    Audi A6 Temp gauge not working

    Hi... i have a similar issue that it takes forever to warm up and after a 15min round town trip it hardly moved :-(. Any suggestions where to source thermostats (both coolant and engine)? And that famous question - can it be diy-ed on 3.0 tdi :-)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What's an A8 like to live with?

    I had D3 and it is a dream to drive (4.2tdi engine)... Cost to own is significantly higher compared to all cars i had before, eg. X5's, 7 series bmw, Jag XJ etc. Service record/s is a must for proof of work done on the car. It's a premium brand with top of the range model hence expect higher...

    Quick one for novice in the 'S'... Apart from cosmetics and trim level what does S offer over and above stock 4.2? Cheers

    Soft Close

    Same here... All works bar driver's door that very temperamental (to say the least)... Guess it can wait for one of those moments where persistence will pay off ;).

    gearbox oil change query

    I think 3.0TDI's only came in 4x4 mode [Quattro] and Tiptronic is the gearbox they used on them [don't know the ZF's code from top of my head]. One way to check/validate is to start the car and move gear lever to the right [tiptronic mode] and see how many gears/number pop on the dash. 1..6 -...

    gearbox oil change query

    are you having any notable issues with yours...? and what is the mileage on a car? Personally if it is a Tiptronic [fitted to all Quattro's] I wouldn't touch it... M'tronic - different story.

    A6 S Line Avant 2.0TDI (BRE) - assistance needed to decypher VCDS 'error'

    stock Audi 110Ah batt. (made by Varta)... it was a simple swap out, old one out -> new one - in. I also noticed that everything worked right away and no issues with electrics and no coding of radio/MMI required. Is that 'typical experience'?

    A6 S Line Avant 2.0TDI (BRE) - assistance needed to decypher VCDS 'error'

    hi guys, I did re-run the scan on VCDS (following a batt. replacement) and I get the same set of errors as I mentioned in my original post... needless to say that my vehicle didn't want to start on disembarking the ferry in Calais :) (and with new battery). Considering I had driven it for 3h+...

    Parking sensor fault

    hey guys, i sometimes have intermittent parking problems on my Avant (mainly rear though)... and what's more interesting front ones do work irrespective if rears are okay or not - is this typical behavior? One other thing i'm a bit suspicions is that they are not genuine Audi (probably have...
