    Anyone looking for a Facelift 2.7TDI Avant?

    As SWMBO and I both work from home, we have decided that we don't really need three cars, so we've decided to sell two of them and buy one newer car. My 2009 A6 Avant in garnet red, with manual gearbox will be up for sale shortly and I'll post an ad in the Trading Post.

    Avant Rear Armrest Dismantling

    I finally found a rear armrest with cupholders at a semi-sensible price for my facelift avant. It's from a pre-facelift and although the colour is correct the leather has a finer grain than in my car, so I was thinking that I might swap the cover over from one to the other, but I can't find any...

    Phone Cradle Removal

    Anyone know how to remove the phone cradle from the centre armrest? I've upgraded my phone and bought a new cradle, but can't see how to get the old one out and don't want to break anything.

    A6 C6 Avant Body Repair Manuals

    Anybody got access to these? My Avant has been in the bodyshop after some daydreaming youth decided he didn't like driving on his side of the road and would try mine and removed my mirror and damaged various bits of trim in the area including the chrome drip moulding that runs along the side of...

    Lemforder vs Meyle HD Front Suspension Arms

    Just wondering what experience members here have had with the either of the above? I need to replace the upper arms on my Avant fairly soon as the bushes are starting to split. Lemforder would be first choice as they make the OE ones, but Meyle HD arms seem to be widely respected on other...

    Xenon Headlamp Adjustment

    My local MOT tester adjusted one of my headlamps whilst doing the MOT this year as he said it was too high. He asked if oncoming cars had been flashing me, which they hadn't, however since the test I have been flashed quite often. Tonight I noticed that me car appears cross eyed with the left...

    Wind Noise

    I've noticed some wind noise on my Avant from around the top of the drivers window area. I don't think its coming from the roof rails and it only seems to be from the drivers window. I can't see anything obviously wrong with the seals or the way they sit and it all looks the same as the...

    Headlamp Washers

    Can headlamp washers be altered so that they don't wash the first time the windscreen is washed when the lights are on? I have read that other VAG cars can be altered so that they will only wash if the screen wash lever is pulled back for more than 1.5 seconds and also every 5th wash of the...

    Cruise Control

    Discovered the other night that if I press the clutch whilst cruise is active it doesn't disengage and goes back to maintaining the same speed when the clutch is released. On other cars that I have had with cruise, touching either brake or clutch causes cruise control to disengage, so I was...

    RS TT Wheels on A6 Avant S Line

    Has anyone run RS TT wheels on an A6 Avant? I'm considering a set of genuine RS TT Le Mans style wheels which are 9" x 19" with an ET of 52mm fitted with 255/35 x 19 tyres. I know that the correct size is 8.5" wide with an ET of 48mm, but I was just wondering if the extra half inch in width and...

    LED Reversing Lights

    I fitted some nice bright LED reversing light bulbs to my Facelift Avant last week. They are the CANBUS friendly type, so I don't get any bulb warnings, however I noticed to day that when the ignition is on, and the car is not in reverse the flicker on every so often. Is there any way to stop...

    A6 Avant Le Mans and Special Edition Models

    I am currently looking for an A6 Avant, some on a 59 plate are the Le Mans edition and an 11 plate one that I have just been to see was an S Line Special Edition. I believe that the Le Mans name was dropped and the model just became called the Special Edition, but are there any difference in the...
