    Oil Temperature Rise

    I was driving down motorway at 70 on cruise (honest,officer) and watched the oil temp rise to a touch over 100. Had service recently but (electronic) oil level is OK. Before service , it kept to over 90, never more even on a thrash in hot weather. Coolant not touched in service only an oil...

    Oil indication -- dipstick ?

    I am not convinced the virtual oil level display on the MMI is telling the truth, it is showing lower than it should just after an oil change. I spotted this just as I picked up the car from an Audi dealer oil change last week. I know what you're thinking and I did too ( that they hadn't filled...

    Sat Nav issues

    Anyone search for a town on the sat nav, then see the town pop up and when you click on it, it says destination not found. The other night, this was really important to me that I found somewhere ( Castleton, near Sheffield) as my daughter was panicking in severe snow , trying to get back to the...

    Keyfob Battery Change

    Battery in ignition key is getting flat, I got a warning from car. Manual says remove emergency key ( easy, which I did ) and use that key to get to the battery by inserting it 'at an angle'. WTF ?? , no way anything moves or twists or slides using the emergence key. I feel a total numpty, can't...

    Recent Audi visit-- no gearbox update

    Took my 2019 50TDi in for an Adblue fault, which I posted earlier. Surprise, surprise no faults found, they said as a one-off gesture they would fill it up for free. Making out that I was a tool in a forgetting to top it up. But the car never asked me to, it gave me a different message. Spoke to...

    Adblue potential lock-out

    Got error message whilst driving 'Adblue system error, no re-start permitted in 650 miles.' Or words to that effect. So I shat myself, at night on M6 in driving rain, traffic everywhere, low on fuel. Parked up in service station, engine running, because if you read the error message literally...

    Oil Change Frequency

    My A6 is 18 months old with 8700 miles on the clock, mixed town and motorway driving. The car says it will need oil change and inspection in 6 months or at 10400 miles. Bottom line is that the car will not have had an oil change for 2 years by then which seems excessive . It’s a 3.o litre...

    Aftermarket exhausts

    The boy racer in me would like my A6 Avant to sound like an Aston which has a 'gentleman's' exhaust sound IMHO. Has anyone fitted beefier, louder exhausts and do these kits exist for the A6 ?

    Oil level Indication Problems

    For the 8 months that I have owned my A6 from new to 7600 miles, the oil level has never shifted from maximum. Checked my App tonight and it’s suddenly now at 30%. I don’t believe the indication but there is no dipstick to check. No visible leaks either, jeez it’s a new car. Anyone else seen this?

    Manual Tiptronic seems to stick

    First time owner of 50 TDi with auto box so bear with me. I am stationary and select manual. If I work the paddles everything is fine. But if I don't the car sometimes ( not always ) sticks in first and before I know it I am doing 4000 rpm in first frantically trying to change up on the paddles...

    Sat Nav help needed

    I plan to go to Leipzig in Germany in a few months. If I google map my route on my iPad I am given three routes. I want to maximise time on autoroutes for speed ( heh, heh) . Should I break the route down into steps to check each one before I go ? I am worried that it will take me the shortest...

    Media Centre problems

    So, Audi A6 50. Beast of a car. But... I have digital cockpit and up to a few days ago my iPhone was playing back in the car my iTunes library via Bluetooth. Absolutely no problems at all. For a few days now nothing. It sees the tracks and the artist but not the albums. And selecting a track ...

    Audi Dashcam worth it ?

    Dealer quoted an astronomical £799 for front and back dash cams fitted. Anyone had a go at self fitting ? I have an old Nextbase camera which I could fit . Any thoughts, anyone on the Audi camera?

    Screenwash type

    A trivial question, does the car take pink or blue screenwash ? I haven’t yet replenished it since new. And finally, is there a warning light somewhere on screenwash level.?There is for just about everything else!

    Anyone wrapped their A6?

    I have a white A6 50, almost new. I would like to get it wrapped in something like that BMW solid blue colour( sky blue on 3M colour charts). Maybe it’s a question for the dealer but how would that affect warranty and resale value ? Anyone had a wrapped car- any problems with car washes or even...

    A6 50TDi Oil usage

    Anyone have any figures for expected oil burn for these 2019 diesel beauties ? I also read on these forums that an Audi dealer recommended Castrol 5W-30 as the oil of choice. Any comments from anyone ?
