Hi Everyone, I am new to Audi, I have just purchased an A6 40 TDI Avus Saloon (July 2020). It is the base model but with many extras. I have attached a photo Bob

I know on my A6 I only have fronts.

a quick update on my wet floor,the water is getting in through the rear lights ive discovered.i know this is a common fault with coupes,my son sprayed rain water on the back window and down towards the lights and it was flowing in fairly quick.so ill get sealant tomorrow and hopefully that will sort it.

Hello Ray, Re tyres and harsh ride:- I think that the ride with any 35 profile tyre on a car built with sports suspension is going to be ‘harsh’ irrespective of brand - you just don’t have sufficient shock absorbing rubber to benefit from comfort. Moving to 17 inch wheels will allow higher profile and help to some extent. Other considerations:- have you checked whether the current tyres are XL? - or run-flat. Either of these will add to ride harshness. Non- folding mirrors:- worth obtaining a build record from a main dealer via. the VIN. This will tell you whether the car was built with folding mirrors, but are no longer working. It has been said that VAG equip all their vehicles with such motorised mirrors ( your age of car?) and all you need to do is to have them coded to operate. This is new to me and would be great. I’m not having that confirmed with our non-Audi, but…. Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Either if those 2 tyre brands are good. They can be added, might be worth you speaking to an auto electrican. Your phone sat back can't be shown on the cars screen. You can get SD card updates. Have a look on eBay first. Yep mpg will be a shock if you've come from hybrids. What mpg is the car saying you're getting? TFSI engines aren't the most economical. Mirrors, it most likely won't have the feature. You could have it retrofitted and is worth speaking to autologics or Audi retrofits.

Welcome aboard and all the best from David Wise

Hi its been a running battle with these things they are a disgrace mine went last year and Audi wanted £1700 to do it, they only sell the part with the new valve attached £700 or there about, see if you can find a VAG specialist to give you a quote, an oe part with the valve is on eBay at the moment for around £500, the part number is 04L 512 For the cooler and 04L 131 501 B for the valve. Steve.

I wish it would Gareth. Unfortunately, it's too low down once raised. Our A4 B8 used to do that.
