New Audi A6 Owner from 15th January 2025

[DeeGee68]

Hi ALL! 😉

I went out today to go and see an Audi A4 and I have signed off on an Audi A6 40 TFSI after being taken out for a spin and then driving it myself. I only went to have a 'look' but I decided to pull the trigger on the A6. I previously owned an A3 1.6 petrol and then upgraded to a A5 convertible then lastly to an S3 Quattro. I loved the S3 and felt the loss after part exchanging it against a VW Transporter T6.1.

I just loved how smooth the A6 was and the tech was amazing. The quality of the interior was on another level to me. I have been inside my friend's A7 and that felt like a spaceship!  I have come back to Audi and this forum to educate myself about my new purchase. 

Please be gentle as I will probably have to put in some time to reading the manual 😃 but any help or advice regarding my new purchase will be greatly appreciated. ☺️

 

ATB!

Sorry for the delay in posting. Picked up the A6 and went for the Vodafone S5 Tracker fitted by Audi Coulsdon. Unfortunately, the tracker had a fault but I had no problem getting it replaced immediately. I have had BlackVue dashcams fitted front and rear with backup battery. I would like some upgrades and I have been speaking to my friend Ash at Audi Retrofits about some upgrades to make my life a little easier. I hurt my back in 2022 and the electric, heated 4 way lumbar support goes a long way with my back.

A couple of weeks ago I got a message to update the Satnav which I did but it seems to have stopped downloading the European maps and shows 66% downloaded and trying to continue. I have it booked in with Audi on Friday so hoping that it will be a quick fix. I did purchase a 90 day 15GB data pack from Cubic Telecom for £21.99 in case it was due to the Audi Connect using the FREE 3GB of data that you get with the car.

Just wondering if anyone on here has anything like what I have experienced with the satnav, I do know it is a MIB3.

Now, what you previously asked for;

It is a White A6 40 TFSI on 19" wheels (I will try to get some photos of the car in due course). Whilst I was waiting to pick up my car, I did 'sit' in an RS6 in their showroom. 😈 It is an amazing machine and I love the tech it has. I know I was tempted to drive that away but I also know I do NOT have deep pockets! Maybe one day.

I have driven it down to Bournemouth from Biggin Hill and I got 51mpg! I was shocked at the economy of my A6 but I drove leisurely as I was in no hurry to get to where I was going. On arrival in Bournemouth I felt refreshed and did not want to get out of the car. My daughter loves the car and asked me when she can drive it 😋

Thanks for reading. 👍

 

ATVB!
