Well after 20 years of VAG cars I’m saying bye bye and getting an a new E Class Merc next week. I’ve loved my A6, had it 4 years and 37k from new. No real issues except the odd niggle (creaky dashboard, I’m looking at you🤭). I seriously thought about keeping it longer, but 4 years is the longest I’ve ever had a car and I got an itch to get something newer. Hopefully I won’t regret it. Thanks for all the help here, and I may well be back in the future 😊👍👍

I’d be very surprised if the above problem is also the same given the ‘general’ error message displayed. This appears to be a common problem and a many reported users have found that if you hold the SOS Call button until it calls and then terminate the call, it can clear the error. I would certainly try that before booking in for a costly diagnostic.

It’s a very well known issue. Just Google dash rattle A6 C8. I get it intermittently, certain temperatures / road surfaces tend to trigger it more. Currently it’s gone again.

I think the problem trying to find them as second hand is that very few buyers of a standard A6 will upgrade to 21” wheels. Most will go with the ‘pack’ such as the S-Line or Black Edition which are 19” / 20” as standard. Buyers looking for something better are usually already looking at S6 / RS6.

Are they UK spec for the A6? Can’t remember seeing these as standard.

Have you another iPhone in the family? Would be worth trying to set up from another device.

Phone apps folder is normal. Obviously it should open the car play when you access it. The question I asked earlier was whether your account was correct in your settings on your iPhone? settings —> General —> CarPlay. You could try deleting / resetting it from there.

Might be different problem then, but worth a go as it fixes the glitches Ive had. Does your car show in the CarPlay app in your phone settings?

Do a hard reset. Hold the round on / off dial for 15-30 seconds (until it restarts). CarPlay often does this - black screen / nothing showing.

The service may well have been within or near its normal schedule parameters. Difficult to tell without more information. I had a VW Passat Alltrack on lease and did 21k over 23 months without servicing on a long life schedule. It was sent back still not requiring a service. How long between the services?

Which engine?

For comparison, I have a 2021 2.0 40tsi petrol. Currently on a smidge over 30k miles. Besides one oil change at 20k I’ve never had to top up and it doesnt use oil according to the electonic oil level check.

I’m exactly the same, everything run through CarPlay, and only Google Maps and Waze. The Audi nav is a bit crap. I got the tech pack mainly for the larger central screen, especially as it would be running the navigation. Doesn’t bother me its not on the dashboard. I have that set up displaying the radio / tunes im playing.
