    V6 PWR - 3.0 Quattro

    3l 245 Avant: on my summer wheels (255/35/20 OEM Pirelli) crusing at 75-80 will return 45-48 depending on the temperature; On the winter rubber (225/55/17 Michelin Alpine 5s) doing the same, I can push it past 50. Both done in Auto mode... Town driving, it is mid 30s. Sent from my mobile...

    V6 PWR - 3.0 Quattro

    This might be down to the cold weather (I can always see the drop on my 3.0)... On the other hand I usually go 1 full tank of Nitro+ then one of the regular diesel from Esso. Never noticed anything different. Sent from my mobile...

    Keyfob battery

    I have never experienced any problems (changed batteries in both fobs several times). As long as you don't leave it overnight I guess, you should be ok... ;) Sent from my mobile...

    Is it possible to swap the RS6 radar domes for fog lights?

    So, I'd start with this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301929477886 and probably this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222086442596 Not sure tho if the first item is a direct replacement for the ones on your bumper... Sent from my mobile...

    Is it possible to swap the RS6 radar domes for fog lights?

    Not entirely correct. Pre FL SE cars have good old fashioned fog lights. Hence, this should be OP's starting point for research... Sent from my mobile...

    How reliable is the 7-speed S-Tronic?

    On my 13reg 3.0tdi it is flawless from the day one. Not sure however if the unit in the 2.0 is the same... Nonetheless, whatever you do, check that it had its oil done every 38k... Sent from my mobile...

    Feel I need to qualify this statement a bit further: this is the case for the UK market; not sure if there were differences elsewhere. Sent from my mobile...

    Gearboxes

    The only "change" Audi did on C7 was to drop multi for STronic on the facelift cars... ZF was only ever used on BiTDi and RS. Sent from my mobile...

    Gearboxes

    "Not quite - the pre-facelift 245TDI's used the ZF (tiptronic), but the later models use the Steptronic/S-tronic (DSG)." Err, nope... 245 (pre-facelift) comes with the STronic 7 speed box. Happily running mine so no confusions there... Sent from my mobile...

    biTDI fuel capacity

    IIRC on pre-FL, 65 was standard, you could opt for 75 (as I did). FL cars should be "fixed" to 72 or so due to the adblue tank. Sent from my phone...

    what is this colour?

    Really hard to say from your photo. The easiest way would be to look at the sticker with all options, etc in the boot, no? Sent from my phone...

    Black Edition Alloys

    Wheels from eBay.at (.de is also popular but I find prices being better in Austria). You might want to choose the season carefully (it should be ok now) as they flood it with good wheels once the massive swap to winters start. For tyres - Oponeo is my favourite place. It seems that pound...

    Black Edition Alloys

    For far less than that money (£800), I got a full set of mint original 20" S6 speedlines from Austria... Additional £520 gets you the factory fit PZeros. So, why settle for the first option? Sent from my phone...

    V6 PWR - 3.0 Quattro

    My 245 avant hasn't missed a bit since new (13 reg). You can push it past 50mpg if drive like a granny and yet I managed 157 MPH on Autobahn... :D Fully laden (4 people plus all you need for a month worth of hols) it still shifts as a daemon. We did cross continent several times. Just make sure...

    V6 PWR - 3.0 Quattro

    Big factor would be a gearbox as well! 2012 2.0 auto is multi vs s-tronic on 245 or tiptronic on 313. So, make sure you know what you're going for. BTW 3.0 245 can easily match mpg figures of 2.0... and this was my exact choice. :) Sent from my phone...

    Exhaust upgrade on 3.0TDI 245

    Thanks guys. My initial idea was to "free things up" and derestrict the flow. Not a big fan of adding the artificial noise when the V6 itself is capable of doing a cracking job. Will explore the route of local specialists to see if they can fabricate something... Sent from my phone...
