Audi Alun

Hi, Thank you for your 'insider information', much appreciated. I will consider this when it is the right time to see what the main dealer has to offer. My first MOT is in July 2023, so at that point I will be with a warranty. However, I am considering the renewing of the warranty for another year (or possibly longer) along with a pre-payment service option. This will (hopefully) provide a continuous 'main dealer' service history so that when I come to sell my car, I hopefully will get a slightly higher resale value for the vehicle. And as you rightly state, it will allow me to obtain a reasonable standard of goodwill from the main dealer when dealing with both servicing and resale of the car. Once again, thank you for your observations and insight.

Gareth, Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. Last oil change was in June 2023 at 19,000 miles. I have taken your comments onboard and will do a bit more research with my 'non main dealer' to see if he is capable of accessing the VAG system. Regards Alun

1.9 turbo diesel, 21 plate Black Edition A6. Message on dash says change oil. Car coming up to almost 29,00 and the car is 2.5 yrs old. So, questions. 1. Do I have to take my car to a main dealer to change the oil to keep any warranty. 2. Can I take it to a garage of my choice and get the oil changed (at a much cheaper cost) whilst still retaining the warranty? 3. Once the oil is changed, does the dashboard message automatically reset (turn off), ........or does this have to be done by a main dealer garage (at I assume a silly cost)?

Gary I bought black badges (decals) for my A6 from Aliexpress.com and fitted them myself. a4 black decals - Buy a4 black decals with free shipping on AliExpress Delivery time is about 2 weeks, but, cheap as chips (you'll like that being a Scotsman.....lol) and will genuinely fit you vehicle. If you buy them from the website, you can fit them yourself. There are many videos on faithful You Tube on how to fit them. The key is to warm the badges up to ease the removal coz they are stuck on with double sided sticky tape. Hope this helps.

Audi A6 - Black Edition 40 TDi 2021 plate. Been driving Audis for 16 years. Its my 6th Audi and my 4th A6. I'm in love with my car I know its early, but I've been made aware via 'myAudi' app that my 'Licence' for the navigation and infotainment service is due in July of next year (the car will be three years old at that point in time). It states that the cost is 'from' £16.50 incl vat., so is that per month (probably) or is that an annual cost? Can anyone advise me on this matter. As an aside - the Audi connect remote and control service expires in July 2031.

I'm looking to bling my car up with full width dynamic rear lights. Where the black trim is running across the back of the car in and between the light clusters I have bought a dynamic lighting kit. I've looked on YouTube to check out for any videos on how to install and found a few, but none that actually show how to connect the wiring to what connections within the car. Does anyone have an idea or can they provide a wiring diagram of where I should be connecting to? Thank you in advance.
