https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/27113-for-sale- I have a set of memory, Beige Comfort seats from my 2015 A6 Allroad up for grabs, incls front & rear door cards, rear side bolsters, front armrest. The front seats come with adjustable length squab, adjustable seat and backrest bolsters and 4-way lumbar support. These are also wired for rear seat entertainment but the car came without the brackets to fit the displays to the seats, one display is damaged, but the other one came on ok when I tried it. They go with the seats if you want them. please Note, these seats are NOT heated. No damage, burns or any other issues, bar some barely visible minor wear marks on the drivers seat. ive swapped them for a set of heated/ventilated seats, as I missed both functions after a previous A7. collection only sadly from Weston-super-Mare. (M5 J21). £350 but I’m open to reasonable offers as they do take up a bit of space and I’d like it back! a6-c7-biege-‘comfort’-seats-with-door-cards/

Hi Steve, sorry, I haven’t had time to look at the wheels, (they are buried in boxes in the garage). My mum is very poorly so I’ve been away a lot helping to look after her, trying to get her out of hospital and in to a nursing home for her last few months.😔

Dipstick guide
56Doc replied to Peter Bircham's topic in Audi Parts and Accessories For Sale & Wanted
Ah, there’s 2 engine variants (96kw & 110kw) they have different dipstick tubes. part numbers LLL give for those engines are; (110kw) dipstick tube is 06D 103 634, 96kw dipstick tube is the one you’d been given - 06D 103 663 it’ shows as a short tube that fits onto a ‘funnel’ (bottom half of dipstick tube). -

Did you mean the V6 2.5 l diesel? (2004 A4) if so, LLLParts gives the dipstick tube part number as: O59 115 630F (1st digit is a letter) https://www.lllparts.co.uk/product/059115630F/tube-for-oil-dipstick -

Peter, what model, year & engine was this for please. I’ll look at LLLParts catalogue and see what I can find. For anyone else looking to do the same, I think an easier route would be to look for a tube from the same engine from a slightly earlier build, all the V6 single turbo engines are mechanically identical (or so I’ve been told by a number of specialists for my MY [2015]), it’s how I got a dipstick for mine, I looked at the items list for a 2012/2013 model. Ive been using ‘LLLParts’, who use a fairly comprehensive an online illustrated parts catalogue. you can search by year too, which made it easier. -

Oh, hadn’t realised that about google, I use a browser, which doesn’t have that issue. but Yeah, Audi stopped fitting the dipsticks when they swapped using the electronic one, although some cars came with the tube until they changed the engine build spec. Mines a 2015, so that was built during the swap over. i don’t like the electronic one and I’m an engineer! -

Thanks Gareth but No worries, I couldn’t see that he’d left or wasn’t active on here anymore, wouldn’t have responded. -

Have you tried ‘LLLParts’ online? If you can’t find the part you’re looking for, (go thru the manufacturers/world area/model & year), then send them an enquiry. they were very helpful when I was looking for a dipstick for my 2015 Allroad, (which has the tube but no dipstick, just the electronic level, which only works when the engines warm, so not much use for checking fluid levels before a journey! -
I have installed a set of heated seats in my Allroad, so now have these for sale. A full set of Audi A6 C7 Comfort memory seats, front and (split fold) rear seats , includes 4 door cards, rear side bolsters and front centre armrest from 2015 Allroad. Front Seats have Fully electric adjustment for lumbar support, extendable Seat squab and the Seat squab and backrest side bolsters. The front seats came with the rear entertainment package (which I never used as the brackets didn’t come with the car), one display I know is damaged and there is additional wiring in the car too. Other display seemed to work ok when I plugged them both in out of curiosity.. Note - Front seats & rear side bolsters have air bags. Colour is a light cream, Audi call it Atlas Beige. £550 or nearest sensible offer! Available from Weston-super-Mare (M5 - J21) Cheers all

On my A6 Allroad, the current ride height is highlighted in orange, while the other height settings are just blank boxes. so I would assume yr assumption is correct, but greyed out rather than blank. when the old Allroad had suspension issues, all height segments were blank if I recall correctly.

Try cleaning the electrical connector 1st. If it’s now working, it sounds like either a mechanical or electrical poor/ loose/stiff connection (mechanical connector could be stiff, so not moving with car to axle movement, or damaged?) has to be cheaper than a new level unit. I had to replace one in a Lexus RX450. £500!

Audi routinely offer decent deals on warranties, £1k for a year is quite a lot to me but for peace of mind could be worth it, it’s really only down to how you feel & how much confidence you have in your car.

😁 Glad you like it, ever so slightly jealous🤦🏻♂️ I love the air suspension and the drive, it’s the best ride of any car I’ve ever owned, (bar the 1st Allroad!) Ive been through a foot of snow and & 2 foot of water in it without any problem. mines the lower power (218) version, I’d wanted the 272bhp sport version (seemed the best version for my needs) as I wasn’t sure I could afford to run a BiTDI but the 218 I found was the only one with the interior trim I liked, so I bought it but, when I had it serviced they said it had been remapped and explained that apart from the BiTDI, all the other engines were mechanically identical, they just had a different map, it certainly goes very well when I ask it to! It seems quicker than the original V8 Allroad I had, which is saying something. Lot more torques in this one. id have liked the 360 camera, (last car had it, miss it tbh but at £2500, no chance!) not sure now that the Ltd slip diff in the sport would have been worth and it looks a lot better with the windows tinted.

Audi 4.2 V8 cars with timing chain Vs Cambelt list
56Doc replied to Steve Q's topic in Audi Technical
They’ve had it about 6 yrs min. I think. Bought from new. -
There were no codes on my 04 Allroad, 2010 Q7, there might be but, the systems electrical rather than electronic on the old Allroad, so nothing digital involved.

56Doc replied to Steve Q's topic in Audi Technical
Well, as I said, I don’t know anything about them as I’ve never owned one but they love it. Very economical, and it seems to have plenty of grunt for such a small engine on the odd occasion I’ve driven it. -

I’d heard of the powershift issues but little about any eco boost engines. my brother has a fiesta with the 3pot eco boost and they love it. -
Interesting, I’m not sure about dismantling the dash or the quality of Chinese stuff bought through Aliexpress though! did you have to remove the centre console to get the AC unit etc out? im also a bit concerned about the reliability of the new unit. I’ve bought stuff via Aliexpress before and it failed soon after purchase. No chance of getting my money back from them, they just kept fobbing me off knowing that there’s no recourse or anything to make them refund you, sent stuff back only for them to deny it’s arrived, even after I’d sent it recorded delivery & had a received receipt & signature. I’m guessing there’s no other aftermarket source for head units? i hope yours continues to work ok, but I’m not all keen to buy from China anymore tbh, even though that looks a good system.

I had a garage do it as it’s not easy on a drive! But forum discussions at the time (if you do the job yourself) suggested blanking off the air pipe and running the pump to check for leaks (dont run it for more than 1 minute in ten) it’s just not designed for it and will likely burn the motor or compressor seals. if you can pressurise it another way to test, I’d do so.

56Doc replied to Steve Q's topic in Audi Technical
Hi Steve, I had a 2004 V8 Allroad, it had cam chains (x4) on the back of the engine, same as the later versions. the chains had started to rattle, which was why I sold it on after I tried having the tensioners replaced to fix it, made no difference, so as I couldn’t afford the repair, I sold it before it became a bigger issue! The chains were a £6k job to remove the engine & replace them all. -
PS; it’s not really safe to drive at all TBH with collapsed suspension on 1 side, and defo not at any speed over 30. My Allroad had the tyre rubbing on the wheel arch when it blew a bag. sorry!
