    Missing paint, anybody else got the same issue?

    I would say that where it's lifted it is exposed to the elements there near the wheel, it will more than likely lift and peel if it doesn't get sealed. I actually looked for this on my A6 after having a BMW with the same issue (pressure washer took the paint off on the inside). It's not...

    What next?

    I sold mine back to the dealer last week to cancel the existing finance. I'm in no rush to find an immediate replacement when I work from home now due to covid and have access to another car. I was tempted to get another Audi however after looking at other brands that come with a lot of...

    Missing paint, anybody else got the same issue?

    My thought is if they remove it as it's not sealed it will eventually lift the paint and start to spread and peel?

    Lane Assist

    Motorway - it's great, can't complain. A-Roads - it's tried to kill me multiple times so I toggle it depending on the situation.

    What next?

    I had a call yesterday from the dealership enquiring as to what I'm going to be doing with the car now I'm past the 2year mark. They offered me an A4 Avant Black Edition35 TFSI Auto with the comfort and sound pack. It's a nice car don't get me wrong and there's a few extra bit's it has over mine...

    What next?

    I was in positive equity 2 weeks ago and now I'm £1.5k in the negative! I've been considering getting rid the car a fair bit as of late seeing as it's just sat on the drive this past year.

    New A6 - Dash Rattles and Left Foot

    My whole dash was replaced after a few journeys on the M25. I'm pretty sure that motorway rattled the whole interior to death!

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    Yes you are correct the actuator had failed. The tech is coming back today with a number of parts to replace. They did manage to get it open eventually so I was able to refuel and make the journey home.

    My latest issue - Currently stuck in the car park of a petrol station with Audi Assist on their way with an empty tank and the fuel flap sealed shut.

    New A6 - Dash Rattles and Left Foot

    I had the same problem with the center trim rattle. It got progressively worse after driving on the M25, I wonder why that was? Audi replaced the whole center trim under a warranty and that rattle hasn't come back. My latest rattle is now coming from the silver bezel around the MMI, placing my...

    Extended LED Interior Lighting Pack

    Something I noticed whilst keeping busy under quarantine - Has anyone else noticed that under the door cards and dash the lighting channels are already installed in their vehicle even if the option for the Extended LED Interior Lighting Pack was not purchased? So my question is... What do you...

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    I forgot to add that also. Sometimes it is because of the sensor not having a clear view however there have been multiple occasions where its been a clear, sunny and dry but it still disables the features and I get an addition amber warning triangle illuminated on the dash which suggests more...

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    The car can be great. The features are there, the feel, the mechanical reliability. My opinion is that with, at least my model, it's unfinished. I've never had a car that has so many issues before with the price tag that the C8 carries. It's not a problem car, that's evident from other owners...

    My A6 Avant Problems!

    Here's my two cents. 1) Gearbox/throttle response. I agree with you, it’s extremely slow although I have got into the habit of changing into S/Dynamic. I should not have to do this every time that I want to pull away faster than a tortoise. 2) Android Auto/Car Play still does not work properly...
