Royle_A6_Hearse Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi all, Thought I'd join the forum and say hello. I've had my 2007 Audi A6 Le Man's 3.0 Tdi Avant since April and covered 6k with only one major niggle which is a common fault, the main camshaft pulley had bust. Luckily this was when id started the engine so wasn't driving along. Apart from that I've done a full discs and pads replaced with Brembos and gave the calipers a touch up Hoping to maybe get some ideas and help towards any potential faults I may encounter in the future. Clocks are now on 127k and hoping to do big mileage. Do alot of the oil and filter changes myself to keep everything good Anyway I'll not blab on Cheers Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is big mileage Steve. 👍 Does that include doing any gearbox oil and filter changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevey Y Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi its well documented all DSG boxes need regular oil and filter changes every two years or 30k, I doubt Steves car possesses any magical properties that others don't, good housekeeping is the key to a long life which I am certain he has observed. Even my manual gearbox gets its oil changed every 50k. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royle_A6_Hearse Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 Cheers for the reply. The Internet these days is full of dos and don't though. Just wanting to get the best info as this is the 1st german bus I've owned It's the tiptronic transmission in mine, which you get different variants for service intervals depending where you look. However I'm going to look into it being done in the next couple of month. The gear changes are very smooth and no slipping but best to be safe than sorry Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
