    Manual gear knob loose

    Hi all, I have a 2012 A6 and about 5/6 weeks ago the gear knob became loose (can be twisted either clockwise or anti clockwise by about 15 degrees. Asked Audi to have a look at it when it was in being serviced but they must have forgotten. I read on another thread for another model that a...

    Small Tank?

    Holy Ghost! 40 litre tank in a 2.0 tdi? That's annoyingly small. I curse the 75l tank of my C7 A6 2.0 tdi every time I have to fill it but it does have its advantages.

    First gear clutch judder

    Hi guys, Bit of an update: When I purchased the car there was a document with it that showed that clutch, flywheel and release bearing were all changed at circa 20k from memory. The price of work was somewhere in the region of £2500. I booked my car in with Belfast Audi for Wednesday 2nd...

    First gear clutch judder

    Evening all, the purpose of this post is to vent / hear other owner's views. Currently have a 12 reg Audi A6 2.0 TDI 177bhp. The car has just turned 40,000 miles and has a full Audi history. At 18 months old / 17k the car had a clutch and flywheel fitted at an eye watering cost thankfully...

    Centre cap diameter

    So just to bring an end to this thread. The other one I ordered on ebay did not fit either, so a call to Malcolm at Aberdeen Audi saw me with the correct fitting centre cap within 24 hours. Third time lucky as they say. All's well that ends well!

    Centre cap diameter

    The face of it is too big, whereas clip is seemingly too small. I've just measured them. The one I bought on eBay appears to be 68mm. The ones actually on the car are closer to 60mm approx so just ordered a 60mm cap on eBay. Will update in a few days when it arrives. Failing that - anyone wanna...

    Centre cap diameter

    Thanks for your help JG. I have tried that, but some of the results returned show the same part number as the one I have already purchased that hadn't fitted. I dare say I'll end up removing the wheel / centre cap to get to the bottom of it. Strange as the one I bought looks identical to the...

    Centre cap diameter

    Hi guys, Wondering if anyone has any 18" 5 spoke S-line alloys who can help me out. I'm missing one so bought what I thought was identical centre cap on eBay, but alas it doesn't fit. Has anyone got one lying about and can quote me the part number? Or alternatively know what the diameter of...

    Rear Mat Clip broken

    Just an update I mentioned it to the the service dept today, it was declined as a warrenty fix as they deemed it damage rather than faulty. Obviously it is damaged but I don't think it should have broken so soon into ownership experience. Any thoughts? Let sleeping dogs lie?

    A3 1.6 TDI S-Tronic MPG - what have you got?

    Just to add to this thread my 9000 mile 1.6 tdi Manual's DIS can read over 65mpg over a 50 mile point to point countryside journey if driving very economically. Managed approx 650 from a tank when doing mainly long journeys (100 or 150 mile round trip journeys) Very impressed with the economy...

    A3 Tdi MPG?

    Is that from a 1.6tdi? My Friend is currently running on 'coloured' diesel and has gotten 350 miles from half a tank, significantly higher than what I usually get (5/550), once this tank is used up though he's not putting any more coloured stuff into it, have noticed the car slightly smoky at...

    Grand job! Thanks for the advice mate. I may sort it out myself, failing that I'll mention it to the dealer the next time it's in for a service

    Rear Mat Clip broken

    It hasn't ripped the carpet no, it's as if the narrow small plastic part that goes below the carpet that has the 'male' carpet holder has snapped, NHN. I was shocked at this damage already to be honest, waiting on a call back from the dealer. You're spot on Graham, I'll lose no sleep over it...

    On the hunt for Suzuka Grey A3

    Yeah it's metallic white. The photos are very poor, bad light to show off the colour. The salesman reckons its closer to Suzuka grey rather than Ibis but that remains to be seen. Good luck in the search anyway, Suzuka is stunning.

    On the hunt for Suzuka Grey A3

    No mines isn't for sale unfortunately. Nice colour when clean, also it has only been available since Q4 2011 so there mightn't be many about.
