Hi Tony Welcome to the club. Before I got my E-Tron GT I had a A6 and I had some goodies retro fitted by Autologics. They came to the house, very professional, quick and tidy. Have a look on their site. Tony

Hi The cockpit view on my GT remains as I set it. It doesn't default back to high view unless I change it. I have my regen set to manual so I use the flappy paddles to set it each time I start. Tony

Hi Gareth Just looked on The Electoral Register for Beckenham. The was a Hetty S Holloway living in somewhere Beckenham in 1965. Tony

Sorry Gareth only sped read it. I now see the connection with Beckenham. Tony

18 Overbury Avenue is a victorian house that has been converted into flats. Haven't got a clue about 1947-1965 I don't see the connection between Winterbourne Austin Sixteen and Beckenham. Tony

Thanks for your replies Gareth. I can make Cardiff on one charge, but, I would have to stop at Chieveley Services on the way back to recharge. So, when the GT needs cleaning again I'll pop over and leave it with you while I go to lunch if that is OK. Tony

Well thanks for that Gareth. I will talk to Audi and see what they suggest. I used to clean my A6 myself but now being over 80 if I get down to clean the wheels I may never get up again. On that note though, I had a job getting some sort of reasonable insurance for the GT. I suppose 80 year olds aren't supposed to have £90k GT's. I was quoted anything up to £4.5K per year with full NCB. I eventually got it for £1.2K with Esure. Does put you off a bit from owning the car of your dreams.

I would imagine so.

Hi Gareth I have never washed it. I take it to the hand car wash close to me every couple of weeks. Tony

Hi E -Tron GT now 6 months old and the alloys have started to corrode already. Took the car to my Audi dealer and they agreed they need refinishing. The car has gone in today and I now have a new E-Tron SUV as a courtesy car. Audi have been very good and it should be ready on Friday. After driving the SUV, nice car but prefer my GT. Tony

Sorry Tom, haven't got a clue. I took it to the garage and they plugged in their computer. I think it is just a tick box thing and everything was OK afterwards. Tony

Hi Tom Have you had the new battery "paired" to the car. The cars system needs to know that a new battery has been installed. I had this some years ago and it caused all sorts of electrical gremlins until I had it done. Tony

Yes they are diamond cut alloys.

Hi. My beautiful E-Tron GT has to go back to Audi. It has developed corrosion on two of the alloy wheels. Audi are going to have them refinished for me (F.O.C.) and they are lending me an E-Tron car. So not all bad news . Tony

Hi I have had my e-Tron GT 5 weeks now and I seem to have learnt most of it's secrets. It is actually a stunning car in every respect. It's very economical to run, to charge on my home charger to 80% (recommended) costs about £16.00 on my energy tariff which gives me approx. 260 miles. I always shop at Tesco's now as you can charge for free there. I usually find a small group of people looking at the car when I get back to it. The performance is blistering 0-60 in 4.3 seconds 0-100 in 9 secs is fast enough for anybody. The only drawback I have found is that the doors are rather on the narrow side ( Should it have been a 2 Door) My son is 6'3ins tall and when he puts the front seat back he is staring a the B post. But on the whole I wouldn't change it for the world. Tony

Hi. Just got my new E-Tron GT and I must agree with you I was a little disappointed with the interior. I traded my A6 Avant Black Edition for the E-Tron and it was much better inside. Retractable covers over the trinket boxes and drinks holders ect. What do you mean by S mode? Mine changes the 2 speed box automatically under brisk acceleration. Probably not doing the transmission much good through. Tony

Hi. I believe the lock spirals into the mechanism. Try pushing the flap opposite side to the hinge as you pull the lanyard. The mechanism may have jammed in the down position. Tony

Hi David I have just bought a new E-Tron GT and I am "old school" so it is way beyond me. I had an hours tutorial with the Audi salesman and still had to get it touch with the Audi help desk who finished the set up for me. So you are not on your own. Tony

Hi Dianne I would imagine this was a bit of a shock. Fuel filter, dust and pollen filter and the timing belt would not be part of the MOT. Get those done as soon as you can afford them. These jobs are possibly 50% of the bill. Throttle body is probably why you are losing power and causing the warning light. Front link arm possible the bushes are worn, coil spring may be broken. I think these would have to be done to pass MOT. Best of luck Tony

I agree with Steve. It does sound like a head gasket problem. Tony

I am at the moment eating humble pie. I have realised that if you put the phone in sideways it locates in a little slot. Sorry Audi. Still love the car, blisteringly quick. Tony

You pay thousands of pounds for these vehicles and they fail on the simplest of things.

Hi Only had my E-Tron GT 10 days. Great car, but have found that if you place your mobile phone in the wi fi charge place you can't shut the lid.

I sold my Beautiful A6 Avant. So goodbye to my A6 friends who have helped me over the years. But wait a moment, I am not going far, I am changing forum destinations. I have just purchased a Audi E-Tron GT.

Hi My 2016 Avant doesn't has any way of holding up the boot liner either.
