  1. Did you manage to get this resolved Frank? I had the same problem,the solenoid had seized up in the closed position
  2. Afternoon Everyone, I'm having a problem with the drivers side mirror on my A6 Avant, the mirror glass is lifting from the mount,which is apparently a common problem.I just wondered if anyone could help with a part number, and whether this is something that would be easy to rectify myself? Only I had the same problem with the passenger side, but I went to Audi,who supplied and fitted,but I’m not looking to do that this time. Many Thanks, Paul
  3. Thanks for your help Steve, I bought a replacement fuel tank housing from eBay and had to swap the body coloured flap over, but it’s all sorted now. Didn’t really take too long either, which was a bit of a bonus, second time around. Many Thanks Paul
  4. Hello Steve, Thanks for your help,really appreciate it mate.I’ve ended up buying a fuel filler cap housing, complete with the rubber that I’d split.Hopefully the coloured flap is easy enough to remove and swap for the colour I have already. Fingers crossed, but thanks again, Paul
  5. Morning everyone, and thanks for your help and information with this.I managed to swap the solenoid over which now works fine.The only problem I had whilst changing this over is that I split the rubber seal of the fuel tank inlet whilst removing the housing.Is this something you would bother replacing as well as I cannot repair it? I was looking at eBay for replacements, but most of these are located in Eastern Europe. Many Thanks Paul
  6. Thanks Steve mate, that’s excellent. Thanks for your help.Have a nice weekend.👍🏻
  7. Thanks Steve, is it any particular part number? I’ve been looking at eBay today, would probably just swap it over if I went to the time to take it apart, just not sure what part to buy. Thanks, Paul
  8. Hi Gareth, Thanks for your reply,is the solenoid quite easy to access? Thanks Paul
  9. Morning guys, I’ve had a bit of a problem getting the fuel cap door open on my A6 C7 Avant. I had to prise it open to fill as I had to pick my Mum up from hospital.Any ideas on how to fix or replace the solenoid please? I’ve tried WD40 but it hasn’t done anything to help. Many Thanks Paul
  10. Thanks Gareth, sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of reassurance. It’s a fantastic car, and I enjoy driving it.It’s definitely the best car I’ve had so far.
  11. Thanks a lot gents.I find myself going from thinking that there’s at least another 100,000 miles in the car to wondering if I’m racking the mileage up.Most of the time the engine is hardly working, and the fuel consumption is pretty good for the engine size.But then I guess you buy cars like that to drive,not just to keep outside.The problem I had when looking for Avant’s was trying to find one that had everything I wanted that wasn’t hundreds of miles away from where I lived with low mileage
  12. Evening guys/girls, I just wanted to ask you all for a bit of an opinion really,I’ve got an A6 Avant S-Line, 63 plate.Should I be concerned about the mileage nearing 90k? Obviously due to Covid I’ve been using the car a lot more to commute to work during the lockdowns etc. I still love the car immensely, like the amount of power and the extras it has, but I know people turn their noses up at vehicles with high mileage when selling.Just wanted to gauge your opinions if possible please? Many Thanks Paul
  13. Afternoon all, I got home yesterday to find the drivers side door lock cover loose on my A6 C7.I phoned Audi to see if you can order a painted replacement from them, but you can’t. They only sell primer ones, and you would have to get it painted yourself. I just wondered if anyone on here had any links to any parts websites that they could share? Many Thanks Paul
  14. Sorry for the really late reply.It seems that this is a well known problem with the A6.I went to Harold Wood Audi and the guy there said the bonding on the back of the mirror itself has deteriorated due to the mirror heating. I had to buy a new mirror glass and had them fit it for me. Hope this helps
  15. Evening all, I just wondered if anyone has had a diamond cut alloy refurbished more than once. Caught a kerb the other day and scuffed my front near side alloy quite badly.I had this rim refurbished last year, but I’ve heard that you can only have them refurbished a couple of times. Many thanks for your help.
