    BiTDi troubles

    Hi All, I’ve moved to a 313ps BiTDi and it’s been nothing but trouble. a few weeks ago I had limp and got codes for DPF and turbo actuator. I had the DPF removed and mapped out. The car then only had occasional, and short lived, limp episodes that would clear themselves. I got a new...

    Avant boot lid sticks

    The boot lid on my Avant doesn’t open smoothly and then sticks at the perfect height for me to bang my head. I have to push it up the rest of the way. I’m assuming that it is the struts failing. Is there likely to be anything else causing this?

    Problem with reverse sensors

    My reverse sensors have started acting up. I get the beep as I go in to reverse but then they don't sense anything. Can VAGCOM identify which one(s) has/have failed or do I just need to replace the lot? I assume it is likely to be the sensors rather than the wiring? I've done the whole 'stick...

    Replacing outer door skin

    How easy is it? I've found plenty of how-to's on removing the inner door trim, but can't find one for the outer door trim. I'm assuming it can't be too hard as plenty are for sale on the bay of e. Has anyone done it? Front drivers outer door skin is the one I'm interested in

    Rear wheel position?

    The rear suspension on my Avant had failed so I decided to go with Vogtland GT coilovers as replacements. It's sat too low at the moment but will hopefully get it adjusted over the next couple of days. What set me off thinking that the suspension was failing was that the rear passenger tyre was...

    Slow starting 3.0 tdi

    As per the title. My 3.0 TDi has always been slow to turn over and start. It’s had new injectors, new glow plugs and a new fuel filter. None of those have made a difference. There are no codes. What’s next?

    Brake upgrade

    I’ve asked before and didn’t get far so I’m trying again. I’m looking at brake upgrades for my A6 and want to know my options for upgrading within the Audi range. On my old A4, it was as simple as changing the carriers. Is the same true of the A6?

    No spec sticker

    Hi all My B7 A4 2.0 140 s-line Avant doesn't have any spec stickers on the car or service book. I need to order brakes but without that stickers don't know what size I've got. Can the spec be accessed via the VIN at all?

    C6 bumper only facelift?

    Hi All, I was wondering if a C6 facelift bumper is a straight swap on to a pre-facelift? I have an SE and want an S-Line bumper. The price difference between pre and post facelift bumpers is ridiculous. On pictures they look like they fit but I'm wary of minor differences?

    3.0 TDi no low end torque

    2006 3.0 211ps Quattro. A couple of weeks ago I jumped in the car and it felt really flat until the turbo kicks in. The turbo kicks in at 1500-1700rpm. This hasn't changed in a fortnight now. The car is mapped and I've done about 8k on the present map without issue. There are no faults...

    Blowers stop working

    2.0 140 TDi Avant. When the outside temperature creeps above about 20 degrees the blowers stop working completely. There are no faults registered. What am I most likely to be looking at? A wiring issue to the controls? Maybe wiring at the blower motor?

    Hi, I have the RNS-E with factory Bluetooth. Earlier this week the Bluetooth stopped working. After reading some threads on the common problems I pulled the fuse to cut power to the module. Then I noticed that the fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse and it blew as soon as I turned the ignition...

    More supportive seats?

    I have SE full black leather and they aren't very supportive. The grip of the car far outweighs the grip of the seat and I don't like trying to corner from the passenger seat! I'm not paying £2000+ on eBay for S6/RS6 seats as much as I would like them. I'm not convinced that the S-Line seats...
