    Audi A6 Instrument cluster testing with VCDS

    Tried the instrument output tests, it tests everthing on the cluster apart from the turn signal bulbs. Anyone got any ideas if there is another way to test them with VCDS. Nick

    Audi A6 Avant 1.9tdi 6 speed - manual

    I picked up my A6 Avant 1.9tdi 6speed yesterday and so far performance is superb, considering it's such a big car. Pick it up from cardiff and on the 100 mile journey home (part motorway, part A road) she was averaging 48.5 mpg, that's good enough for me. As for any comments saying that the 1.9...

    Audi A6 Avant 1.9tdi 6 speed - manual

    The reason for the 1.9tdi is economy, my brother in law has the 2.5 tdi and he only gets mid 30's mpg. I currently have a 2.5l petrol volvo v70 which does 29 - 32mpg on a run an about 20mpg towing, (£90 to do 360 miles). A friend of mine has an A4 avant 1.9tdi and towing gets 37mpg and normal...

    Ok thanks for the info so far.A few other questions then, what would a multitronic be like for towing as when I asked the question in a audi garage I was told that yes shouldn't be a problem but the gearbox will cost £4000 if it goes wrong whereas a manual would be a £1000 ish. This put me off...

    Multitronic/Tiptronic/Auto

    I am currently looking for my first A6 avant, not yet 100% sure of whether it will be a manual or an auto of some sort. I am looking on the internet for cars and am having trouble telling whether some cars have a tiptronic or a multitronic box, is there an easy way to tell just from the usual...

    Want an A6 Avant 1.9 tdi - Manual or Auto ??

    Unfortunately the A4 just isn't big enough, I currently have a Volvo V70 and want comparable space. As for the 5 or 6 speed manual box, the thing that puts me off the 6 speed is the area that I live and travel to work i.e over mountains and along country roads. I wouldn't have thought that I...
