VINs the cables can be used on...

    S Line Rear Springs

    Where is the best place to source a rear spring for an A6 Avant 2.0 TDI S Line? The only ones I can find are for either standard or sport suspension and state not for S Line Models. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cam belt replacement

    It doesn’t have to be a dealer mate, although it is worth checking with the dealer as they do fixed price servicing deals on older Audi’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cam belt replacement

    I would defo change it if you don’t have a record of it being done, the damage and associated costs of a snapped cambelt far out way the cost of replacing it now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Changing rear pads / disc on A6 3.0 with EPB

    There is a guide on the rosstech website complete with a link to a YouTube video guide they have done. It’s pretty straight forward. http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Audi_A6_(4F)_Parking_Brake Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Steering Noise

    The creaking has returned just when I thought I had cured it. After another inspection I noticed the lower front control arm ball joint does not look right. The rubber boot appears very flat as if there is no grease left inside it. Although there is no obvious sign of a split in the boot. I...

    Steering Noise

    No mate, do all my own work on my cars. The power steering fluid was a little low so I topped it up, this didn't reduce the noise but I began to suspect I may have had air trapped in the system so I carried out a full bleed of the system which got rid of the noise at first. After driving the car...

    Steering Noise

    My car has developed a strange groaning noise from the power steering. It appears to be coming from the power steering rack. Has anyone had a similar fault? What fixed it? It almost sounds like trapped air in the system but I have topped it up and bled the system and the noise remains. Any ideas...

    Parking Sensor Switch

    The parking sensor switch has just packed up on my A6. The parking sensors work fine and turn on/off automatically when reverse is selected but I can no longer turn them on/off with the switch. Has anyone had the same issue? Is it any easy job to replace the switch? Anyone know how much the...
