Apparently toothpaste works on headlights when they've gone milky. You could try it on these. They're definitely daytime running lights added as an extra.

Don't bring your Audi down. If well maintained you'd be surprised how far they can go. My A6 is 20 years old with 341k on the original engine and gearbox which have never been rebuilt. My family have owned it from new. I'm going to Germany next month in it, to take it back to where it was built 20 years ago.

Glad you had good results from.cataclean 🙂 have you since fixed the fault now?

Good luck with the sale David, looks a very tidy example.

Yea a long drive will work. Have you considered the petrol engines? Considering the egr delete on mine when time comes to be honest.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sorry to hear you're having issues with your c6.

The diesel engines are reliable but definitely benefit from longer drives. Dpf and egr can get clogged. You could do the delete but it might not pass emissions.

Doesn't download for me either

Glad we could help 🙂

Well if the garage you bought it from are denying any issue then you'll have to bite the bullet and get Audi to diagnose the fault to prove the garage wrong.

When did you have the work done? How long ago.

Yep I mean code reader. But if no idea displayed then I'd recommend an auto electrican to take a look.

Is it the ones next to the fog lights? If so aren't they day time running lights?

Which what sorry?

Sounds good plans so far. I can't speak for the c8 but I know on the c5 an induction kit actually is not as efficient as the original airbox system believe it or not. If you can't find an induction kit you could look at fitting an upgraded panel filter.

Yea definitely recommend a diagnostic check. Audi are the only place for software updates on engine or gearbox. Might be worth seeing if you're car is overdue one as Audi will do it for free if it's overdue as its a bit like a recall. I'd definitely recommend a gearbox oil change if there's no record of it being done.

They're certainly getting rare now. The problem is people often can afford to buy older Audi's but then struggle to pay the ongoing maintenance costs. So they then get scrapped.

If you've used them before then it might be worth going with them.

Rolling road definitely sensible. Key question is what condition and service history is on the engine. Don't forget you might need to consider a gearbox remap too. Celtic tuning, darkside developments or viezu.

Well the fact Audi have found a problem highlights the garage were trying to fob you off. Did Audi say what the fault was? Once diagnosed you can try and get the garage to pay for it especially as you've raised the issue within 30 days of purchase. If you get no where you could contact the motoring ombudsman.

What's the service history on the car? How long have you had it? When was the gearbox last serviced? I'd recommend a diagnostic check. Could also be an injector, MAF or turbo issue.

When ever I've needed cars trailered I use Shipley. It's run by the owners of eBay and it allows companies bid on your transport job whether that be a car or a sofa etc.

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Might be worth seeing if your current one can be rebuilt

I'm shocked that Audi can't provide you with the information as I think they'll be the only ones who can. Might be worth speaking to Audi customer services.
