Thankfully not for another 6 years!

Take a look at YouTube buyers guides. Check the service history. Is it full? Has the Cambelt and water pump been changed on time. Has the gearbox oil been changed on time. Dpf and egr coolers are expensive bills when they break. Make sure all electrical items work as things like AC compressors can be expensive. Coolant leak, could it be a leaking heater matrix causing water and thus condensation in the cabin. I think it's very odd the windows to be down for a viewing.

You might find the mmi needs a software update. I'd recommend speaking to your last cal Audi dealer. In theory the update should be free.

I think e5 is selling out faster as people aren't trusting E10. It's all a money making scam as cars running on E10 are getting less mpg.

Unfortunately a fact of life due to the design of the car. You could always try and fit larger rally style mudflaps I suppose

How odd. I have to question my source.

You're most welcome, glad I could help 🙂

I know on my A6 the whole front has to come off to access the belts 🤦‍♂️

They can be a nightmare to change. I know on my A6 c5 the front has to come off.

I'm surprised the remapper didn't offer you to have the dpf deleted from the ECU at the same time. Even if the dpf was still in place. I'd say that the remapper is bound to deny that it's anything to do with what they've done. Was the remap ona rolling road?

So sorry to hear of your situation. Trading in made sense.

Hey David, there's a guide under the A6 c5 section which might help. https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/21584-a6-c5-cd-error-fix/

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 your A8 looks stunning! Best version of A8 is the d3 in my opinion

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sounds like you've had a nice few Audi's 👍

It seems to have gone full circle, in the sense Audi had long Cambelt intervals (8 years in my Audi's case) to then 5 years and now this.

No probs.

Something like this without the roof tent. I've got a roof rack already similar to the one on the green allroad. Think mine is slightly longer though

If the switch is like my a6 from a similar era you need to turn the headlights on then put the headlight switch out.

Your mpg seems right to be honest.

I know on my era of A6 (2002) the comfort control module part number has to be a 100% match. I'd recommend you speak to a retrofitter such as autologics. They've been used by multiple members for retrofits.

I know it's scary isn't it. I speak from experience being an enthusiast my A6 is over serviced and like to make sure parts are changed. Like you, I stuck to the major/minor principals. I can only assume that the materials use for cambelts etc have improved over time hence the longer intervals?

No probs at all 🙂

Don't forget if you enable it and don't have the appropriate stalk and then have an accident your insurance would be void as you've modified the car.

That's my thoughts. Would rather sleep in the car then a tent. Getting mixed views about them on my posts on Facebook. I'm contemplating A side drive away awning for cooking etc.

No probs
