Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 no wonder you can't wait, sounds a lovely car.

My first port of call for any parts is eBay. Specifically try eBay Germany.

What's the service history. Especially with the gearbox? Tyres have they got matching tread and same brands. As uneven wear can damage the quattro system.

Definitely dangerous, they'll only get rid of the system once multiple people are killed. Just like smart motorways.

Please keep us posted on how you get on 🙂

Glad you got sorted 🙂

I'd recommend only buying genuine new or reconditioned. Don't buy cheap Chinese nonsense as it'll only fail in a short amount of time.

You're welcome 🙂

Oo good point, I know a lot of cars have now got anti tamper/anti Syphon systems. Would probably work on my old A6.

Well I've learned something new today 😃

Rangers aren't reliable. My mechanic bought one new. It has to have a full new adblue system at 2 weeks old! You see I only like to buy approved used if possible. We always had more issues from non approve than approved used cars.

Glad you're prepared 😊

That's good then, glad it's sorted 🙂

Could it be the expansion tank cap? Sometimes the seal fails.

I don't believe there is a fix. Take a look at this link: http://www.ozaudi.com/forums/showthread.php/52840-Squeaky-RS3-Brakes-Have-yours-been-fixed-How

The glow plug module on the 2.0 diesel Q5 is located in the plenum chamber, so the area behind the bulkhead under the plastic shield

I'd speak to Audi. Or alternatively speak to Westfalia who I believe are the manufacturer used by Audi.

I've had a look, I'm just curious as to what's stops the pellets from getting sucked into the fuel pump? I'd be tempted to give it a go as long as they're not sucked into the fuel pump.

We're the TPMS sensors transferred to the new wheels?
-
Holy moly! Good job you caught this when you did. This is clearly a new concern for all adblue fitted cars.

A6 gearbox issue Replace / leave be / sell or identify
Steve Q replied to yakdriver's topic in Audi A6 (C7) Forum
I'm assuming it's an s tronic gearbox. They're not cheap to replace or refurb. Second hand ones on eBay are from £1k-2.5k. The main causes for failure is due to the gearbox oil not being changed when it should. Or the module failing. For peace of mind you could bite the bullet and get Audi to do a diagnosis. -
The major problems the allroads have is with the air suspension. In theory a standard A6 Quattro would be as good in snow as the allroad but not off-road obviously.
