Hi again john it looks like it has had the recall- I think the 23x6 attached is the nox recall Anything that can still be done ? Debating a chip or remap as apparently the less aggressive ones can improve mpg quite considerably, whilst giving a bit more power for the rare time that you need it.... oh and magnet; you’ll just about see at the top of the pic that the air filter was changed in sept 2019.

As a rough guide, the offset should be within 5mm of the original. Beyond that and one is changing the steering geometry, but I have no idea whether you would feel that through the power-assisted steering. I have moved from a set of 20" to set a set of 17" Audi wheels - in other words an extra 1.38 inches (up from 3.5" to 4.88") of tyre sidewall. I feel that the smaller tyres give a lesser thump when traversing potholes, beside being less vulnerable to kerbing. The improvement may be greater on your Allroad with air suspension. The wheel/tyre combo was purchased from eBay seller "germanwheelsdirect" in Northern Ireland. The 20" wheels look fantastic (and are great for the showroom guys), but I am sure the Audi engineers intended the A6 to ride on 17" or 18" wheels.

Hi Tim, Does your car have the "post-Dieselgate" emissions update? This might account for some of the variance in mpg. I will drive from London to Sheffield over the weekend and will report back on the fuel consumption. I expect to get around 35 mpg.. Regards, John
