    Some strange noises from what sounds like the transmission or drivetrain of my S6 !

    I've just been on a 300mile round trip to Devon & on the way down I could hear a funny noise but very hard to describe exactly. It kinda sounds like a faint squealing/clicking noise.

    A4 3.0 Cab using too much fuel

    I got my Mum an A4 3.0 Quattro cab 2004 some months back, although she has been happy with it she's not happy about the fuel economy. I told her that it's a 3.0 litre Quattro & will use quite a bit of fuel but she says it's using so much more than her Merc 320 SL. She then told me how much she...

    Can long life oil be mixed with normal oil?

    Yesterday when driving down the motorway the oil light light came on to say I had low oil, pulled in at the services & sure enough the oil was on the minimum.

    funny suspension noise after going over some bumps.

    I've just been out in the S6 & was driving across a field, suddenly over a bump I heard what can be described as a "boing" type of knock noise, went over another bump, the same again. Didn't hear it again all the way home until I got back to my road when I heard it again . I jacked up the front...

    What's the allroad jacking up mode all about? It tells you in the manual before the car is raised on a jack to put it in jacking up mode? Last week in Kwik fit they just jacked it up & removed the wheel to do the balancing. I'm going to test fit some alloys today so wondered if it's necessary?
