Hi there.. New to the club.. Just got my 1st Audi last Saturday. I'm Richard from West Yorkshire, and have an Avant. 😂 Had to be a quattro... Just had to be.. Our old bus... Ford Smax 2.2 was writen of a month ago.. So I was forced into the position of needing a new car... So I tookbIt as a blessing and an opportunity to get a car I've always admired... The A6 Avant.. So after looking for 3 days solid I bought the old girl 2008 2.7tdi bpp quattro, paddleshift, le Mans spec, in black 😍 168k Few minor issues needed addressing... Undertray insecure (done) Drivers door doesn't unlock of remote (to do) No rear washer (parts on route) Sun visor clips broke.. (fixed) Rear lights were white nearly..(restored) Needed a good clean.. (ongoing) 😂 Done a few non essential Bits too 😉 Looking forward to browsing the forum for tips and ideas 😊 Next jobs harmonic balancer and derestricted airbox.. Thanks for reading 👌 And yes I do like the number plate 😂

I had a similar problem where the front wipers would only work when the car was moving, rear wiper nothing and high beam not functioning (high beam flash would though) thought the bonnet switch lock but wasn’t that After checking fuses found no power before one fuse forget exactly which one. So fed power via another and everything worked fine (still has fuse protection) So in my case must be a wiring fault somewhere.

Of course you are both right, and on reflection, the £130 charged wasn’t too bad. It’s just my mind would have been set on the very low cost resolution of a squirt of WD40 and a light tap on the offender. It’s a Welsh thing of short arms and deep pockets! Glad it’s fixed, and thanks for returning me to the true scene of economics? Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi. Had a niggling problem with the right hand charge flap not wanting to close. When I did get it to closed and locked, it opened again when I unlocked the car. So a trip to the Main Dealer was needed. I was probably going to be told "you will have to book it in Sir, our next available time is July" .But, "hang on" the receptionist said I will get a techy to come out and have a look for you. Anyway 10 minutes later I am back on the road with a normally operating flap. The techy said the mechanism gets a bit sluggish sometimes. Probably a squirt of WD40 was used. I was so pleased with the service and in a state of euphoria I gave the techy a fiver. Tony
