If it turns out its unique to the 3.0....I want to sell ours and buy a 2.0. I think these cars are fine without the power - not like they've got sportiest handling out there. C7 much better than C6 though. C6 even with sline was like steering a grain barge in high seas with a rudder made out of...

I think it's just because the 57 plate Multitronic avant didn't do any of it and was a much more refined car for it...as a result, I know how good the Multitronic can be no it's dissapointing that the new one has these deficiencies, or outright problems, depending on your view. Just to check -...

Oil changed ~8k ago. It's been doing it now and then for about 20k miles at a guess. My father in law should have reported it to Audi at last service when still in warranty, but he's so busy and forgot, plus thought he was trading it in at that point, so not a priority!

A quick search shows that this might be a problem with the timing chain tensioners, but this seemed to be for older cars, no reports on anything like a 2013 model, so I want to check if people think these symptoms match... Car: a6 c7 sline avant, 3.0tdi Multitronic, 2013/62, 67k miles. When...

Back in Feb I took on my father in law's 2013/62 a6 3.0tdi Multitronic sline avant after he got a new 3.0 Quattro sline avant. It's the Fwd Multitronic 200bhp, 400nm power train. For the most part does what it's supposed to do... Effortless, train-like, seamlessly smooth acceleration from 0 to...

Update to close this out. I just cleared all fault codes and after a day or two everything was back to normal.

Hey NotNormal, thanks.... Had already tried the MMI reset thing to no avail. It looks to me like a bunch of ECUs are complaining about not being able to communicate with each other. I think your idea about there being a break in the fibre optic MOST datalink is a good one, but there's been no...

Hi all, hoping someone can give me a pointer in the right direction to get me out of a mess. On track to privately sell our A6 C6 on Saturday and today ,Thurs, I put the car in a local garage to get a basic service - just oil+filter change. We just got an A6 C7 and need the C6 sold to sort out...

The black C6 is my Wife's (just bought off in-laws to replace that stupid Fiat 500.) It's a 2.0TDi SLine (140bhp) with Multitronic, Bose, leather, satnav. It's done 110k and has been in the family since new and has been relatively trouble free apart from the rear wash wipe ******* water all over...

im such a dumbass. didnt even know there was a button on bottom side of right stalk. all working again now. helps to read the manual sometimes.

yep, i had the wet carpet in pass footwell too. body/convenience ecu was full of water! car was like chitty chitty bang bang....hazards flashsing, windows winding down, madness. rinsed in DI water and dried out...all fixed. root issue was leaking washer tube for rear window.

downside....NOx emissions go up, polar bears die. ecu Might get a bit confused and order up a derate, but probably not on a euro3 engine. plus side... better fuel econ and performance

Just tonight added a front centre armrest to my a6. easy enough job and now got the bug for adding more stuff to make this awesome all-rounder of a car even better to live with!.... high on the wish list would be cruise control....The donor car had a cruise stalk and was also a 2002. My car has...

Hi all, As of this morning's startup on way to work, my DIS suddenly stopped working normally. The top half normally shows radio or CD track info in red...this is now blank/black. The bottom half usally displays mpg, miles till empty, etc, controlled by buttons on end of RHS stalk; but this has...
