  1. Right so I after having a look around and testing on my own A3 I get what your issue is and understand the problem (I think!), it's something I've experience myself but never thought of as an issue but will now bug me till I find a solution!!!! Please see video below and confirm if this is what you mean: So if I'm right the issue is that instead of the water running into the channel on top of the door seal the water tension pulls it onto the door rubber and then it sort of flicks into the car! I've had an idea that I'll test unless someone can get it done before me and post the results, idea is as follows: 1) Clean the paint work about the door seal with soapy water ensuring there is no residual anything on the paint work. 2) Thoroughly clean the door seal and treat with something hydrophobic like RainX. What I hope this may achieve is that the surface tension of the water will hold to the clean paintwork enough that with the door rubber being treated with a hydrophobic solution that the water drops will "wick" into the water channel on top of the seal instead of dripping round the rubber and into the car. I'll post back once I've tried it with results unless someone beats me to it. Another possibility may be to run a plain white wax candle along the top of the rubber but I'm sure there will be other wax substitutes that would be more suitable!

  5. Thanks for the replies Guy's. I've had a look on the interweb. Seller on ebay had them for £59.99 for the pair, but thought I'd check elsewhere & found them on Amazon for £38.44 for the pair + £3.99 p&p. Should be here in the next few days. Looks fairly easy to fit(looking at Elsawin) Brake caliper off,Disc off, remove ABS sensor then unbolt hub.

  6. Ooh, first post and I can answer a question!! The Ad-blue warning on my A6 came on a few weeks ago and it estimated I had 1500 miles still to go, so you get plenty of chance to fill up. Most motor spares shop sell it in 10 litre containers which come with a filler tube. Some filling stations have it on pump but these are still quite rare. I think all A6 diesels have the filler next to the fuel filler but some manufacturers hide them away in the boot or engine bay meaning it's a pain to fill. The Audi is easy. Audi claim the system won't recognise a top up of below 4 or 5 litres so you might as well shove 10 litres in and forget about it. It might take a couple of minutes to recognise it's been filled so don't worry if the warning stays on for a short period. And don't mix it with the fuel whatever you do!!
