  1. Hi guys Noticed a sloshing noise the other day whilst driving around. Get out of the car, open the boot and a flood of water is dripping out of the plastic trim around the boot. I can't work out how it's getting in - it doesn't look like the seal around the window is broken and the lights don't seem to be loose or anything, but (aha moment) the inside rear lightbulb has blown recently. Any suggestions on how to work out where the !Removed! water is getting in?
  2. Hi all, I'm looking to connect my phone to play audio through my stereo on my A6. I've tried doing it via the stereo but can't get it to work so I wondered about getting an adapter. This sort of thing looks like it's cheap and nasty - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Receiver-Output-Speakers-Headphones/dp/B075FNW8GP/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1530345827&sr=8-5&keywords=bluetooth+to+usb+output+car So I'm wondering - would this work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Wireless-Interface-Receiver-Adapter/dp/B07D14XPLG/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530346508&sr=1-6&keywords=audi+a6+bluetooth+audio I don't have a 3.5mm audio jack so it'd need to go through USB...
  3. Thanks - what part would you say that was in the picture? Would that suggest possible large coil spring has snapped?
  4. No one has keys and there's no damage at all - even if they somehow hit the wheel I can't see how it wouldn't scratch or damage anywhere else on the car etc
  5. Very interesting point - it's a 2007 A6 - would it have? I've ordered a new battery as it's gone flat from a jumpstart - that's on its way now
  6. And here's the driver side tyre - at a completely different angle. The arch appears to have been damaged somehow and when I look under the arch at the top, I see part of the axle has popped out (I know very little about cars, apologies!) There is no sign of damage anywhere. Does anyone have any idea what could have happened here - and if this is going to be disastrously expensive as I'm imagining.
  7. I've been away for a couple of weeks and returned to a couple of things - a flat battery and a really worrying issue with my front wheels. Any idea on what on earth could have happened? Here's the passenger side front wheel - turned slightly into the curb (I didn't park it this way).
  8. Went to use my car last Saturday and it wouldn't start - haven't used it for a while so figured it was a dead battery, but just tried jumping it (admittedly from a very small car) and it's still acting exactly the same way. I recorded a video of it - I don't suppose you guys could tell from this footage could you? Any help (for a noob!) much appreciated. Video.MOV
  9. Hi guys - the bulb has gone on my A6 Avant rear taillight. I can't seem to find any guides on how to replace it - do I have to take the whole light out like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XEYAWx95L0 or is there an easier way to replace the bulb? If I have to take out the whole light is it easy to change the bulb when you have the light? The video above doesn't give any more information. Apologies for the newbie question
  10. Great - thanks. You think it's worth me buying that part in advance or taking it to a specialist first? ie. do you think there's a high chance this is the problem?
  11. Hi Steve - been trying to track down Audi Tuner but can't seem to get it. Did you mean Performance Audi magazine? Which issue was it?
  12. Steve, thanks so much, going to grab a copy of Audi Tuner today - and probably save myself a fortune with the repair kit. Yep - 3 litre tdi Thank you!
  13. Hi all - my engine warning light came on a while ago and it's been diagnosed as an "intake manifold runner fault (swirl flaps motor) possibly manifold" I'm going on holiday on Monday, driving hundreds of miles around the country. Would you say the car is safe to drive? What's the worst case scenario would you say? Apologies if this is a stupid question.
