Just an update on my experience. After becoming horrified at the cost of a replacement mirror, even second hand, I set about removing the mirror and stripping it down to see if I could effect a repair. Short answer is, I have. Sadly, I did not take pics of the steps, which may have helped...

Looks complicated. Might have to try the mirror... Thanks for that; I shall bookmark that site for future reference. Don't suppose you know how hard it is to R+I the door panel?

Wife had a meet with a lorry and destroyed the o/s mirror (complete - not just the glass). Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide on how to replace it? Thanks

My kids only let on recently that my Wife used to race the local boy-racers in their souped up spoiler holders every time she used the RS6. And to think how much she moaned about the cost of the AMD stage 1 tune. Oh, we've got a Q7 now and she kerbed both drivers side alloys 'cos she's too...

Fancied a bit of freeview whilst waiting for the kids. Has anyone either fitted a proper Audi tuner and all the aerial/diversity gear to go with it or one of the after market units like a fiscube? I've got the MMI + (or high?) with HDD and wireless network. I can connect my ipad up to the...

Just in case anyone is interested, I have a 2013 Q7 (which may be a 2014 MY?) with MMI + (or is it High?) that has the HDD and wireless network. I have a data sim from Samba (Free data for watching adverts, or at least clicking them while you go surf on another tab - sim is just £2.50 if I...

It must be getting on for 7 years since I last posted on here; around the same time as my beloved RS6 went to a new owner (I'd love to know if it is still out there? Black on black avant with tints and multifunction steering wheel). I've had a few cars since but nothing as special. Last...

I think we've been here before bot never got the answer I wanted. My RS6 avant has a long screw in aerial. I want a shark-fin type that some of the saloons seem to have. I took the aerial off to wash the car and forgot to put it back on. The TV works as does the radio so what does the screw...

not drive...FLY!!

As you all know(?!?!) the front left shock is hydraulically connected to the rear right shock and vice-versa. So they said the system must have been damaged by the accident and the fluid leaked out only after I'd collected the car! I reminded them that I had told them about the 'moistness' on...

I'm coming up to 30k on the '6 and would like to share the costs (please!) with you. 2 small services 1 big service 2 sets of front pads 1 set of front discs 2 full sets of tyres Cost of the fixed maintenance plan 36 X £60 = £2160 Since I didn't pay for any of the maintenance, perhaps those...

So I hit the chunk of concrete sticking out from the side of the road at 50mph! I insisted that it go to a main agent for repairs much to the annoyance of my insurance company. 1 month later and they'd fitted two wheels, two tyres and done a wheel alignment!!! Got it back, 80mph on the...

Just had my second set fitted at 23k and a set of discs for good measure (God bless the service and maintenance package) and the ****** things started squeaking after 500 miles. Are Audi using pad material from recycled Ford Cortinas on the RS6?

sorry, been away from the PC. Yes Robert, the price sounds about right. I went for the 30k at £60 per month - I will do about 40k and pay the 8p per mile excess cos it worked out cheaper than the 40k plan?? At 24k Ive had front pads, front pads and discs, 6 tyres and 2 services. Great value...

Robert, I went for the maintenance and I think it's a great deal. i'm not sure they factored in the RS6 love of all things consumable when they worked out the prices. You forgot to mention brakes in your calculation. I did my first set of front pads at 10K. i expect discs and pads at the...
