  1. I'd definitely look at the battery as a failing battery can cause starting issues especially if you're running heating systems etc whilst on start up. Companies like Halfords offer a free battery test. The usual life of a battery is 5-7 years. But if it's at the dealer they should find it. It's definitely in the best place.
  2. I definitely would recommend a diagnostic check. But I wonder if the gearbox module is on the way out. Or the selector.
  3. Yu might find that the area is blank on purpose as uk spec cars do vary from European ones. Is in Europe they have to carry breath test equipment, bulbs, hi vis jackets ect by law. Whereas we don't.
  4. Yep I believe it would need to be coded. You've listed tbe bits you need 👍 not sure if it would be different but make sure the airbag connectors are the same as yours with any seats you buy. The heater elements are in the seats I believe.
  5. Found this link. Which might help: https://imgvehicle.com/audi/a6-c6/fuse-box
  6. Sounds like some great plans 👍 would be interested to see the finished radio upgrade ☺️
  7. Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ not surprised you're excited, I know I would be! Sounds a nice spec 👍
  8. Welcome to the forum Kev, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 I'm sure you'll be pleased with your Audi when it arrives 🙂 My a6 has the 2.5 lump 👍
  9. Simply Audi will be on the 16th April 2023. It's definitely the best show of the season so who's interested? https://www.beaulieu.co.uk/events/simply-audi/ Please let me know if you'd like to come and I'll add you to the list ☺️ 1. Steve Q 2. Jack 3. Stuart
  10. At least my Audi should attend this time compared to last year lol.
  11. You're welcome, sorry they do t fit. I bought a stainless one for my Ford kuga from ebay so might be with trying there too.
  12. Yep it could be thinking about it. Or a relay or module
  13. I'd recommend rgm my dad has had them on his mercs and they're good quality. Here's the link to the q2 one: https://rgmautomotive.co.uk/product/abs-rgm-rearguard-audi-q2/
  14. Getting it checked by a professional is definitely the best course of action you're taking. Is the steering electric or hydraulic? If it's the former then a failing battery could be causing an issue. Especially as the battery would have to work harder when moving the car at slower speeds when parking etc And it's definitely worth getting the battery checked. I admit this doesn't explain the knocking noise. If it's hydraulic (most likely) then it could be a pump or pulley issue.
  15. I believe you'll have to change the headlight.
  16. It is definitely the best Audi show of the year 👍 and good value for money when you consider you get access to the museum and manor house.
  17. You're welcome ☺️ wow really I wouldn't be surprised! My advice for security would be to a ghost alarm. My mate has one on his campervan and it's a neat bit of kit.
  18. Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch ☺️ Sorry to hear of your issues, the sat nav one is definitely common and is as you say linked to the antenna. Regarding software updates I'd advise you get Audi to do this for your peace of mind.
  19. What you should have is the spare wheel or tyre weld, compressor, wheel jack, locking wheel nut and towing eye.
  20. Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't started looking at the 22 shows yet. Will do now though. I'll definitely be attending.
  21. I'd definitely recommend having the system fully bled first. Then check all rubber coolant hoses.
  22. I'm surprised it didn't come with a dipstick. I've found two on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A5-8T-A6-C7-2-0-TDi-Oil-Dipstick-Dip-Stick-New-Genuine-03L115611AC-/133532394986?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A6-C7-3-0-V6-TDI-Diesel-Engine-Oil-Dip-Stick-New-Genuine-059115611AM-/133392853196?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
  23. If the car is still under warranty it's definitely worth getting Audi to take a look. I appreciate that's unlikely as we're nearly at the end of 2021 now.
  24. I do t believe it's possible due to the door being pillarless. Plus even if you could they would probably foul on the window when it automatically goes up/down when the doors open/close. https://www.a5oc.com/threads/rs5-a5-door-wind-deflectors.76250/
  25. This might help: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php/135763-Rear-LED-failure-on-outer-rear-indicators-part-of-main-tail-light-cluster You might have to change the light unit.
