Got my car back after 2 weeks in the sprayers 🙂 time for a little spa 

There are 4 types on c7 platform 

Manual

Stronic dtc

Multitronic ctv

Tiptronic zf8hp

Black edition is just a visiual thing. All chrome bits are in black outside , nothing else 

Get it to a detailer to see if they can do a paint correction

Also have a look at nano coating to protect the paintwork in the future 🙂

You need a vcds scan for faults . It could be something simple or not..

Scan will tell you what the fault is 

Common issue . Here ia how to fix

I had my rear springs changed last month , both broke, 100£ at a local garage 

I do belive you need to compress them 

Putting xenon in fogs will not pass MOT . Also leds can possibly show faults on dash or flash every 30 seconds as the car checks for faulty bulbs 

I have on my a6 c6 h7 halogen bulb with a blue tint. It gives white light 🙂

You need to replace the ac sensor . The first fault is there as the sensor does not comunicates with the controler

Sorry to contradict Piotr, but why should these new springs compress within one month?  They are designed to take the maximum recommended loads over a period of years of service, and unless they are constantly highly loaded, will remain substantially as they are for a long time. 

By your logic, if you measure the ride heights of all - say demonstrator Audis on the forecourt , they will ride lower than the ones just driven into the showroom. Um?

Kind regards,

Gareth.

I fitted new springs a month ago . They will do down a bit after a month or so

And showroom or not they have the weight of the car on them so the hight will be diffrent when you mesure the spring with and without load on them 

By logic things go down with age ... 😂

Just remember when you will buy new rear sprinds the car will sit higher that before. They will get a bit lower after a month or so but it will be still higher than now. 

Nice paul. Get yourself a ironx and clay bar . They will decontaminate the paint you will see a real diffrence !

You need to do a longer run from time to time othervise dpf can clogg up

Hi, 

I do the school runs on weekdays and mostly city driving. I'm averaging around 7mph.

There is your answer 🙂 diesels take a while to reach the engine temp so on city driving the mpg will be high . 

Mine 3.0tdi quattro does around 25mpg 

What is your avr. jurney daily ? 

3.0tdi is chain 

And re air ride is hit and miss. Some work fine some break 🙂

Hi Piotr, I'm not much of a mechanic mate, how do I remove these cylinders? Thanks.

The drain ia under the cylinders. No need to remove them 🙂

Fingers crossed i will have my car back for this !!!!

I dont think anyone here would be able to help with this one .... air ride on audies are complicated 🙂

you need a vcds scan first to checl for faults as they may point out that is wrong . 

And get it to a specialist to do a pressure test on the system
