niedzial1983 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Ive owned my a6 for 3 years and i thought i will document here all mods/fixes/problems/etc on one thread. I have lots to put on here so it will take some time but please comment/ask and advise if you know anything that i dont :) The car is great!!! Audi only made 1000 of 3.0tdi lemans and as far as i know there are around 200 left ... they produced 15 in late 2006 so there is a chance mine is one of the first ever made :) https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.autoblog.com/amp/2006/07/19/audi-commemorates-r10-tdi-win-with-a6-le-mans-edition/ It has 122k on the clock now and runs like new. It has full sline spec + le mans , ambient light, bose, storage pack, 19" lemans wheels, sport suspention, and its finished in daytona grey pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 One of the first job i wanted to do is to tide up rusty brake callipers and hub. I've spend hours cleaning them up with wire brush. then i have sanded them down with 80 and 400 grit paper. gave them a good wash with degreaser and a paint prep wipes. The key is to mask them well so there is less mess after painting. 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of red and 3 coats of clear lacquer. few months after i have changed discs as they failed MOT for Pagid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 next one on the list was the pollen filter. Easy enough job. Mine was in a terrible state so i have ordered a replacement( there are 2 filters ), i went for carbon air filters as they remove dust, pollen and other contaminants from the air, but they also adsorb exhaust fumes and unpleasant odours Oem part no 4F0819439C Here is how ...

Southampton Graham Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I did just think about using some rotary wire brushes. Does the engine enamel take the heat produced by the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan3222 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hey Piotr, Hope your well. does the S-line sticker cover the whole surface of the control knob? Mine has started pealing the black rubber paint. I think I prefer the look of the sticker though any way. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
