    2.7 and 3.0 differences?

    I have both the 2.7 and 3.0 in an Allroad. Both of these had auto boxes. In the Allroad the 2.7 only came with an Auto box but in the 3.0 offerred the Auto box as an option I think it was £1500. If looking around then look at the road tax figures. The 2.7 was an 06 plate and it cost £460 per...

    touch up paint! am i doing it wrong?

    I never use the brushes with the touch up paint. I was recommended to use a fine artist brush from Hobbycraft or the likes and then clean it with thinners. I have also used the Halfords touch up paint as the pen nib is very good at putting down a small spot of paint. They can mix the paint...

    Towbar fitting

    If you go for a Westfalia towbar and have it fitted at a Westfalia dealer then they should be able to code the trailer mode. I had a Westfalia fitted to my 2009 Allroad and had quotes from £500 to £1400. The alloy panel under the bumper was £150 from Audi but on Westfalia dealer offered to get...

    I have a 2010 model A6 with Adaptive Xenons. I asked the dealer about changing over the headlight aim. On some models it is possible and mine is one of them. It is done using the dealer computer or VCDS. My Audi dealer quoted me about £10 to do it. My old 2006 model A6 with Xenons could not...

    RNS-D into an allroad. Don't laugh please.

    To get the DIS to display Nav Data you will need the TMC module plus the associated wiring. The TMC module not only provides traffic data it also converts the data from the RNS-D to display on the DIS. It is not a simple matter to fit the the RNS-D into the Allroad if it has the standard...

    Rear wash wipe

    I had a similar problem with no washer on the rear screen. Try having a feel around the passenger footwell. There is a connection there which if it leaks will pour water into the footwell. The connection is very hard to find as it is within the wiring loom. The connectors that Audi use are...

    I have seen a socket hammered onto a locking wheel nut to remove it but looking at the pictures I am not sure it will work in your case. You could try talking to a tyre place to see if they can help.

    Passenger door wont open?

    A few years ago this happened on my Corrado. I brought a new lock and air pipe from the dealer and asked them how they would replace the lock. They said that you could bang the door near the lock to see if that worked or they would try and remove the door card from the inside but that may well...

    A6 Warning Lights

    I believe this to normal. I think that when you press the check button the warning lights come up in turn just to show you it is doing something. At the end of the check the display should show OK if there are no problems.

    How to steal an allroad ?

    I would take the car to the dealers the good news is that they can disable all the keys and then reprogramme the keys that you have. If some one has a spare key or a cloned key then this will not start the car any more. It may still be possible to use the key to unlock the doors so it might be...
