Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 sorry to hear of your situation. Not sure on the c6 but I know on my c5 the 2.5tdi differences relate to the head, valves, camshafts etc and the block is the same. Has the engine been disassembled to diagnose it fully?

Day 1 - 17/09/22 We left Donington Park race circuit and headed along the M1 & M25 for the channel tunnel as Ronan had been racing and finished 2nd in class. We made good time to the tunnel and managed to get on 2 trains earlier than planned, which was great! During the train ride through the tunnel we decided to fit the UK sticker and headlight stickers we forgot to fit before leaving the UK. Once we departed the train, we had a 30 minute drive to Dunkirk where we were staying. The drive thankfully was straightforward and the motorways are far smoother than the ones back home. You can also follow the trip on audi_a6_adventures on Instagram or audia6adventure on twitter 🙂

When you say the needle flickers is it just the needle or is the engine revs definitely off.

Can't recommend companies but don't buy the cheap ones as they're all rubbish in my opinion

Hope the warranty company sort it. Make sure they don't bodge it!

You'll love it 🙂

Definitely recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. It could be the button or the electric motor.

Definitely worth letting Audi know. The more that report the issue the more likely they'll make a recall.

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. Worth getting the MAF and lambda sensor looked at.

Stance plus is what my mate had on his 8v and swore by them 👍

Unfortunately these older Audi's are no longer supported by Audi. I'm in the same boat so I know how you feel. I'd recommend looking on eBay

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Daytona grey is such a great colour 🙂

When was it changed? Hmm, the only thing I could advise is get it booked in at Audi as their diagnostic machine is more in-depth. Plus they'll be able to do the software update.

Can't say I've heard of other cases, however this cannot be a wear and tear issue when the components shouldn't break away like that. It's definitely a fire risk.

When was the gearbox oil last changed? Have you had a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up? The gearbox could be due a software update

That's very good value for £180!

Yea it's more straightforward

Audi should be able to supply you with a replacement service book. Or the electronic equivalent nowadays.

Nice one! How'd you do it?
