A6 Avant 2015 2L Quattro
Not a problem :) I'm unsure to be honest. But even with steady driving I don't think you'll get the same mpg as the 2.0 diesel. Hypothetically yes, however if it's just had the recall done and the car is for sale then I would be very careful. Obviously if it was done a year ago then you should be fine :) What spec are you thinking of getting? Cheers Steve

Flashing glowplug light
Hi Martin, My first advice would be to get a diagnostic check carried out to see what fault codes flag up as a flashing glow plug light could be caused by various things. I do know that the B7 was subject to a recall for the injectors and it might be worth to see if there is a recall outstanding on your car or whether it's been done. The light flashing could also be due to the turbo under or over boosting which can be caused by the turbo pressure sensor failing. Or even the dpf sensor failing. One thing I would advise I'd that audis and other German cars don't like being fixed on the cheap as this can cause even more issues later on. I'd advise fix it properly and then you reduced the risk of it going again in the near future. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

Buying a Mk1 TTC 225
Welcome to the forum Nick, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I'd say look on eBay first as this will give you a good idea of specs and colour combos etc. Then I'd look at specific Audi, VAG or german car specialists. I wouldn't always direct members to other forums/clubs but there are dedicated TT clubs which will.be a good place to look as an enthusiast owned car is often more well looked after. Hope I've helped. Cheers Steve

S-tronic Noise
Welcome to the forum Sam, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Have you checked the service history to see when the oil was last changed? It might be worth you booking your a1 in for a diagnostic check and for an oil change. Sorry I can't help more. Also we'd love to see pics of your a1 in France :) we have a whole section on audis from around the world. Here's the thread: Cheers Steve

Intermittent no satellites
You're welcome :) Glad it's booked in. The diagnostic charge is £60, however this charge is wavered if you have the repair carried out at the Audi garage. When your a3 is in, ask them if there is any factory good will they can give you (discount) as the Sat nav shouldn't have failed so soon in my opinion. The extended warranty can be good but don't forget to read the small print. Cheers Steve

A6 Allroad how to remove rust from silver sills under doors
Welcome to the forum Simon, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Have you got any pictures? Is the rust definitely on the door blades (polished bit) or is it on the actual doors? Cheers Steve

A6 Avant 2015 2L Quattro
Glad the info was useful Wayne :) The a6 will definitely be more fuel efficient than.the jag by far! And the bi turbo is lovely but not as economical as the 2.0 litre obviously. Unless you really need it then get Quattro. Otherwise don't bother as you'll save on fuel. From the cars you've had, you'll be more than fine with a fwd Audi 😉 From my time working at Volkswagen the dpf and EGR issues were often seen after or during the time the car had come in for the emissions update/recall. Hence why I mentioned about it. If the car has just had the recall done in the last month then I wonder be very wary. From the miles you're doing you'd be more than ok :) Cheers Steve

A6 Avant 2015 2L Quattro
Welcome to the forum Wayne, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Realistically you'd be looking at mpg in the 40s or 50s on a mixture of motorway, country roads and town driving. But if it's just town driving then this may drop to mid to high 30s. One thing to check is whether or not the a6 has had the emissions recall carried out and if so how long ago. If it's been done in the last month and now the car is for sale then you have to question why. Have a look on this thread about the recall and the issues that can appear afterwards: Also here is a buyer's guide on the c7: Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
