    Warranty work

    Plymouth Audi have been great for me so far. It went in for rusty rear callipers and I thought I might have a battle to get them to do anything. Far from it, they couldn’t have been more apologetic and sorted it without any fuss. Very impressed by their customer service to date.

    Audi C8 A6 Avant 45TFSI thoughts/musings

    I do all town driving and country roads in Devon and I’m averaging 33mpg. In the morning going to work at 5:30 I get up to 40mpg, on the way home at 14:30 it’s down to around 28mpg. My average speed in the morning is 30mph and on the way home around 24mph. I guess London is crawling along so...

    Mudflaps

    Not bothered myself, I drive on poor country roads in Devon and the sills, wings and doors are showing no signs of stones throwing up. Keep your money.

    A6 black edition 45 stalling

    I had very similar happen a couple of days in a row. Got home after driving it for 35 minutes, put it in R and it stalled with the manual restart message. Was going to let the dealer know but it hasn’t done it since and I’ve clocked up another 2k Miles. Not much help sorry but I’ll be interested...

    Under door lighting

    Thumbs up from me, looks a lot brighter as well.

    Rusty Calliper

    An update on this. Took the car into Plymouth Audi today and they couldn’t have been more helpful. The service advisor had a quick look and agreed this shouldn’t happen on a low mileage car so they are going to treat, spray and lacquer both rear callipers. Car booked in for the 25th. Result.

    Rusty Calliper

    Because it’s 4 months old and the zinc coating shouldn’t have failed this early. If it was on 50 or 60k miles then yes I’d do it but I’ve got 3 callipers which are perfect and one which is rusty...when it shouldn’t be. Like I said, the wife’s fiat is better than this!

    ^^^^^ not happening on a new car. Any other C8 A6 owners with this?

    Rusty Calliper

    I’ve been using Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels which shouldn’t cause this. I don’t use it every time normally, just a spray of auto foam had been enough every other wash but now with the rusting I’m using it more often.

    Rusty Calliper

    Maybe so but it’s gone like this after a couple of thousand miles which in imo is pretty poor quality. The other side looks like new and from my experience if you keep on top of cleaning them they should last for tens of thousands of miles. The wife’s fiat 595 callipers look better than this one...

    Rusty Calliper

    One of my rear callipers is really rusty already 4 1/2 months in. All the others are ok so I’m assuming it’s a manufacturing/finishing fault and Audi will sort it out for me. The others look like new as I keep them very clean. Sent the pictures to Plymouth Audi and waiting for a response. My...

    Avant Tailgate

    No, has happened the odd time probably 3 or 4 times in 4 1/2 months but not enough to bother me. I think mine may have been because I have a boot liner and it had moved slightly when it was new so might have interfered with the latching but haven’t had i happen for a while now. Sounds like an...

    Audi A6 2.0TFSI Quattro Sport - Thinking of Cancelling Order

    The 2.0 engine is quite quick but the A6 is a big car and heavy so it isn’t going to set your world alight in performance or handling terms. I guess the question is, what do you want from the car? I’ve got the avant Quattro tfsi in Sline trim and it does exactly what I want, it’s very...

    M4CS to RS3...

    All modern cars are pretty dull to be honest as the driving experience is sanitised by modern engineering, brand doesn’t matter much. Recently sold an M2 which was really competent and quick but never set my world on fire. Great handling and extremely quick just predictable and lacking driving...

    A6 Vorsprung Edition coming to the UK

    It has a lot of bells and whistles but that is crazy money. Many, many other cars I’d buy before this. Probably £60k after discounts.

    Sportback Amazing

    Great to hear a positive experience. I’d have the car now and enjoy as well. Looking forward to seeing some pics.

    Raceglaze 7l water filter

    Tested my water and it’s 40ppm. Low although I still get water spots but nothing like when I lived in Northamptonshire. Going to order a Di vessel for the convenience of not bothering to dry.

    Raceglaze 7l water filter

    Just ordered the prozor, £9.99 if you buy direct from the seller on amazon. Looking forward to seeing what my reading is. Then I’ll probably invest in a filter, soft water area so the resin should last a fair while.
