    A6 C6 2.7 tdi fuel leak at High Pressure pump

    That was my first thought as well. I took the pipe off and the fitting looks fine, no sign of corrosion like in that picture. Do you think there is any chance that some sort of return might be blocked? I was thinking that might cause an issue with fuel being forced out of that fixing in the...

    A6 C6 2.7 tdi fuel leak at High Pressure pump

    Gave the car a full detail today and noticed a small pool of fluid on the floor under the engine bay when I moved the car back into its normal space. The fuel was clearly diesel. I whipped the engine cover off and the area around the high pressure fuel pump had standing fuel present in...

    Audi A6 twin 12" stealth sub install

    To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know the exact details of the fibre optic module. K&M have exercised almost NSA levels of security about what it is, who makes it and how it works. It's buried somewhere behind the dash. What I can tell you is that it does work. It somehow fools the...

    Audi A6 twin 12" stealth sub install

    I thought some members might be interested that I've finally managed to do this. Thanks to the help of K&M Acoustics in Wigan, the "fibre optic MOST battle for signal" that has raged for months is now over and I have emerged victorious. Thanks to a custom optical module supplied, fitted and...

    Build thread: Custom fitted 12" JL audio sub, with my own plans for C6

    I'm having a total nightmare with this, I can't believe that its so hard to get a full range feed. I've a box built with a pair of 12's firing through the ski hatch, but I can'get get even a half decent signal to feed it with. In theory it should be possible to eq the signal to get it a bit...

    Build thread: Custom fitted 12" JL audio sub, with my own plans for C6

    Looks like an absolute nightmare to be honest. I am determined to get some decent bass in the A6 though, everything else on the car is done now. If I have to use a £600 MOST fibre optic preamp and replace all the speakers and amps in the car, so be it. I don't have bose so I wonder if I'll...

    Build thread: Custom fitted 12" JL audio sub, with my own plans for C6

    This is interesting stuff, I'm building a twin 12" sub box for my A6 and I've as yet no idea where I'm going to get the signal for the amp from. Stupid MMI system.

    V8 S5 Buying help...

    No S5 V8 owners on here? lol I'm really struggling with options. None of the dealers I speak to who have cars on their forecourts seem to have a clue. I'm fairly sure that I need a sport diff and Audi Drive Select, But some cars I've seem claim to have one but not the other. Hows that...

    Air ride or coilovers??

    Oh a couple more points that I wanted to make, being on air and set up to run at a sensible drop for all normal driving, means that you take stain off the driveshafts and other components that are not too happy working outside their normal operating angles etc... Debate rages on in regards to...

    Air ride or coilovers??

    IMO it shouldn't really come down to cost. It's more about how you want to use the car. Coilovers give a firmer ride than air bags, but (despite recent claims by Airlift) I'd still say there were better suited to track and fast road focused cars than an air system is. They are also pretty much...

    V8 S5 Buying help...

    Hi Guys I currently drive a 3.2 V6 A4 Cab and I'm looking to upgrade to a v8 engined S5. Loved them since the day they came out and I'm finally in a position to buy one. I've decided I want a white car with the auto box, but other than that I'm a bit clueless when it come to which options...

    Realistically How Much Could I Get?

    Torsen quattro is probably the best car based 4wd system on the planet. Why anyone with a liking of performance buys an A4 without it is beyond me. The only way to make it any better would be to add a manually lockable diff. Virtually all my cars have been 4wd, I've had range rovers with...

    Parrot mki9200

    I had the same problem in my 2007 a4 with that parrot kit. The only way around it is to buy one of these and have the installer of the parrot kit use this as the input intot he audi factory system, replacing the cd changer. The puny amp built into the parrot kit sounds truely awful in the...

    Stretching tyres

    205/40 on the 8's and 215/40 on the 9's would be my choice. Bit of stretch but not crazy. Certainly nothing to get you in trouble with 'da po po' :)

    Cleaning inside headlamps?

    My b7 cab has got dirty/dusty headlamps. On the inside! I've no idea how this has happened, there's never any water in there. It's really annoying me though, even when the car is clean the headlamps are not crystal clear. Anyone else ever had this problem? I'm guessing the only way to...

    What is your MPG?

    my 3.2 v6 cab gets 34mpg on the motorway at 70. Drops to about 31mpg at 85mph. Round town its about 20mpg. Monthly average is 25 mpg. More thank happy with that to be honest.

    New B7 Cab owner

    Thanks I will. I need help from somewhere. I think subconsciously I'm waiting to find a black or white A4 3.0tdi quattro on bags for sale down the road from me. That would be the solution to all my problems. :)
