Redex fuel additives
Well I've used it for one tank and still have half a bottle left for a second tank. So I'll be using it again to see if the a6 gets smoother :)

Hola
Welcome to the forum Kevin, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Thank you so much for your kind words about the forum :) we all work really hard but it wouldn't be the same without our great members :) Alfas are nice cars and the interiors look and feel nice. It's just a shame about the electrics! The DNA system in the newer ones is fun too :) The b5 is a nice car and it sounds nice in purple! Not a very common colour. If you've had the battery area checked and other parts of the bulkhead then yes it could be the windscreen if it's not been bonded in properly. Has the a4 got a sunroof by any chance? Does the radio come on and light up? A common issue with the radios from this era is that the pixels in the LCD screen fail hence why they don't work. I believe the radio can be fixed but you'd be better off sourcing a second hand unit from eBay or similar. And you'll need the radio code for any replacement radio. Cheers Steve

Full marks Paul!! I'm clearly making this far too easy! Here's a new one and the clue it's a crime drama and one we've not had before.

Slight crunch type noise from gearbox
I thought it would be. On the a6 c7 there have been reports of the car not engaging certain gears but namely reverse. One of the believed causes is old gearbox oil and in most cases after the oil has been changed the gearbox has been fine. Thankfully you have audi warranty so they should fix this ok. But it still.might be worth you checking to see if and when the gear box oil has been changed. Cheers Steve

Audi MMI SatNav SD Card
Welcome to the forum Alasdair, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) You could definitely try and buy an SD card off eBay and try it. If that fails then your best bet is Audi I'm affraid. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Thomas, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I've watched/listened to the video more than once and can't point put the noise you are referring to. Sorry. Could you elaborate on the noise? Cheers Steve

De-cat for 1.9
The lambda sensor monitors the oxygen in the emissions and relays this info back to the ecu and thus it helps with the running of the engine. Normally when a lambda sensor fails you'll find that the car may loose power, go into limp mode or just have an engine management light on the dash. The engine management light on the dash would also be an MOT failure on the new rules. I'm unsure about the down pipe to be honest but I suspect it's a single pipe. Cheers Steve

Instrument Cluster
Hi Karen, It could be a loose wire as your garage has stated or in a worse case it could be the instrument cluster. My advice would be to get a auto electrician have a look to see if there is a loose wire or faulty earth. Or alternatively you could get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve

DPF
I worked in a Volkswagen service department and can confirm the dpf can fail at as little as 50k if you are doing short drives. You should do a motorway drive at least once a week for a dpf regeneration to take place. To be fair it's the same with the egr and egr cooler too.
