Not had the same issues, sounds like it needs them to run updates / reinstall ! -
A6 C8 50tdi Quattro Brake Pads & Disc Replacement Cost!
ykes replied to MartinLHW's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
I know you are in Scotland, but here is a link to non audi dealer, but audi specialist: https://www.audi-specialists.co.uk/service-menu/ Shows us all the silly mark up the 'STEALERS' are taking us for ! -
Hi, The second row is perm live, the bottom row is switched live / accessory. Not sure if yours has parking mode, so you may only need one positive connection but depends what your Garmin model is / says in the manual If you are using piggy back connections then the 2nd fuse covers the amperage for your device.

I paid Halfords to do mine then had to rewire it myself as they got it wrong by connecting the switched live and constant live wires both to constant live. This meant the parking mode did not kick in as the unit did not sense power off. Be aware when testing for switched live these circuits do not power down straight away. I used the fuse box in the footwell near side not the higher panel, this picture should sort for you.

ykes replied to ykes's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
If it helps anyone this is all the Extra work needed according to the myAudi app with my car registered to it, note they could not explain why this says 40k for the gearbox oil change versus the Stealers 38k though…. -

38k Gearbox Oil Service-2021 2.0 TDI Quattro-Price/Non Audi?
ykes replied to ykes's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
Thanks I have a service plan but this particular gearbox oil change is not included. Turns out that a non dealership specialist was slightly more expensive but they included flushing. Had it done at Audi for convenience of being done at the same time. -
Does we buy any car or similar help you value wise?

38k Gearbox Oil Service-2021 2.0 TDI Quattro-Price/Non Audi?
ykes replied to ykes's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
Indeed, I have the App also and noticed this, asked Audi why they were chasing me for a 38k change when it says 40k in their very own app that my car is linked to..... and they said its definitely 38k - hmmm wonder what would happen if it was not charged and failed at 39k for instance Suppose we cannot expect to pay all this premium money and expect something as basic as this to be correct eh.... -
38k Gearbox Oil Service-2021 2.0 TDI Quattro-Price/Non Audi?
ykes replied to ykes's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
Hi Gareth, Well no, for some reason when it was set up it picked up part of my email address; it's Yan. So I checked local Audi dealers all the same price or more, but same Audi group, they used to do price matching against local garages but now don't - so guess thats called go old price fixing... I've called a specialist and they also queried the miles saying would expect to be twice that; so guess these gearbox's are flakey and thus an early oil change; waiting for them to come back with a price and what work that is; if it's just drain and replace oil thats crazy given car would be in for a main service and thus already being worked on at the same time. Also in the Audi price they want £9.99 to dispose of the oil, which I've queried as was going in for the standard service at the same time > they can put it in a container and I'll take FOC to the local Council Recycling centre for that ! On similar marques do you happen to know the frequency of change? Cheers -
Anyone know of an Independent specialist in the Northwest please? Looking too not get taken the pi** out of for my 38k Auto gearbox oil service

Hi - anyone had this completed recently, a few questions please: 1. How much did you pay? 2. Where was is it done? 3. What exactly did it entail (just oil or other items like filter, seal, drain plug etc, etc? 4. Anyone any information on non Audi garages that comply with the spec? In a nutshell I know Audi is not cheap, but Jardine Motors Group Audi won't budge on £277.85 and have removed any price match offers; to be frank seems to be overly priced. Viewpoints also welcomed either way please?
-
Oh I see, I don't get this on mine either - can only think it's an option buried away in one of the car settings menus. I'll have a look next time I'm in mine.

You will need to log out and get yourself set up as a Key User - if you purchased from an Audi dealer they should support; if not use details from here; if you dont have the key tag they can still sort: https://www.audi.co.uk/uk/web/en/owners/audi-connect/faqs/how-to-use-key-tag.html

Hello - new to forum and just seeing if anyone can help
ykes replied to Busa1400's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
Going to be an expensive car, so maybe money issues - how much and where for sale may give us a clue? -
I got mine from here £179 with tool kit: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183664404679?hash=item2ac34068c7:g:8UEAAOSwh9pa1bg0&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8MHx0i01eJUCR1eVvLVr5P3%2Ffbmxjuh7k2XW9lfIER2SAgk8QK8i77ELE%2FvFbRsZFgjLUIxl4LuniTuM8bNwnW%2FBMdl7p5ri%2BFRF3UJOa08EvQVgQORx71BodnEh0vrdXYtHbjug6lMwGsSO3QmcmhpDAyy%2Budhd3EbhxrXgPbq5clNEeOXg%2B%2FuL13IROEXl%2FknHKCGbDCIJp2OUROjOkESpJUO6QXvxRAvEY9c3YKVq7%2FUu3hAk7vXQW4UGXnR1LGjH0dDGIoT9DG8yoMWegaMrtNgpTNHLE0xju%2BDcEa7SDEmzsESZ9livNDGSPJpJfg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMwrbI3_Rh Same seller does it at £165 no tool kit.

I got one, I’ll try and look up where, got the tool kit with it as well assuming UK?

I might give that a go then; the Audi interface seems to lose favourites / recent destinations from time to time and for the life of me I cannot work out how to rename a destination ......

Just so no one else wastes their time; Audi has a server problem so if you get this message give it a few days they say: Failed loading mapcare installer. I have used this to download the latest map file and update my car before and initially did have this problem, fixed by updating Java and then finding there was a check box at the bottom of the page you needed to accept - not the case this time. Thats using both windows 10 or Mac and every browser you can think of. I could accept the option to update over the air in the car (if it works) but I would imagine it would take forever for around 20+ gig...

A6 C8 2022 Bang and Olufsen (comfort and sound pack)
ykes replied to Epistone13's topic in Audi A6 (C8) Forum
My May 2021 had comfort & sound pack option but did not come with the Pop Up's - pretty sure they were another option you had to add. The option to add these was not there when I last looked so guess they have removed it - perhaps whilst they change model years.... -
And an update on mine, took into Manchester Audi and it has been approved; parts on order. Strangely they said it comes as a kit with glass that I find hard to believe..... Mine was just the NSR quarter window, was however the side edge on the OSF door at bottom of the window going but they said not enough of the trim gone to be covered....... guess will see if it gets worse; could not be bothered to argue it. Maybe if a few get approved a UK TSB will be issued making it easier for others.

Hi Gregg, Thanks for the update that is good news; which dealer is that please? (Will bode well for others that are part of the same dealership group) Cheers, Lee
