Audi has stopped offering the A4 Allroad, A6 Allroad, and A1 Citycarver in the UK market and has no plans on bringing future generations as confirmed by an Audi UK spokesperson. As reported by Autocar, the decision was taken due to the slow sales of the Allroad models. In 2021, Audi sold only 292 units of the A4 Allroad and 256 units of the A6 Allroad, accounting for 3.3 percent and 4.4 percent of the A4 and the A6 total sales respectively. Even the more expensive RS4 and RS6 sold more units than the equivalent Allroads, showing that UK buyers are more attracted to performance rather than crossover wagons. Besides the Allroad range, Audi has also dropped the A1 Citycarver from its UK website. This could mean that UK buyers won’t be getting the upcoming A3 Citycarver / Allroad that has been spotted testing with crossover styling cues. For the rest of the world, Allroad models are not going anywhere, since Audi will soon unveil the facelifted A6 range including the A6 Allroad, followed by a brand-new generation of the A4 in 2023. Audi is not the first automaker that doesn’t offer its crossover wagons in the UK, since Mercedes-Benz decided not to bring the E-Class All-Terrain and C-Class All-Terrain, while the VW Group has discontinued the VW Passat Alltrack and the Skoda Octavia Scout. There is still hope for fans of raised wagons though, since the VW Golf Alltrack, the Volvo V90 Cross Country, and the Subaru Outback are still available. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.carscoops.com/2022/02/audi-a4-and-a6-allroad-and-a1-citycarver-discontinued-from-the-uk-due-to-slow-sales/amp/

The new, facelifted Audi A6 has been spotted testing on public roads by our spy photographers. The images show a saloon variant of the popular executive car sporting a black and white livery at the front and rear to obscure the model’s revised lines, with the mid-section of the car left uncovered. The precise details of the model’s new look are not clearly visible, but the A6 will gain a subtle styling update over its predecessor. The front end features a newly designed, bulky front grille, sharp headlights and revised air intakes. At the rear, the lower bumper now appears to be lower to the ground and the rear lights have been reshaped. The current A6 has been on sale since 2018 in saloon and Avant estate bodystyles. Both of the prototypes photographed were saloon models. Audi has not yet detailed powertrain information for the new A6, but it’s expected that the model will retain its range of petrol and diesel engines. The A6 was Audi’s ninth most popular car in terms of sales last year, selling 5789 units and outselling the Audi Q4 E-tron, the Audi Q7 and the Audi TT. The rugged A6 Allroad was recently removed from the line-up, with Audi citing slow sales. The model sold just 256 units in the UK in 2021 – less than half of the number of performance RS6 Avants sold in the same period. Audi previewed the potential future direction for the A6 in 2021 when it revealed the A6 E-tron Concept, based on the firm’s PPE platform. The concept had Quattro all-wheel drive, with an electric motor on each wheel, 435 miles of range and a total power output of 462bhp. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2023-audi-a6-facelift-spotted-during-road-tests

You should be able to attach an aux lead to the back of the radio. There should be YouTube videos on it.

No probs at all 🙂

When I worked at Volkswagen we had to plug the cars into a computer linked directly to Germany to activate nav. This was back in 2017. If the other way works then that's great 👍

Some members have used autologics for retrofits including reverse cameras etc.

You do have to go to an Audi dealer to get it set up. It'll cost you around £500.

I do not believe it'll park itself. The system is just sensors on the mmi display. As per this link: https://www.audihelp.com/auda-72-audi_parking_system_plus.html There are YouTube videos for it too.

Members have used autologics too for reverse cameras for similar money too.

You could look at just changing the rear valance instead of the whole bumper. Here's a guy that's done that: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-b9-platform-discussion-212/retrofitting-revised-rear-valence-assembly-non-2019-model-2964384/page2/ In theory the rear bumper should be in a direct fit abd all the bolt on holes in should be there.

It's a common problem and I do t believe Audi don't know about it. Here's a link to another thread: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/tt-mk1-discussion-9/condensation-boot-ttr-1940747/

No probs.

You're welcome. Pleased to hear this forum helped you 🙂

Not sure which oil you'll need but CVT is a different type of gearbox to dsg. Here's the oil change and oil type of a CVT: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-c7-platform-discussion-194/a6c7-2015-cvt-2-0-fwd-2964451/

You're welcome. Yep it doesn't reflect well at all. I hope you have some success with playing around with the settings.

I believe there could be two versions of b&o. You could get it booked in but I won't be surprised if it's working normally. However others have had issues. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/audi-a5-s5-rs5-coupe-cabrio-b9-220/bang-olufsen-system-cuts-bass-3021437/ https://www.a5oc.com/threads/turn-up-the-bass.141610/

I'd definitely be looking at getting the suspension airbag replaced as this is most likely the culprit. Any competent garage should be able to do this.

Any pictures Alan? I'm so sorry for your situation.

Are you referring to doing a facelift of your current a1 from the same 8x platform? (Facelift from 2015 onwards) If so yes the bumpers and lights etc will fit. But you'll need to get parts hardwired in abd coded to the car. If you're wanting your current a1 to look like the second generation model (2018-onwards) then this won't be possible unless you've got seriously deep pockets as they're completely different cars. Be mindful though that doing these alterations could affect the vehicles saleability as it won't look as it should as per the Vin etc. Buyers and dealers can be funny about these things.

General

Glad you got sorted ☺️
