    Tracking An Allroad

    As fishy says, just get them to do it at the most used height. Just out of curiosity, were your tyres wearing just on the extreme inner edge of the fronts by any chance, and did the garage comment on how much they were "out"?

    A6 wipers "struggling"

    Just a wild stab in the dark here, but wondering if anyone has had or heard of issues with wiper motors or mechanisms causing issues on the C6? Ours is a 3.0tdi quattro avant, and has recently started to struggle to park the wipers fully at the bottom of the screen. Over the last couple of...

    3.0 Quattro "knocking"

    Yeh, thats why I overlooked it initially. The spare is a full size too. The bolt was so big it has hit the rim and only just below the surface of the tread, hence the agressive noise while rolling.

    3.0 Quattro "knocking"

    Cheers for your input guys, but all has been resolved. Much to my relief I must add! As Elan has commented, it was a tyre problem, but the car had a huge bolt embedded in the nearside rear tyre, and as the car is on run-flats, it appeared ok from the outer edge! The lads from our regular...

    3.0 Quattro "knocking"

    3.0 Quattro "knocking"

    Got a call from the wife tonight, our 2005 3.0tdi Quattro suddenly started knocking after pulling into our village. I managed to drive it the half mile back to our house but didnt want to go over 10mph as it sounded horrific! While driving along, it appears to knock approx once every tyre...

    So how long is a long life service?

    As title really, just wanting to ask what you guys think I should expect. Reason is I have had my 2005 3.0tdi Quattro serviced at main dealer and they told me it should be between 14 & 18,000 miles and upto 2 years when the computer has set itself based on recent driving. It was serviced a few...

    Whats on your S Line log book?

    Just wondering if any of you s line owners have noticed on your log books if it says its a "S Line" After buying mine a couple of weeks ago, the log book has come back and there's no mention on there. Could be jumping to conclusions here but my immediate worries were the motor i bought was a...
