  1. That's good to know for future reference :)
  2. I can appreciate it's frustrating and something that shouldn't really happen with the amount of testing the cars get nowadays. You could always take it to another Audi dealer to see what suggestions/ideas they have. I think unless they change the tank I'm unsure what else Audi can do. But they should at least offer this. Cheers Steve
  3. You're welcome, glad I could help :) Cheers Steve
  4. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I do think a big problem is the poor driving standards within the UK. Mainly as people don't give a damn!
  5. Glad you found it :) was it the fuse at fault? Cheers Steve
  6. Hi Mark, Here's the thread I did for tyre pressure info. Hope it's useful :) Cheers Steve
  7. Not a problem, glad we could help :) looking forward to seeing some pics of your a6 :)
  8. Sorry to hear this Sue, but I know where youre coming from. The suspension as are expensive to replace. Ive had my lower ones replaced recently and the upper ones will be due soon. Oh and feel free to post a for sale ad on the forum :) Are you buying another Audi? Cheers Steve
  9. Most people who have a remap carried out would recommend one but I can't say I've personally done it. Obviously bhp and torque are increased but not always mpg. In theory it should as the new map should smoothen out the torque curve etc. Also the remap could be better improved if you combine it with uprated induction kits or exhausts. It's also key that the car is in good health before you carry out a remap as you will be putting more strain on the engine and potentially the gearbox if it's an auto. If you do have it done and you get called for the emissions recall then do r have the recall done as Audi will wipe your upgraded map. This also goes for software updates which Audi will often do if required when your car goes in for a service or other work. The reason why I've not had a remap is: 1. My a6 is on 328k 2. Despite the fact I could go from 150bhp to 180bhp with a remap the fuel pump my a6 has probably wouldn't be able to cope whereas later a6 models (2004-2005 c5) had a uprated fuel pump as standard. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  10. Hi Josh, Sorry to hear of your issue. When was the transfer box last replaced? who fitted it, and was it an Audi product? Cheers Steve
  11. Welcome to the forum Elias, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) You'll definitely see an improvement on acceleration and bhp compared to the 2.0 litre. The tech pack is a personal thing but I know it is very desirable and most that don't get it wish they had. 12 weeks is ages! I bet you'll be watching the build tracker like a hawk! Cheers Steve
  12. Hmm, well £30 is approx half a tank and it's what I do too. I think the sloshing is often caused by the shape of the fuel tank and I don't think there is much that can be done in my opinion. My other advice would be to take it to another Audi dealer to get there opinion on it. Cheers Steve
  13. You're more than welcome to display your a5 with us :) just meet us at either of the meeting points :) Cheers Steve
  14. Now unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of Audi pre 1968 but I'd guess that one of the companies that came together to make auto Union developed the transverse engine?
  15. I know! It's been a nightmare!! But we'll suffer for this nicer weather!!
  16. Hmm, I still think this has something to do with auto Union in some way but I'm guessing it's not them directly if that makes sense.
  17. Glad you got some form.of result Scotty. Have the dealers said they are going to do anything? As I say I've experienced this on full tanks of fuel in mk2 ford kugas. I just don't full up to a full tank very often anyway (long, long journeys only) Cheers Steve
  18. I thought that too but I guess in light of John looking it must be on the left side? Hmm, well all I can think is that it's on the other side of the dash (on the end and on the opposite side to where you've looked) Cheers Steve
  19. Welcome to the forum Richard, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) At a guess could it be the dpf? Cheers Steve
  20. Hi Lee, unfortunately I can't recommend a garage in your area but I think a diagnostic check is worth carrying out. I wonder if it's the pump that's failed or if something is jammed in the mechanism. Cheers Steve
