Ya I’m thinking the same, thx for your advice, much appreciated.

I’m new to Wheel spacers so looking for some advice. I have 19” Audi OEM Alloy Wheels - 10 spoke 8.5”x 19” ET43 fitted to my 2014 A6 C7 Allroad and thinking about fitting spacers front and rear. From the research I’ve done so far I’m thinking 15mm front and 20mm rear. The recommendation I’ve had is to go with hubcentric spacers. My question is on the wheel studs, I’m fairly sure that I would need to change existing to longer ones - existing + spacer width? From experience does anyone have a recommendation on spacer brand, size and stud length? Appreciate any advice, cheers.

Great cars, the key is servicing with the recommended oil. If that’s done you shouldn’t have any major issues like timing chain. My A6 C7 Allroad 245hp is on 185,000 miles with no major issues. I bought it at 165k with full service history including gearbox service. I change the oil at +/- 5000 miles. If it doesn’t have gearbox service record then get it done immediately.

Wondering if you bought the car? I have the 2014 A6 C7 Allroad 245hp. Currently on 185,000miles. It’s the best car I’ve owned. Service it regularly, including transmission at 60k, using the recommended oil and you shouldn’t have any problems. I’ve had very few issues with mine apart from the usual wear and tear items like wheel bearings, CV joints. Replaced both rear airbags, £150 ea on eBay, no major issues. I bought mine 3yrs ago with full Audi service history and have it serviced every +/- 5000 miles. Passes MOT each year with no issues. I would definitely buy a newer one however it’s hard for me to justify as only use it 6 months per year.

Is your fuel gauge working ok? Gauge needs to show at least 1/4 tank or DPF wont trigger. My gauge had an intermittant fault resulting in no DPF regen and car going into limp mode. I replaced the fuel gauge sensor and DPF immediately started.
