    2017 2.0tdi Quattro rattle on initial set off..

    Over the last couple of days I’ve noticed when I initially set off after 1st start up, the appears to be a rattle followed by a repetitive thud with each circumference of the wheels for 50 yards or so. Then it clears itself. Only on the 1st drive away after a start up. Any ideas?

    Paint stripper vandals

    This is reassuring. Thanks As long as it’s done tip top I really hope they don’t write it off. A substantial amount has gone on my tyres and they have gone a weird colour, I know I can cover it up with tyre black etc. Do you think it could have damaged the rubber and structural integrity if the...

    Paint stripper vandals

    Thanks for your reply. My insurance have told me to go to Brooklands Auto Body centre next Tuesday for 8:30am. Obviously one that they know will do it cheap. I want a proper job doing, I am willing to go and see what they say. If they say it’s uneconomical for repair thats fair comment, if they...

    Paint stripper vandals

    Evening All My beautiful 2016 Met Black A6 Avant BE had paint stripper poured over every single panel on Saturday night. It was a random attack as a few cars were done in our village.

    Attempted theft!

    Yeah, the repairs are to include new doors. So that will be why I guess. With them being aluminium. Yeah I’m gutted but I’m sure she will soon be returned to her former glory. Can’t wait. Roll on 7th October when the repairs commence.

    Attempted theft!

    Hi, I’ve had my beautiful A6 Avant black edition for only 4 months, some absolute low life attempted to force the doors on the passenger side of the car causing significant damage to both doors & rear quarter. They couldn’t get into the car so decided it would be a great idea to then scratch it...

    4th Audi.

    I’ve just picked up my 4th Audi since I switched to the brand. Got a beautiful 1 owner 2016 A6 Avant Quattro Black edition auto. Love the car already having only done 100 miles in it. Wondering what retro fits anyone has added that doesn’t already come with this model specification?

    Hi guys, I am after a little help regarding the plastic lock cover on the drivers door. Some delight thought it would be a good idea to attempt to break into my car and smashed the cover over the lock, the handle itself is still intact, it is just literally the little part that clips over the...

    Alarm issue.

    It's just gone off again, I started it up and it thinks the boot it open when it's not. So I guess there is a problem with the boot mechanism. Where do I start with that?

    shopping for a a3 2.0 tdi sports back 2009+what's classed as high mileage thanks guys

    As for difference between the two, yes there is. Everyone has opinions about the two engines. I prefer the 170, best thing is to test both and decide what you prefer.
