I've got the 2l tdi ultra and my long memory mpg figure is 39.4mpg and I don't do much round town driving, I too don't think it's particularly economic and had expected at least late 40s early 50s its worse than my old 3l v6 jag xf

Had this a month now though only actually driven it for 2 weeks of that month, adblue issue is still there but I'm taking it in for diagnostic test on Wednesday and then it's a warranty job from there, unless the garage say no then it will be a drive back to the dealership to park it in their office and walk away from it

I'm getting it done through warranty this time, if and when it happens again I'll be going down that road of getting rid of the adblue, might even delete the dpf and egr whilst I'm at it

I picked up my 2014 a6 avant 3 weeks ago, took it back 2 weeks ago as start stop, auto release handbrake and parking sensors were up the spout, on way home the adblue p20e8 fault popped up so I refilled it with just over 5L tried the reset which worked for about 30 seconds then got the same message pop up, but it also bought on the engine management light too. Apparently there's nothing wrong with it and I picked it up yesterday with them saying all the faults had been sorted to go back out an hour after getting home to have the 650m message pop up yet again. Also on a side note I was going through the menu's to find out how to change the clock time and found the engine oil level menu with it saying please reduce the level.... now just before I picked it up it Apparently had a service, should I just hand the car back as a lemon or should I persevere? I'm starting to get the feeling that I've been sold a dud car as it wasn't as described in the ad

I will find out Friday when I take it in, im going to guess they'll have done it by their in house workshop

Hi mate I accepted it in current state as I'd already changed the insurance over from the old car to the new and the jag really was on its last legs, the adblu and the front park sensors only went south on the day of pick up the other stuff I'd been told had been rectified prior to pick up but on checking only 1 of the 3 presale issues had been resolved, the dealership have been very good though so far and I'm taking it back to them this coming Friday for everything to be resolved otherwise I'll be walking away from the deal and buying something else (though probably not from them) As an aside the recall was for a heating element though I didn't get placement of said heating element from the main dealers when I rang this morning

Sound advice, well there's a few things that aren't right with the car which I was assured last weekend when I viewed the car would be sorted before I picked it up which haven't been, also I don't have the current mot paperwork nor any kind of service history and also the cam belt and water pump have apparently been replaced yet I don't have any paperwork to support this so these are just things I need to query with the seller as I'd have thought they should have been present in the pack

The selling company will be the first port of call, I'll be telling them the issues i have with the car and giving them the opportunity to rectify it otherwise I'll be handing them the car back and walking away from it

It was bought from a 2nd hand dealers, I have already messaged the selling dealers though not heard anything back from them just yet, I'll be calling them tomorrow morning along with teesside audi for the outstanding recall which I'm hoping is about the adblu issue I've got

So picked up the car yesterday drove home and halfway home got the 650mi till no start warning. Refilled the adblu with fresh, plugged my handheld scanner in and its coming up with P20E8 and P20E8 P codes both relating to adblu issues. Now does anyone on here know how to get rid of this issue? Rich

Well I've got to call them tomorrow to speak with the service department as they are closed today so I'll be doing that in the morning

Hopefully its an easy fix for you and can be done while you wait, I'm going to call audi now

Yeah I shall do, I hope the issue with yours is easily sorted too

I'd have said 12.8 with the engine running was abit low id be looking for low 14s raising slightly when load is applied

I have got a 3 month warranty with the selling company so at least that's something

Yeah I will do

Yeah considering one of the salesmen was the last keeper.... apparently but he didn't know about the issues I'd flagged up so unsure if they are trying to pull the wool or not but I've gone in with my eyes firmly open

Thanks Lauren 😊 Honestly I don't know, hopefully its nothing serious otherwise I'll be doing my ends with the selling company

It's a 2014 plate, had a jag xf 3.0d before this but as we're expecting a 2nd within the next month or so I needed something with a bigger boot and this seemed perfect

I picked mine up today and I too have a few niggles that need sorting, then I do a check and find out there's a recall outstanding... I'll definitely be on the case tomorrow to find out why I wasn't pre informed

I guess it's plausible that a sensor might just go awol but I'd say it sounds abit like clutching at straws, nowadays without the car being on a diagnostic device nobody has a clue because everything seems to talk to everything else and if something doesn't send the relevant information at the relevant time then it they get scared. I'd say get codes read and go from there, you've nothing to lose from doing that

Well its got an outstanding recall so I'll be going in to the local audi stealers to get it sorted

Well im very happy to say that I've just picked up this beauty. 2L tdi a6 avant. Have to say my first thoughts on it are its a very nice relaxed atmosphere inside while wafting down the motorway, the steering seems precise but it doesn't dart around the road. The 2L tdi pulls well at pretty well any revs and speed and it didn't take much to get 40mpg with some effort id guess I'd be able to achieve 55+ The paintwork has a fair few swirl marks and scratches on it but nothing a good polish won't make good, inside the right seat bolster on the rear seat has abit of a tear in it but it's getting sorted soon and the front parking sensors aren't working along with the start stop. The think I like most I think are the wheels they really do set the car off well, it has a Maxton bootlid spoiler and in the future I'd like to get a front and rear splitter for it. Rich
