AudiA6BiTDIC7

Hi everyone, Thank you for the various responses - much appreciated. I will post an update once I’ve picked it up and taken it for a spin. Will post jobs/prices etc. It’s had some Powerflex bushes also … as they were severely perished and the Audi/OEMs were on back order. Any recommendations on window tinting? I’ve been looking for some details on the factory tinting %s to have this replicated (as mine does not have this option). I drive in Europe quite a lot … so it’s for practical rather than aesthetic reasons TBH. Also found out that factory tinted glass vs aftermarket tinting stops virtually no heat/UV … Any advice appreciated!

Any advice/help much appreciated.

Hi everyone, First time post on here. Had been biding my time to pick up an A6 All Road BiTDI (C7) for some time. Wanted a 2015MY Refresh with low miles and standard wheels. Plus, the sport differential and a new enough MMI to get Apple Car Play retro. Picked it up today. No pan roof, folding mirrors, reversing camera or privacy glass though - which would have been nice (first world problems I know). Picked up a 2016 with only 44k miles, one owner and low mileage over last couple years, 2018 (14k), 2019 (17k), 2020 (23k), 2021 (31k), 2022 (33k), 2023 (40k), 2024 (44k). No advisories for any MOT on record. FASH until 2018 then a couple of independents and not much else (obviously not great given the various recommendations on here and elsewhere). The car is great and will be a keeper, so I am going to look after it. In that vein, my plan is to get a great independent specialist near by to give it a full service and additional maintenance items including (all with genuine Audi parts - prices just FYI) and then drop back onto normal service/maintenance (with some additional oil/gearbox filter/oil changes/services): Brake fluid £60 Wheel alignment £90 Glow plugs £271 Sports diff oil change/service (including 4*4) £196 Gearbox oil change/service £650 Major service (including all filters etc etc) £350 On top of this: (1) Reversing camera (through Autologics) (2) SD card Apple Car Play retro install (3) Privacy Glass (subtle obs) (4) Valet and ceramic coating I was just wondering if there is anything I should also think about getting done from a service/maintenance point of view when getting all the above done, to prevent future potential problems. Will obviously consider anything that comes up in the health check as well. Any non-essential luxuries I could also consider? I did chat with Audi who said the gearbox was sealed for life 100k/10 years. But it’s basically BS and will eventually go. Hence getting the gearbox oil/change service. Really appreciate any advice from your collective experience. Cheers.
