Magic Mellows

Probably been covered a thousand times but I cant find the answer

'07 plate Le Mans 3.0 Tdi

Had a problem with automatic tailgate it used too click click click on opening and have trouble locking on close ...my garage replaced the latch with a genuine Audi part and now it only opens six inches and then shuts again, on the odd occasion that it opens fully when I press the close switch it SLAMS shut violently

it will work normally if I don't use the boot for a few days and reverts to this problem very quickly

Have tried the holding the close switch for ten seconds to reset height

I'm sure you guys have the answer without me giving my main dealer a months wages

Thanks in advance

Tony

The V6 's had chains for life unless the tensioner failed

The others had belts

don't wreck the motor for a belt

MM 

Probably NO

your insurance will act on your information foremost and D.V.L.A knows everything

Sorry to be a bad-Newser.........D.V.L.A make mistakes for sure but on both trim and engine size ?

really ?

Take it back and get your money back.....it's a Lemon

Yes sometimes cars are pre-registered by dealers too petend that they have been sold when they are really on forecourts purely  to keep the manufacturer happy

So D.V.L.A might have it registered long before it was sold

However it sounds like an engine swap............check the engine number because you've only checked the body

My guess is at some time the engine has popped and been replaced from a 1.4 to a1.6............probably on the cheap from a breakers so uninsured if not declared

Huge fine and six points if not declared............even prison if you kill someone whilst driving

Contact D.V.L.A asap

Did you pay much ? and what mileage is it showing ?

Be aware if its stolen, cloned or a cut and shut you will lose your money and the vehicle

Good luck Bro

Best bet is to walk into local police station and ask them then you'll know for sure   

Plod has no idea bro

Sorry Being tacky ‘Cos I’m  an old boy racer

Audi Quoted £700 for a minor service !

A6 C6 3.0 Le Mans unrestricted 165 mph monstrer which returns at least 30 mpg

happy days

Welcome to the Audi world

fantastic engineering but expensive when it fails

worth every penny for the experience though 

MM

Personally I'd use the £500 on treating yourself or the missus

I pay £34 P.A for the full RAC package, including home start and it covers me regardless of what car or who's car i'm in

Dan

It is copyable (that word again) P.M your addy and I'll pop it in the post (copy that is)

Hi Dan

Got this afternoon off will try to copy it for you

Different subject regarding Bluetooth, I don't have a phone connector in armrest but MMI says I have Bluetooth and gives me the serial number and Bluetooth address of the car.........when trying to connect it says phone switched off, I then go into menu that has switch phone on and nothing happens.

When I tell the car to find Bluetooth devices it searches but doesn't find any

Anyone on group with VIN build sheet access before I waste money only to be told car hasn't got Bluetooth BY Audi

Many thanks

MM

Hi Dan

Now have the handbook CD, MMI CD and sat nav CD

Be happy to burn you a copy F.O.C but think that they may be uncopyable (if that's a word)

Be happy to post the handbook one to you for you to do yourself

I have a Le Mans 3.0 tdi Quattro avant but I believe the basics to be the same for all C6 variants

MM

Heh heh 

Very very funny...........nice one

Oddly I know these acronyms

it is the German ones I don't

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

MM

Hi Paul and Tom

Please excuse a "joint" response

Its a 3.0 with F.A.S.H up to 131k.....it has 138k on the clock

I have had loads of new out of the box high end cars as company vehicles with less than 10 miles on the odometer upon delivery and normally changed them at 100k or every two years but this is my first "new to me" one that I actually own and have responsibility for the cost of running.

I drove them and called the dealer when they broke knowing the bill was irrelevant to me.............reality now bites back with a vengeance. hence all the questions, it's now upfront and personal.

I've a little bit of girly giggles, excitement and trepidation so please excuse mundane (read as "sigh heard all this before") questions, I will simmer down

MM

HI Paul and Tom

Thanks for an intelligent response, I was about to dump his forum, you have given me renewed hope after the initial stupidity I received

I'm buying a 3.0 V6 desease'l with electric heated memory seats, high MMI, Xenons, dimming mirrors et al ..........boys toys heh heh  

I forgot to check for Bluetooth which in this day and age carries 6 points and a £200 fine if not hands free

So if I understand correctly the only way to check is to ask my Iphone if it can find the car ? and follow pairing protocol

IF it doesn't how much would you (purely as advice) stab the dealer for a discount ? (cost of retro fit)

secondly how do I tell what bhp its churning out and is a remap at 138k too much to ask of the engine ?

Sorry to ask benign questions .............still learning xx

If you need help with Pinball....reply off forum.......... there is much better than attack from Mars imho

MM

Sorry Tony (for the pedant)

Thanks Envy x

Is this forum always like pulling teeth ?

I thought it might be about enthusiasts exchanging info and spares knowledge et al ? Appears thus far to be "mines bigger than yours"

Apart from you I've only had sarcasm and questions about my moniker

For the record my name is Tony Mellows and  I'm known as Magic Mellows on a pinball forum (which does the afore mentioned) because I have a passion for restoring Pinball Machines and my speciality machine is called Pinball "Magic"

back to my subject

The dealer offered the aforementioned acronym's but from your kindly posted photos their is no way a C6 variant could have these as they appear to be post 2011 model

Envy..............as your the only one talking sense in your opinion would a C6 on a '06 plate have Bluetooth ?

Thank You

MM

Or to keep the Pedants' happy

Tony

Hi Gareth
