Good morning all, small update for everyone. Sadly we had to take Aston to hospital at midnight on Monday, as he was not well, and had a temperature. He's been kept in hospital, and my wife Lindsey has been living in an isolation room with Aston, while staff administer anti-biotics to him, and...

I would imagine its the Thermostat - that's what it was on the Daimler. If I do it I'll post a video of how its done if it works. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I picked the Audi up last night, and all work is done. It needed two types of pulley; one for the alternator, and I forget what they called the other one. Then it's had a new Auxiliary belt too. It has also had all new glowplugs, I mentioned to them it had sometimes been slow to start. I was...

Had a clattering noise coming from the engine bay of thd Audi this week. Was enough to scare me to stop using it, as the sound appeared to be one of the fan belt pulleys. The Kings Lynn VW centre checked the car today, and reported that some pulley component (have have not the foggiest what...

As long as the wheels clear the brake calipers I can't see how it matters. Were 17 inch an option on the 3.0 A6? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Just a small update today. It was nice weather, and Aston kept saying he wanted to go outside, so we decided to clean the daily workhorse. After all with the mileage I do its getting filthy. Here's Aston's "how to" on keeping your Audi A6 clean this winter: Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Yes I think the only way you can get Bluetooth audio is to buy the AMI module, then get a Bluetooth receiver that plugs into an aux input. Its a more involved/more expensive operation than on a facelift 3G model. This might help...

Excellent to find you already have the aux! Best of luck with the rest. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Hi guys, hope everyone is well! I have a new video, which details the purchase through restoration, to the current monkey business Aston has been getting up to. Thought some people might enjoy it? I have been doing a lot of sideshows with our family photos, so I've gone a similar way with...

No idea - wish I had a heated steering wheel! Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

I dont know much... so can't answer all your questions... But an Audjo aux in is possible, but different depending on the model/year. What year is your car? Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk

Thanks for this - I need to phone a gearbox specialist and arrange it. I'm pretty surprised a reputable specialist did not want to change the oil, but its even more surprising they did not know the gearbox - what you say actually makes sense of something for me; the service book has several...

Well it took me a while to remember, but I finally watched mine. The action is very smooth on mine, and it never gets close to even touching the window rubbers. The action is very consistent, and does not drift at all. So maybe you do have a linkage problem? Clutching at straws, are the...
