I am retired, but I have a part time job of delivering and collecting new cars for a multi-franchise car group. I travel all over Great Britain and Ireland. My hobbies are playing golf twice a week, and I have a fairly large model railway.
Hi.
Sally Sat Nav is working fine although it could do with an upgrade. I have read that it runs with a SD card. Both my SD card slots are empty! If that is the case, how is it working? Is there another slot hidden away somewhere only known to Audi so that they can charge mega bucks for an upgrade?

Hi
Am I being a bit dim and looking at the wrong part. But GSF/Europarts have got clutch kits from LUK for £120. Albeit out of stock at the moment.

Hi Mark
Welcome. Good choice of car, if you are buying an Audi A6 it has to be a Black Edition. I changed all the badges to black on mine. Looks good.

Hi
Seemed to have developed a slightly worrying noise from the near front wheel area. When reversing and applying the brakes for the first time a noise occurs as if something is moving or repositioning. Only happens once when reversing and doesn't seem to happen when moving forward again.
Would like to get this investigated as the warranty runs out in a month.
Any ideas

Hi Steve
The Mitsubishi Outlander Diesel is very good. Very powerful but wouldn't win a GP. Very spacious and on long journeys is a good comfortable drive.
The e-Tron I think is a whole different ball game. But electric does give you the sense of power. The Renault Zoe 0-30 has the same torque as a Porsche 911 with no gear changes.
Hi Steve
I have a part time job of delivering new cars. I travel all over. I had to deliver a Renault Zoe to South Wales, which you cannot do without a recharge. I got as far as Membury Services with 50 miles left in the battery. Electric charge stations " out of order" Had to get the Zoe trailed to the next Services. Only could get a 45 minute charge there because of faults in the system. Just made it to the customer, who then complained that I had run the battery nearly out. The infrastructure just isn't there yet. Even the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which is advertised as doing over 100 mpg, I have never got more than 40 mpg driving to Scotland.

HI
I seem to have some high speed vibration. It seems to come in around 70-80+mph. Otherwise the car is really smooth. The whole car seems to vibrate, not the steering. Have done a visual check on the tyres and wheels everything there seems ok. Any thoughts?

Hi Terence.
My Daytona Grey A6 Black Edition looks great with black badges. Set would be around £30 from ebay. Replacing is fairly straight forward. Would talk you through it should you wanted to do it.

Just bought my tickets to Beaulieu. Looking forward to a great day out. Does somebody arrange a meeting place so that we can arrive en masse?
Done that many times before when we went to The Le Mans and other events.
Hi Adam
Sorry, mine is a Black Edition so it didn't have any chrome trims. But, if you want to replace the badges I got mine from Ebay, all good quality.
If you are interested I'll send you the links. The badges are fairly easy to remove, I'll explain if you want.
Tony
Hi Jonathan
Welcome. I have the exact same car, I got mine in January and it has been a dream. I changed all the badges to black gloss as I thought a Black Edition should have them. ( Ebay about £30 in total.)
It looks absolutely stunning.

Hi
Cooling fans still running on. Went back to the garage with the fans running. Another diagnostic check. There are two engine temp sensors. One reading 87 degrees, second one reading 2000 degrees. I think that might be the problem.
Hi
Just got back from having the diagnostic check on the car. No fault codes!!! The garage checked every thing, air con, temp sensors, engine temp, nothing.
Drove back home perfectly. Garage took their time checking, and did not charge me.
