    New Car Thread + Questions

    Hazzydayz do an electric boot upgrade if you want. I'm surprised that the ride is not more comfortable with the air suspension - it was probably just specced for towing. However, I have the SE comfort suspension and have swopped my 20" for 17"'s. I don't get any complaints from the wife about...

    A set of 17" wheels for a C7 will fit (probably not an S6 though)

    A6 C7 alloys

    I have a set of standard Audi 17" wheels on my 2014 C7. An eBay seller called "germanwheelsdirect" usually has loads of 17" wheelsets.

    Dipstick for 3.0 bitdi

    Hi Buckle, I am using part 059-115-611-AM. It probably comes off a contemporary VW Touareg using a similar 3.0l V6 engine. It seems to be on the Full mark after Audi have done the oil change.

    Biturbo owners please advice

    Google "Audi Free Health Check". Take it in to a dealer and see what's wrong. If you can't do that, budget £1000 to put things right. Check service invoices, check MOT history through on-line website. It was probably a £55,000 car back in 2013 (say £65,000 now) and parts are priced accordingly).

    New Regional Rep

    It would be nice to meet up on a summer evening at an Ace Cafe VAG night. If someone could organize to have a Audi-sport flag or similar then we could recognize each.

    Changing Head Unit

    Have you identified that the GPS antenna is not causing the problem? What happens if you plug the new unit into the old, but faulty, antenna. However, if you can remove the unit, then Hazzydayz can repair it. They will also tell you how to remove it.......

    Roof Bars for B9 RS5 coupe - carbon roof

    How unusual! I can only find roof-bars for pre-2017 models at roofbox.co.uk. The carbon roof does not cover the door opening where the the bars would mount. The tops of the doors apertures are steel or aluminium.

    Q5 Reverse LED’s

    I know for certain that Trupesh at EM Tuning has to make a VCDS coding change when he puts in his own LED reversing lamp bulbs. I've watched him do so on two of my cars. Incidentally, for anyone who lives near Kettering, he will do an LED interior light install for a nominal charge. ... and...

    Possible new owner

    I think it's people buying them on short 2-year leases that accounts for the many owners. Or folk use them for short journeys and find that the DPF clogs up. The pre-facelift A7s had lower rooflines and I could not have accommodated my large adult children in the rear. Have you considered a...

    2014 audi a6 tdi tuning

    What power are you running now and where do you want to be? The UK tuning experts are Darkside Developments who fit bigger turbo's, bigger injectors, high-capacity fuel pumps, their own design of intercooler etc. They also monitor exhaust gas temperatures while they are tuning and will always...

    Perils of ownership

    Driving up someone else bumper is a form of road rage. They are angry that you have a nicer car then them and therefore need to prove that they are a "faster/better" driver than you to compensate. A lot of the dashcam videos I see on Youtube lead me to believe theses sort of people are "high" on...
