Sounds a lot like my old b6 which I let go after 201k didn’t service it for about 4 years and rarely had to top up oil averaged about 18k a year in it. Only got rid as the timing belt/waterpump change and the ATF service with tyres was going to cost more than the car and needed a better boot...

This seems to be the common issue for this car, wasn't taken as an option when new, but can't imagine anyone would think about it at the time!

Can't seem to find anyone selling one anywhere with the anchor and the leather or fabric so I could swap. I thought about welding to the seat but the metal backing seems a bit thin to me or maybe its just me?! Looking more likely last resort is anchor or belt if I feel confident or just go...

Already done a full peel of the carpet and nothing is there. Went to Audi and they confirmed the part for the anchor isn’t compatible so I either use the luggage anchor or have one welded to the chassis somewhere Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you recommend? What tools do I need, or using my own brute strength?!

Of course not. Thanks all the same. I’ve been considering it for some time vs retrofitting an anchor against the panels on the seat but that’s much thinner metal and doesn’t give the confidence vs the luggage anchor which I don’t see going anywhere. Only thing I can’t make sense of is if it’s ok...

Exactly what I was thinking. I’m sure it’s torqued to the body too (please correct me if I’m wrong) who’s isn’t really different to any fitted tether point Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All, I have this same problem, as I want to put my son in a group 123 car seat that has a harness up to 25kg and my avant is the same as this one with no top tether. Is it really not advisable to use the luggage hook for the top tether, could you not use that and or the seatbelt to ensure...

Seems like its only certain remappers that tend to be more afraid of mapping anything over 100k, is that just because they cannot be bothered with the potential blame if something went wrong afterwards with any moving part of your car i.e. clutch, DMF etc.

Hi, sorry for such a long reply, been a mad few months in my household! The car is doing fine, other than the bonnet hood latch switch having gone following a recent oil change and maybe the oil level sensor! Need to change them both before the next MOT, but the car has just hit 154k and I'm...

Thanks, I think I'm going to have to do the same, as i asked a specialist the same thing but they just said its a good question that nobody has answered yet... This was also asked for the CozyNSafe Excalibur seat that is similar to the Joie Bold.

Hi, did you ever get an answer on this from Joie? I am in a similar position with my A4 Avant that doesn't have the third top tether anchor point. Thanks in advance!

@Audi98 Good question I’ve been thinking the same with my A4 avant 2.0 TDI special Ed fast approaching 150k multitronic all original parts should I stay away from a remap or go for it?

Thanks Paul, i'll have a look to see what I can find. Appreciate the reply

Hi, I'm sure there is a thread on this but I cant seem to find one. The Air Con compressor on my 2004 A4 B6 1.9TDi (130) needs replacing but with Audi quoting me £760 for the part alone i'm looking at a much cheaper solution if I can given the age and miles on the car. I've come across...
