Thank you so much for your reply, it’s looking like it’s leaking from behind the radiator, I had a bit of a better look yesterday. I guess I’ll have to prepare myself for an expensive bill 😥

Good Evening Steve, Thanks for the reply, it’s a 2014 3.0tdi but does not run Adblue. I tried checking with the engine running, it looks like there is coolant pooling at the bottom of the front of the engine, I tried to take some pictures earlier but they aren’t great quality. Thanks again, Paul

Good Evening all, I’ve been having a bit of an issue with the coolant level on my avant for a week or so now, I’ve noticed white residue around the expansion tank itself. Is this quite a common thing to go wrong? The car has done 132k miles, just thinking to replace this before getting it serviced to reduce costs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Hi Riflo, What a diamond. Thanks Paul

Hi riflo, The VIN is WAUZZZ4G2EN077159. Many Thanks, Paul

Afternoon everyone, I’ve had an intermittent left turn signal fault show up on my 2014 Avant for a couple of weeks now. At first I thought it could be a faulty contact or damp inside the light cluster. On closer inspection, one of the LED’s for the indicator is not working. Could anyone assist with a genuine part number please? I had a look on the underside and it seems to A046318 but that shows up Mercedes parts on EBay. Thank you for any help, it is much appreciated. Paul.

Thanks Stevey, much appreciated. I’ll have to see how this repair goes and go from there. Do you have any idea when the DPF becomes a problem or is it one of these things that could happen at any time?

Thanks for your reply Steve, yeah it’s a 3.0 tdi, it’s been a great car as I mentioned, this is probably the major outlay in cost, in all honesty, apart from the consumables. I am just slightly concerned at what could be next. Hopefully it will be ok for the time being.

Morning Gents, I was out on the weekend when the car lost all power, showing alternator fault, before losing all systems. In the garage, got a call quoting £850. The main question I have really at the minute, for anyone with a similar car with similar is are there many more expensive issues to come? Or should this be the turning point to start looking for another car? The car has been great, still in great condition, 123k miles, but I’m just concerned at having many more expensive issues on the horizon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Paul

Did you manage to get this resolved Frank? I had the same problem,the solenoid had seized up in the closed position

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

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

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

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

Thanks Steve mate, that’s excellent. Thanks for your help.Have a nice weekend.👍🏻
