Auditor I'm glad it worked out for you with Mark. The whole company is great - top mechanics and top service - without stupid prices to pay for frivolities that simply aren't needed. And yes, if Mark doesn't know it about an Audi it's probably not worth knowing. My wife now takes her Citroen...

That was a long time ago, since when I: - replaced the NSF airspring myself; - still had a problem; - bought a new valve block (£250 from main dealer - don't waste your time or money on breakers); - still had a problem; - took car to different main dealer. It arrived at that main dealer with...

Depends what car you're fitting them on (i.e. tread pattern doesn't look much good for an Allroad) and whether or not the (unusually long) "consumer review" was written by a knowledgeable driver or Nokian's PR guru...

By "Engine Check light" I presume you mean the small yellow icon of an engine with fan that appears towards the left of the speedo? It should come on for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on; if it doesn't then I'd suggest there is a fault with either the bulb or (less likely) the...

If you're talkning about the online reviews (such as I cited in http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a6-s6-allroad-forum-c5-c6-chassis/120181-recommended-tyres-allroad.html) then consider that, as with any consumer-authored review, it is merely the purchaser's opinion from their own perspective. By...

Audi main dealer? Or breaker, especially if it's not specific to the S6 but common across the A6 model range.

I've had my 2003 A6 Allroad 2.5 TDI tiptronic about a year now and am very happy with it; currently done 133k miles and I do 30k-40k each year.. Had the (inevitable?) suspension problem that I had been warned of, but that's now fixed. Only problems outstanding are a warning light for the EGR...

Just checked out the reviews on Uniroyal Rainsport 2 - tyre reviews, the online tyre guide and they look pretty good, albeit based on smaller and lighter cars than we have, the only real criticisms being: grip in snow sidewall stiffness & strength The former limitation I can live with because...

My button was broken when I bought the car. The replacement from the Audi main dealer was about £15 IIRC, so you could do worse than buy one and try?

Fraser, Thanks for your comments. Do you have Allroad or RS6? If Allroad I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts on the Uniroyals after you have been running them for a while.

Agreed that oil deteriorates over time, and I've previously had problems with a (non-Audi) auto box in a Land Rover used for heavy off-roading and towing. Eventually the oil started to break down, it clogged the governor, and the car was very reluctant to change up out of 1st when the oil was...

General Grabber UHP are looking looking pretty good in the reviews e.g. General Grabber UHP - tyre reviews, the online tyre guide albeit not that many people have commented, but definitely worth a further look. My only concern, having previously tried General Grabber MTs on a Land Rover, is...

Ouch, just 10k miles from the Pirelli Allroads. At 30k+ miles/annum, I can't afford to run them! Just taken a look at a review of the Continental you mentioned - Continental Premium Contact 2 - tyre reviews, the online tyre guide - which describes it as "a Premium Touring Summer tyre..." Are...

I don't know if I would be happy with the Pirellis or not, hence... The question is, now that the time has come to remove the worn-out budget tyres that were newly fitted when I bought the car, what should I be getting? Ideally I'd like something with a hard outer edge, as that seems to wear...

My 2003 Allroad is at the point where it needs new tyres, so I'd appreciate some advice if possible. The current double-spoke wheels are standard size and will be staying. The current tyres are also standard size (225/55R17) and I'll be sticking with that size. The car spends most of...

It looks as though my 2003 Allroad needs new flexible brake hoses, so I may as well take the opportunity to upgrade them. Does anybody have experience of Aeroquip / Goodrich / other stainless steel braided brake hoses on the A6, and feel inclined to recommend a brand and/or supplier?

Following on from http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a6-s6-allroad-forum-c5-c6-chassis/109740-allroad-suspension-stuck-level-4-l4.html I yesterday drove the car to the Audi main-dealer to investigate and fix the air-suspension fault. Their conclusion was that the NSF airspring needs replacing as it...

I'd agree except that when I pulled the pipe off earlier and held my finger over the end of pipe, the compressor seemed to have reasonable suction. It's slow, sure, but it's not completely useless. As to where the air's going is another matter. I have to say that this is the conclusion I have...

OK, having been under and done as advised, of the six pipes: Red & Green go to the front suspension (left & right) Black & Blue go to the rear suspension (left & right) Brown & Purple go elsewhere (I think compressor & reservoir respectively) That's on my (2003/53) car anyway I've let...

OK, I'll give it a shot. Would you advise slackening off at the airspring end, or on the block under the rear of the car? If the latter, do you know why it has six nylon tubes to control the four airsprings?
