Hi all, Had my 50 TDi serviced recently and the dealer had a go at fixing the rattle from the passenger side. It's actually gotten worse since then and I just wondered if anyone has had it fixed completely and if so what was the confirmed cause? On a positive, they installed all of the MMI /...

What oil would you guys recommend for the 50 Tdi? I need to top up soon and thought I'd check on here. TIA

HNY everyone. Can someone please help me with a part number for the spare wheel & tyre for A6 C8 Avant - 50 Quattro? Or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

Time has come to trade in my trusty A6 C6 Special Edition Avant and have picked up a great deal on a C8 50 Quattro - can't wait to pick it up! I've done a quick (inconclusive) google but does anyone know if: a) my current roof bars will fit the C8 b) if my current winter wheels / tyres will...

In the last couple of days I've started to get a rattle from the timing belt area on start up. When warm, it seems to go away. Any idea what the cause will be? Is it a bearing / tensioner? Engine is a 2.0tdi Many thanks in advance. Mark

As title, I'm looking for a little help with a fault. My EML cam eon yesterday and the fault I've got is below (scanned using VCDS 16.8.4). A quick Google has come up with replacing the coolant pump, if so, does anyone know the part no? Also, how soon do I need to get it looked at / done...

Recently have been having problems with the AC and blowers - they have only been working intermittently. I've scanned using VCDS and the these are the results (below). I'm assuming it's a new control panel needed? Thanks in advance Mark Address 08: Auto HVAC Labels: 4F0-910-043.clb...

Car was at the local "stealers" today for the emissions recall. Haven't taken it for a long drive but the first thing I've noticed is that the suggested gear selection that appears in the DIS seems to be encouraging driving in a lower gear for longer. Will keep an eye but anyone else noticed...

A couple of months ago I retrofitted a DAB radio unit to my Avant, using the OEM aerial in the osr window and the DAB aerial amplifier. So far I have to say I'm disappointed as the DAB reception keeps dropping out. Does anyone know if there is a way of testing aerial strength at all? TIA

Hi guys, can someone please check a part no for me? Finally getting around to changing my radio for a DAB unit. I think that the unit I need is 4F0 035 061B but the ones I've seen on fleabay just have Radio Unit in the description without a mention of Dab so just want to check before buying...

Washing the car at the weekend and have found a number of stone chips on the bonnet, down to the aluminium. Has anyone used anything they can recommend? TIA Mark

i'm shortly going to upgrade my radio unit to DAB and have done a fair bit of reading on what needs to be done, part no's etc. The bit I'm worried about is soldering to the DAB aerial in the driver's side. Has anyone done it and can share their experience? Has anyone decided to go down an...

Can someone please remind me of the torque setting on the Avant, I think it's 120 but just want to check. Have changed the summers for winter :) Before After

My screen has developed a bit of a problem and wondered if anyone has come across the same thing. About 6 months ago I retrofitted a 3G HDD Nav from 3G Basic, which meant a new Nav unit, cable, screen and trim. Everything seems to have been ok until recently my screen has taken to doing some...

Had a 360 mile round trip today and had a first for me where the car cut out completely which was a bit startling to say the least. Firstly the story. So, after about 50 mins of driving I got an error on the DIS of "Electric Parking Brake Malfunction" and the car (I think) went into limp mode...

So, want your thoughts on servicing please. Recently had mine in for service (2.0 tdi Avant) and looking at the next service call, they've put me on a Flexible Service plan (I do appx 15-18k a year, 85% motorways). Should I be ok with this or should I be going down the fixed route? Interested...

Looking for a bit of help. Does anyone know how to remove the back panels from the front seats in a A6 Avant S Line? Also, what is the best power supply to use? is it safer to use the supply to the cigarette lighter or power to the lumber support? Any help appreciated, have trawled google...

I currently have "MMI Navigation" installed i.e. MMI 3G. I want to replace the 5F unit to the HDD version. I thought it would be a straight swap but looks like I need to a couple of other things - according to a local retrofit specialist who is happy to help but a bit on the steep side. The...

I recently updated my Nav Maps to 2014 and my maps are now on a SD card not a DVD. I cleared the SVM code using the online calculator but I still have one error code that I can't clear. Has anyone seen it before and know how to clear it? Address 5F: Information Electr...

I've been doing a bit of reading on the Maps front and think I've read this but would be grateful if someone could confirm. I've updated and activated my 3gMMI 2014 maps using various threads dotted around but am I right in thinking that I can use the 3GMMI HDD maps (i.e. 3D etc) if I use a...
