    allroad C5 radio reception problem

    I have an allroad, 2004, with RNS-E DVD Sat Nav. Recently the radio reception became poor. We changed the main aerial on the roof as the electronics were full of water. It was a little better. We've now changed the diversity aerial as well. What happens is you are listening, it goes fuzzy...

    A6 4.2 Quattro on LPG?

    I have a 2004 4.2 allroad. I'd love to get 21mpg out of it. Mine does 15-16 around town and 19 on a run at 90-95mph or 23 at 70-75mph. I know as a write down every drop of fuel that goes through it and have 15000 miles or records. Would I have another one? You bet, it's a V8 and you forgive...

    A6 2.7T - difference between 230 and 250 bhp versions

    Not sure of the answer to the differences, but some years back I had a 2001 2.7T, listed from the factory as a 230 car. When we put it on a rolling road it was running 250 and I knew the owner who had had it from new and he had never had anything done to it. We then had it remapped and it...

    allroad suspension high at front

    My allroad, 2004 4.2, has a suspension issue which I can not find referenced in any existing topic. Sometimes (1-2 times per week) it decides to lower itself overnight at the back, or the front, never just one side or one corner, but randomly at one end or the other. It gets parked facing...

    Allroad - Intermittent Dynamic Headlight failure and self levelling suspension error

    Can't remember which side is involved, but the suspension level sensor on one side of the car is one of the sensors for the headlamp levelling, if it plays up you get both problems.

    Help Fitting DAB to RNS-E

    I have a 2004 allroad. It has RNS-E, TV, OEM Bluetooth conversion and CD changer. I have bought a Pure Highway which transmits DAB through FM. Once I had an external aerial fitted, it is brilliant...unless you live in London, then there are no free frequencies on FM and it is useless. So...

    Help please, RNS-E Bluetooth upgrade

    I have finally got my car to a machine. The RNS-E is 4B0035192P, H44 hardware and 0550 software. The coding of the unit is 509218. The Bluetooth unit is 8P0862335Q, H26 hardware and 0350 software, coding 11802. If anyone can shed any light on what I have done wrong, I would be most grateful.

    allroad C5 Rain and Light Sensor

    Hello. Anyone know if this is sensibly possible? I am in the UK and can't see that Audi ever offered it, but was it offered somewhere else and could it be retrofitted?

    Help please, RNS-E Bluetooth upgrade

    Thanks. Part Numberr is 8P0062335Q, Software on RNS-E is 0550, I need to get to a machine to find out the coding. The phone works with another friends Audi S4 B7 properly if that helps rule out the phone.

    Help please, RNS-E Bluetooth upgrade

    Hello. I have an allroad C5 which came with RNS-E from the factory. I have installed an OEM Bluetooth module and have it working fine. The only thing I can not get it to do is to upload all the phone numbers from my Nokia 6300 and display them on the screen, as it would do in an A3 or an A4...

    New Q7

    Hi Nicks3, No idea how to tell the difference when looking at the car. But there is a CO2 difference on the registration document - the 233PS car is 279 g/Km and the 240PS car is 260 g/Km. I have driven both and couldn't tell them apart.

    2006 a8 3.0tdi co2 road tax

    I believe that your logbook is correct and something has been done so the CO2 has come down for 2008.

    RNS-E SD Cards

    Thanks for the thought Isaac. I have checked it and it is FAT32. Really appreciate any other ideas as I am out of good ones apart from buying another slow card and hoping.

    allroad 4.2

    Just got an allroad 4.2 for my wife. Wow,what a great sound. Just going to have to go everywhere at full chat with the windows down. Solar sunroof as well - first impressions are that it really does help. No faster really than the old A6 Avant 2.7T that she had, just even more kit, newer and...

    RNS-E SD Cards

    Hello. Spent 3 days searching the forums for this one. I have RNS-E in a 2004 allroad. I have a sandisk 512MB card which works fine. I also have a 2GB Sandisk Extreme 3 Card which won't work. Both have been formatted on the same PC, with the same tracks added to them. Both cards work in my...

    RS6 driven!

    Driven the new RS6 about 1500 miles now, having done 20000 in the old ones. Drive it mattysupra, you WILL change your mind. The gearbox is stunning - quick shifting and smooth. Sounds like an S-Tronic changing up, doesn't mix itself up and kick you in the back. The car is properly quick...

    A6 2.7 Biturbo Quattro Avant

    I have only done a remap with AMD, but they were excellent and the car is transformed. It is Automatic and the transmission is not bullet proof, but it seems happy enough with this. The car is now 307bhp and 300 lb ft torque and beats most stuff when asked - especially mid range. Might go for...

    Auto/Tipronic Gearbox

    So, let's get this straight, you have asked them to take money from you and they have said no? Wow that's an interesting business model! I know it is not in the service schedule, but it really has made a difference to the 4 cars I know that have had it done.

    A6 2.7T engine chipping

    My 2001Y 2.7T Tiptronic is AMD remapped to 307bhp, and I'm very pleased with it and them. I've had a couple of problems with the car, almost certainly not a result of the remap, and they were really helpful, always willing to talk on the phone or to have a look if I whizzed it up to them. I...
