Heres a cool part I found on another page. It's a washer fluid tank cap that doubles as a funnel to prevent washer fluid spills. It's an OE part on some Skodas and fits right on. Just enough clearance to turn and open. Part number 000096706. Found mine on ebay for £9.

Hello Oscar, The original poster joined and advertised on the same day some 2.5 years ago, and never returned to the forum from that day. As a matter of interest, what was/is the price of a set of VAG rear pads for this? I know VAG discs can be expensive, but have you considered Brembo as an alternative aftermarket disc, with the VAG pads? It is quite likely you will find a couple of Audi main dealers selling genuine pads at discount on EBay. Kind regards, Gareth.

The first two things I'd look at is the battery, when was it last changed? The life expectancy of a battery is 5-7 years. If it's getting nearer the 6-7 year mark I'd recommend a battery tray from Halfords or similar. If the battery is ok then my next question would be to look at when the spark plugs and ht leads were last changed.

Hi I dont think anyone in their right mind would rubber stamp that sort of tyre pressure, the tyre roll and strain on the side walls would be horrendous the pressures are 36psi all round I personally run the tyres on my cab at 38psi as this goes a long way to alleviate scrubbing on the edges due to constant cornering, I have used the Nexen Nfera tyre a lot as they give excellent grip and wear, just about to change the rears which have done 35k, this model of tyre is classed as a premium tyre and if it is of any interest Nexen are their own company and do not produce tyres under licence for any other branded manufacturer they have all their own development facilities near Seoul in Korea, the company has been making tyres for seventy years. Using any rating tyre under 101 XL on a A6 is asking for trouble as they are a heavy car even a 97 XL is not fit for purpose in my opinion the harsh part of the ride is most likely due to the milage as the oil in the shocks is probably worn and foams quickly so they will be past their best and not as resistant to rough roads as they would be when new, unfortunately its the price you pay for not paying the price for a lower milage vehicle. Steve.
