    Flat Battery - Amp Problem?

    Hi, For the last 2 days I've got up to find my car has a dead battery. The AA came out both times, jump started the car and tested the battery with the result being that the battery is fine. The only conclusion I can come to is that something is draining the battery overnight. The AA guy...

    DAB Retrofit Questions

    Hi All, I'm tempted to have a go at adding DAB to my car, it's always bugged me that it isn't there. I was wondering how I work out what unit I need, is it a straight swap out for one of the units in the boot? Do I need to add aerials as well? Details of my car:- 2010 A6 Avant Facelift MMI...

    Trim between doors

    I've got some paint peeling from the trim panel that is between the front and back doors of my A6, does anyone know how to remove this? It looks like the plastic at the bottom might pull off to reveal the attachment point, but I don't want to force it and damage something. Thanks. Sent...

    Door Card Light Problem

    I was driving up the motorway with my brother this evening and he pointed out that the lights in my door cards were flashing on and off, both doors were flashing together in sync so I'm thinking it's not an issue with the leds or bulbs (not sure which they are) but maybe wiring? I've tried to...

    Rear Armrest Cup Holders

    I've been looking into getting the rear cup holders for my A6 which appear to have been available as an option. Has anyone fitted these and is it just a swap of the plastic insert or would I need a whole new armrest? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Audi Side Assist - Phantom Vehicles!

    Hi, In the last couple of days my side assist has been played my up a bit, previous to this it has worked fine.

    Economy Increase?

    Bit of an odd question I know, but this is confusing me. I often drive from Birmingham to Hull, each time I usually get an average mpg of 37 ish. Today I did the same drive and averaged 45.5mpg, I didn't consciously do anything different, slightly concerned that half my engine might have...

    Brake Hose Replacement

    Hi, I'm planning to do some work on my brakes in January which will involve removing the calipers and sending them away to be refurbed. I'm thinking that I may as well upgrade the rubber hoses to steel braided ones at the same time. I was thinking of using bolts to plug the connectors once...

    Replacing Cornering light bulb

    Hi, I need to replace the nearside cornering bulb on my A6. I watched a few videos I found on how to get access to the headlight unit but turns out that my engine takes up a lot more space than the ones in the videos (3.0TDi).
