Steve Q

No probs. You might find a second hand one on eBay.

At least you've got a temporary fix. Sounds like your mechanic is very knowledgeable 👍

I'd be looking on eBay in my opinion.

I wonder if it's an issue with the app or the car. Easiest thing to do is delete.the app and reset it up to see if that works.

This YouTube video might help:

Sounds like the previous owner did a bodge job! Glad you got sorted.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

They're nice 👍

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I'd recommend you look at euro car parts and similar motor factors.

When I had a glowplug issue, I just changed them all. You're right though it could be a broken wire from the leads.

Are they bungs?

Make sure all electrical items work and ac. Has the gearbox been serviced? Has the quattro system been serviced (if applicable)? Are the tyres the same brand and tread on each axle as uneven tyre wear or mismatched tyres can damage the quattro system. I'd also recommend you check out buyers guides on YouTube as they'll help.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

Do t start collecting wheels lol, it's an expensive hobby. Take it from my experience!

I'd recommend changing the glowplugs. NGK are one option.

That's good then 🙂 glad it's all gone well 🙂

Did it say which injector was at fault?

I'm just considering options on future trips which might be more extreme. My current tyres are 205/55/16. I've seen I can get a body lift kit for the A6. I'm wondering if 205/80/16 or 205/70/16 tyres will fit without causing steering or gearbox issues? I appreciate most all terrain tyres are on allroads but just seeing if it's possible in a standard A6 which is a "narrow body" compared to the allroads "wide body". I must add, the allroad standard wheel size are 17". Cheers Steve

Very interesting Steve, you've got me thinking as my c5 has never had a new throttle body in its whole 21 years of life.... Glad you've found the parts cheaper 🙂 does the new one have to be coded? What condition is the egr in?

I'd look on eBay. The hardest but will be to get the old spoiler off as the bonding agent is pretty tough!

There should be a mark that says auto on the light unit to show when it's auto lights

No probs at all

Exactly Steve. My A6 brochure tells me how good it is for the environment! Regardless of our views on emissions and the environment, one thing we can all agree one is that any government in power is a money hungry, living so n so. I just know my Audi is more environmentally friendly than any modern electric milk float. Nothing will change until build carbon for any item is taken into account when considering the environment.

Nice one. Definitely not! Gone are the days when cars were simple!

This is brilliant thanks for sharing this 😊
