Just as an update. I booked car in for battery to be replaced. Garage said the voltages were all over the place and to go to an auto-electrics specialist. In meantime, went on a 400 mile journey and car seemed much better by end of it (typical). Took it into auto-electric place - they said...

Car was serviced literally a month ago with fuel cleaner, fuel filter etc all done. Which is why it is so odd. S-tronic gearbox oil changed 12,000 miles ago. Will see if change of battery makes a difference and will report back.

The original battery was replaced under warranty by the previous owner. To do with a recall I think? Current battery is nearly 4 years old - but also covered 60,000 miles on it. I think i’m close to discounting an issue with the alternator as start-stop works absolutely fine. Just a nice £250...

Thanks for the reply. I connected my car up to Carista. Voltage only showing 11.4V before starting engine. When engine turned on it does eventually get to 14.7V, but once battery gets to 75% full the voltage drops to 13.2V and that’s when the car starts to perform really badly. Also had a low...

Hi all, Been a long time since i’ve posted here which is a good sign! My Audi A6 Avant with the 190bhp 2.0 TDI Ultra engine has got to 92k miles no problems at all. Took it into my local audi specialist a couple of weeks ago for a major service, new brake discs / pads and new front tyres...

For anybody interested this turned into a SAGA with a unhappy ending. As there has been no resolution and given the treatment, I am now in a position to name and shame. After initially emailing Audi UK, they advised I visit my local parts department at my nearest Audi dealer which happens to...

Hi, My driver side mirror just fell off 10 seconds after closing the door at Heathrow last Wednesday. My vehicle is Apr 2017 model. I'm gobsmacked that such a pathetic failure on a £40k+ car that is only 5 years old can happen. Going to email Audi UK and try and get a free replacement...

Hi all, Car is on 63,000 miles and is just about turning 5 years old, so thinking it is time to get cambelt and waterpump changed. Just called my local Audi garage (Bristol) for a quote and they are saying £914 inc VAT + free MOT for life. Feels massively excessive?! I wondered what other...

Hi all, Got a bit of a nightmare situation with my car. It is sat under a tree which some ravens etc have decided to take residence in this spring. After only a week since cleaning the entire car is coated in bird poo and i’m finding it really difficult to remove. Does anybody have any useful...

Hi all, i’ve had my C7.5 for about 6 months now with no issues. However, for the past week or two - when making phone calls the recipient is hearing a lot of feedback and I am struggling to hear what they are saying with quite a lot of crackling noise. I did wash my car a couple of weeks ago...

I have two young kids (6&4). We had an A4 B8 Avant. Did plenty of holidays with them even when they were little. However, if your budget can stretch I’d go A6 Avant all day long. It doesn’t feel that much bigger than the A4 tbh.

Heated seats are as good as my previous A4 B8.5 - as above put on setting 3 to start and they will automatically go down to 2 after a while. Then put on 1 if you just want a bit of warmth.

Thanks all. No mods planned I’m afraid. Just popped the private plate on, that’s all.

Hi all, Just sold this: - Now the proud owner of this: - 2017 Audi A6 Avant S-Line. 2.0 TDI Ultra 190bhp S-Tronic. With Black Edition styling pack. Just awaiting V5 to put private plate on. A lovely vehicle. The A4 was already refined, but this is on a different level. I love the...

The cambelt change at 140k - is that really the case? I know on my B8.5 A4, the official advice is generally ignored and most people advise replacing the cambelt and water pump at 60-75k. Is this the same for the C7?

Thanks for the reply. Shame - a quick google suggests it is pricey! Are there any aftermarket mods available to put CarPlay on the system?

Hi, Sorry I’m unsure. It will be whatever came as standard on the S Line model of that year with the smaller pop out screen.

Hi, Ive been offered a good deal to buy my father in law’s 2017 A6 Avant S Line. The only negative I can see is that the MMI system is the same as my A4 B8.5, which whilst it does the job is looking increasingly dated. I’ve done a bit of a google as it seems MY16 models onward were offered...
