    Reducing wheel size while fitting winter tyres

    Thanks all, I've found a calculator online that tells me a 17 inch rim with 45 profile tyre will give the same rolling circumference as my current R19 35 profile. There are very few winter tyres with a 255 width in that rim and profile so I would have to go down to 245. So, I need to work out...

    Reducing wheel size while fitting winter tyres

    Yep, that's the plan. But would 19 down to 17 be too big a step? My old C5 A6 on 17 inch rims seemed to handle just as well as this C6 but was much less crashy. It was a quattro sport and my 3.0 Le Mans presumably is the same general quattro sport idea. So I'm wondering if putting 17 inch...

    Reducing wheel size while fitting winter tyres

    Hey all, I've been enjoying my 2009 3.0 Le Mans for 3 years now. The only thing I don't love about it is the crashy ride on rough country roads where I live. It's great on good tarmac. So, I have been toying for a while with going down from 19inch to either 18 or 17 wheels. My C5 Sport was...

    Dog mesh from parcel shelf??

    OK, many thanks. Had a look at it seems a lot denser than the earlier one. So harder to see through? also, shape would suggest our mad terrier would easily get round the outer ends!! may go for a metal one. Travall ones look good. I have one of their boot floor protectors and they are very...

    Dog mesh from parcel shelf??

    Hi all, my old C5 had a built in mesh barrier but my new (to me) C6 doesn’t have that!! can it be purchased separately? Do you have to replace the whole unit for one with a mesh built in or does it fit in the small space just ahead of the boot cover roller mech? cheers, Al

    Audi A6 C6 - could lost key be in the car?

    Thanks. Key has turned up. I rang main dealer there. £160 for emergency key and £260 for full Monte. Not as much as I thought so I'm just going to get a full second key. Cheers, Al.

    Audi A6 C6 - could lost key be in the car?

    So, this is a Jan 2009 Le Man 3.0 TDI A6. I bought it with only one key and that key has disappeared. Having pulled the house apart, the only place I can think it might be is in the car somewhere. The car is locked but I have looked inside as much as I can and can't actually see anything so it...

    Replacement Xenon headlight bulbs for 2009 A6

    Hey all, Anyone recommend a good source for replacement bulbs? One of my bulbs has gone so will replace both. Coming up @ £110 per side from Eurocarparts for a Philips option but I see loads of alternatives out there. Car is a 2009 A6 3.0 Quattro Le Mans. Well filled engine bay so bulbs are...
