Well im very happy to say that I've just picked up this beauty.

2L tdi a6 avant.

Have to say my first thoughts on it are its a very nice relaxed atmosphere inside while wafting down the motorway, the steering seems precise but it doesn't dart around the road.

The 2L tdi pulls well at pretty well any revs and speed and it didn't take much to get 40mpg with some effort id guess I'd be able to achieve 55+

The paintwork has a fair few swirl marks and scratches on it but nothing a good polish won't make good, inside the right seat bolster on the rear seat has abit of a tear in it but it's getting sorted soon and the front parking sensors aren't working along with the start stop.

The think I like most I think are the wheels they really do set the car off well, it has a Maxton bootlid spoiler and in the future I'd like to get a front and rear splitter for it.

Looks lovely. If you bought it from a dealer then the faults you've highlighted are their responsibility to repair FOC within the first 30 days.

Same spec black edition s line but audi have told me they have taken this off their cars now, for what reason I've no idea

They've been struggling to get certain kit. For example I know some q7 cars haven't been fitted with matrix headlights when they should have been fitted. 

What's the spec difference? As your old one was clearly a higher spec. 

You could wait, but current trends show that petrol and diesel cars are holding their values more than they used to as people don't want electric but they'll still depreciate a little. 

Plus once April comes the new reg comes out so it'll reduce in price then in theory. 

Bentley manuals might do one but they're not cheap 

The VIP event might have been a way to try and get older models sold in prep for the new model. 

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Might be worth speaking to retrofitters such as autologics or Audi retrofits as members have used them in the past and they have been happy with the results. 

Might be able to activate them via vcds or obd11 etc. 

First thing to check is the battery tray housing as the drains in the bottom of the tray can clog with foliage then water gets into the cabin via the bulkhead.  

Other locations could be water getting in via the boot seal near to wear the roof meets the boot. 

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up 

Keep us posted on how you get on

Very nice 🙂

Can't say I've ever heard of this before. 

As Steve said it could need a software update. Worse case scenario a sensor, camera or module has got damaged. 

Just checked eBay with no success. eBay would be your bet bet and it'll be case of waiting. 

Yep egr and dpfs issues are common. A motorway run once a week can be good. How many miles did you do a year? And what kind of mileage? I'd it's mainly town driving then a petrol might be better. 

That's a great result 😊

I think you buy a replacement SD card that contains the whole program 

Looks a lovely car. 

Gareth is right, I should have added that in my response. 

The wiring breaking is a common occurrence, I'd recommend looking on eBay including international sellers. Alternatively you could try Audi heritage. 

I keep every receipt for any work carried out on my car. 

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂
