What mileage are A6’s doing on brakes pads before changing
Hi Ended up doing disc’s the pads front and rear’s on my A6 C8 last month as I didn’t want to be doing them over winter before the MOT in March. Managed the get genuine front discs for £200 the pair but had to get the rears from the dealer , replaced all the caliper bolts too, reused the wear sensors too as the front were just about to touch but hadn’t so bonus saving a few more bucks in the end saved about £1000 doing the myself and not the dealer below a pic of the front pads with wear sensor , in my opinion it wasn’t worth waiting a few more months and working in the cold weather

In the Audi’s workshop manual they specify max 2 mm wear on the discs , that’s only 1mm each side does seem a lot !

Audi A6c8 rear spring lower mounting corrosion
I didn’t need to do anything apart of removing the lower stock mount bolt and then use a bottle jack and a piece of tube over the bottle jack top to the stock top mount fitting bolt , using a pair of springs compresses to compress the spring evenly enough to pull out the rubber mount I’ve got to thank Spartacus for his write up . And mine s a Quattro too a

I’ve just taken out another All in service plan out 3 months ago just to give me peace of mind really , the last plan I claimed for both rear doors locks and also a brake servo restriction fault which would have cost me over £1000 if the dealership was charging me so in that respect the first service plan paid for itself really If urs is an auto the gearbox oil requires replacing @ 38k miles,

Hi Skiduk I’ve got the same A6 model, had it 3 years now and still love it , Ive used Derby Audi for servicing which has been under Audis All in service plan. My front brakes pad are down to 70% wear and Audi have just quoted me £1050 just for front discs and pads, I’m going to do them myself and have managed to get the parts for £350 . Rear spring mount rubber’s corroding was an mot advisory when the car was 4 years old, Audi quited me £320 each side for replacing them but did them myself rubber mount were £50 , Tyres Continental x4 £860 . My A6 has had 2 faults in the it’s 5 years which were both rear door locks playing up and they were replaced and a brake servo restriction fault ! That was a little pressure switch near the servo that monitors vacuum, both fault were repaired under the all in warranty . I don’t think it’s been bad at all personally Hope this helps mate

A6 c8 30L Quattro diesel
I had the brake servo restriction fault not long ago, if the codes the same as mine it’s the pressure sensor near the brake servo! mine was intermittent would go away after turning off and engine the back on ! what other people have said is if fault stays on the ABS pump then takes over braking and that it can get damaged if driven over long distances . By the looks of it in other forums it’s common fault across all Audi’s The pressure sensor is about £94 from Audi parts . Audi changed mine under the all in warranty. Hope this helps also mine seem to throw up the fault when stop start kicked in so I would switch it off straight away after starting the engine . Pressure Sensor 5Q0906207A

A6 Black Edition 40TDI 204 PS S tronic 2.0 Pre purchase help
Also check rear spring mount lower rubbers for corrosion as they is a aluminium plate inside that can start to corrode, it’s not a biggy but Audi Derby wanted £320 a side to change them ! They’re £20 each and it took me 2.5 hours to change both of them with pair of spring compressors but I’m handy with spanner’s on my driveway The A4 b9 forums will have much more detail on them as they are used on a few models. Mines a 2020 2l tfsi black edition too , I’ve paid £16 for the month and also updated the sat nav maps
