You will not regret it. Once over the viaduct you can pull off the Autoroute and go to the viewing area where there are toilets ect.

Hi Trevor Didn't realise that you were on two wheels. Tony

Hi Driven down to Spain many times. On and off motorways. If you are thinking of stopping on The Costa Brava Hotel Alga in Callela de Parafugell is OK. It's 3 star trying very hard to be four. Nice gardens 5 minute stroll to the beach. C de P is very chic. Return journey must be made on the Autoroute so that you cross the Millau viaduct. It is a cable stay bridge designed by Norman Foster. The motorway deck is 1000ft high. The view is really rather good. Bon Voyage Tony

Hi Karl When I got my A6 I spent many an hour sitting in the car on the driveway pressing buttons etc. I have a system now for starting from cold. Foot off brake. Press start button (warms up heaters) Put on seat belt. Foot on brake. Press button, engine starts. I have only just managed to download something into the juke box and I have had it nearly a year. Tony

Hi I thought the stop/start function was run using a large capacitor, which is recharged via the alternator using engine power. I didn't think the battery was involved in this function. This is why the stop/start seems to be random because it relies on the charge in the capacitor not the battery. Perhaps the capacitor should be looked at. Tony

Hi Daz I am a bit boring really. My A6 is a Black Edition, so it comes with most of the goodies, fat 20" wheels, BOSE surround sound, no brightwork and the tech pack. It is in Pearlescent Daytona Grey, so I have changed all the badges to black. That really does look good. My wife uses a mobility scooter (not modified at the moment) so I have had a hoist put in the luggage compartment to lift it in. The scooter weighs 60kgs so it does lower the rear end a bit, which I think looks great. It's locked up in the garage at the moment with minimal fuel. Can't be bother to join the queues with the no brainers. Tony

Hi Daz I have the same car, really happy with it. Takes some time to sort out the tech. Tony

If it's the one on the top right hand of the steering wheel buttons, that is the voice command button. Just a tip. If you switch on the ignition and alter something on the system. e.g. folding door mirrors, screen set up, lighting ect. It will only recognise those settings with the key you used. I had to used my spare key last week and it was like getting into another car.

Hi Neil I have the exact same car as you in Daytona Grey, albeit an Avant. I have had mine since January and still find things I didn't know about. If it doesn't go Brmm,Brmm after pressing the the start button it's no good lifting the bonnet as far as I am concerned. But on saying that a beautiful car runs well and economical too. The only thing I have done to mine is to change all the badges to black, as they should be on a Black Edition Audi. We had a good meeting recently at Beaulieu Motor Museum, but haven't had to buy any parts yet. Tony

Hi Yes it was good to meet. Hope you get your car sorted Steve. Tony

What time would you suggest? I don't think we can get in until 09.30, so perhaps we should aim at 08.30 ish to meet.

That does seem a better bet. If we are too far away we very well may get split up again on the journey.

I can make it to either location.

I am retired, but I have a part time job of delivering and collecting new cars for a multi-franchise car group. I travel all over Great Britain and Ireland. My hobbies are playing golf twice a week, and I have a fairly large model railway.

That's my worry. That I might do something to the system that can only be rectified by an expensive visit to Audi

Thanks for the info. Will check out the website.

Thanks for the replies. At £300 I think I will rely on Waze on my phone if I get lost

Hi. Sally Sat Nav is working fine although it could do with an upgrade. I have read that it runs with a SD card. Both my SD card slots are empty! If that is the case, how is it working? Is there another slot hidden away somewhere only known to Audi so that they can charge mega bucks for an upgrade? Tony

You have certainly done your homework. Best of luck in finding one.

Hi Am I being a bit dim and looking at the wrong part. But GSF/Europarts have got clutch kits from LUK for £120. Albeit out of stock at the moment. Tony

Got my tickets.

Hi Mark Welcome. Good choice of car, if you are buying an Audi A6 it has to be a Black Edition. I changed all the badges to black on mine. Looks good. Tony

Hi Seemed to have developed a slightly worrying noise from the near front wheel area. When reversing and applying the brakes for the first time a noise occurs as if something is moving or repositioning. Only happens once when reversing and doesn't seem to happen when moving forward again. Would like to get this investigated as the warranty runs out in a month. Any ideas Tony

Hi Steve The Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel is very good. Very powerful but wouldn't win a GP. Very spacious and on long journeys is a good comfortable drive. The e-Tron I think is a whole different ball game. But electric does give you the sense of power. The Renault Zoe 0-30 has the same torque as a Porsche 911 with no gear changes.

Hi Steve I have a part time job of delivering new cars. I travel all over. I had to deliver a Renault Zoe to South Wales, which you cannot do without a recharge. I got as far as Membury Services with 50 miles left in the battery. Electric charge stations " out of order" Had to get the Zoe trailed to the next Services. Only could get a 45 minute charge there because of faults in the system. Just made it to the customer, who then complained that I had run the battery nearly out. The infrastructure just isn't there yet. Even the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which is advertised as doing over 100 mpg, I have never got more than 40 mpg driving to Scotland. Tony
