Sorry to hear the a6 was scruffy. Makes me look like an idiot now lol! Looked good in the pics but it just goes to show nothing compares than to see the car in the flesh! The autotrader link doesn't work but I'm guessing it's a TT and you're happy with it. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Colm, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Have you had a diagnostic check carried out? And if so this is what I'd recommend. Plis, if the garage have advised you this is the area where the diesel is escaping from, why haven't they replaced the faulty part? Cheers Steve

Rob your info is fantastic! Top work :) I need to sit down and work exactly where I'll meet you all. I'm staying at the premier inn in nursling if anyone wants to meet me in the morning. As gates open at 9 I think we want to get there 5-10mins before or 5-10mins after. What do you all recon?

Welcome to the forum Edna, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Lovely looking a5 you have there! :) Cheers Steve

Plenty of evidence to sort your case then :)

Wow Trevor! Now that is a beaut! Shame about the miss matched wheels though!

You're welcome, glad I could help :) And I certainly do! It's part of the family now! ;)

Thanks! :) Well in theory my a6 is on long life servicing but the oil gets changed yearly which is less than 20k :)

Hi Bradley, a convertible would be perfect in this nice weather! With the a4 and similar aged vag cars the only rust to be concerned about are the front wings which can rust at the top of the arch. This is caused by a piece of foam which is fitted between the wing and wheel arch liner and over time absorbs moisture which causes the wings to rust. Here's a couple of YouTube video which may help: Cheers Steve

My first port of call would be to get the battery tested as some electrical faults can be caused by a failing battery. If you haven't got the necessary equipment I know halfords can test it for you :) Cheers Steve

I think it depends if keyless entry was ordered when new. From the sound of it, this is unlikely. As Tom has said this is good for security and let's face it we've been open cars with buttons for years now so pressing it is nother here nor there really.

Looks like a case of cloned plates. Has the garage got CCTV to prove your car was there? Or the garage will have to give a statement. Can you prove you were at work as well as that will help. Cheers Steve

That's good to know for future reference :)

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

You're welcome, glad I could help :) Cheers Steve

Very true Paul!

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!

Glad you found it :) was it the fuse at fault? Cheers Steve

Hi Mark, Here's the thread I did for tyre pressure info. Hope it's useful :) Cheers Steve

Not a problem, glad we could help :) looking forward to seeing some pics of your a6 :)

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

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
