My advice would be to contact the supplier or get an auto electrician to fit it. But factor in £500 for fitting
-
They can be retrofitted but it's not cheap to do. Think you'd be looking £400 odd quid in my opinion.
-
You'll get minimum gains tbh. But it's a filter with a life time warranty (,or used to be). You'd only see a benefit if you added a cat back sports exhaust abd remap to be honest. Bare in mind it would be classed as a mod too so insurance would need to be notified.
-
Been looking online but not finding anything. My advice would be to speak to the dealer who supplied the car.
-
If it's a 2017 model I dont think it will as it became more standard in 2018 onwards. You can get it retrofitted but it's not cheap.

2012 B8.5 AUDI S4 oil cooler slightly seeping oil
Steve Q replied to Matt R's topic in Audi A4 (B8) Forum
Weeping is ok, but definitely keep an eye on it as you can bet it'll start leaking in the future. The cure will be a new gasket. -
Normally fitting larger wheels regardless of tyre firms up the ride unfortunately.
-
Might sound daft, but you could always try pulling the fuse, as long as you've got the radio code. In failing that you could speak to any auto electrician or Audi specialist. You could go to Audi but they'll want big bucks.

I'd definitely try ebay first, as it's always my first port of call. I'd also set it to international too, to vary the search. Sorry I can't help more, but I do feel your pain as I've been experiencing similar issues with my a6 c5 with other components. Cheers Steve
-
I think the circuit boards are known to fail due to corrosion. As to how to get it out if the screw is just spinning is an interesting one.
-
All the wiring and electronics run along the bulkhead. I'd check to see if any of it is wet. Wet front footwells is a good giveaway. Water gets in via the battery tray if the battery tray drains get blocked.
-
I would personally try the gearbox service first as you'd be surprised how many times this resolves the problem. In failing that you could find a used part but it might need coding to the car. Cheers Steve
-
My advice would be to get a diagnostic check varied out. Rough running could be caused by a failing maf Sensor.
-
The 2.5 is a great lump and gave it in my a6 c5 which is on 335k. A shaking engine could be an engine mount as it was in my case. The engines can take a while to start like mine which I think is the glow plugs or injectors, and new ones can speed up starting. Cheers Steve
-
My advice would be to try ebay. I'm guessing it's for the air intake system/airbox? The 1.8 engine was used in various vag cars over a long production run so hopefully you'll find one easily enough
-
You're in the same boat as me. Im keeping my a6 c5 forever and finding parts now becoming harder to find as a lot aren't being made anymore.
-
I'm going to assume it's not leaking coolant abd temp gauge is normal. In which case I'd guess a sensor is failing abd a diagnostic check might be a good idea to see what fault codes flag up. Cheers Steve
-
It might be worth you speaking to the finance company if you're not getting anywhere with Audi. Along the lines it's not fit for purpose especially as it's applying the brakes for no reason. My other advice would be to get it booked into for a longer period abd get a courtesy car. That way you have leverage as they'll want the courtesy car back, but if your cars not fixed then they won't get it back if you see what I mean. Cheers Steve
-
Sounds like an antenna issue. Not 💯 sure but I've looked at getting the similar head unit to my a6 c5 abd think I need a different antenna. Cheers Steve
-
Depending on your model of Audi, you could fit s line springs and shocks which would lower it 30mm. Don't forget to get your tracking down after you fit any lowing kit. Cheers Steve
-
Sounds like the power is too low for the car to register them. So either a resistor will be needed but bear in mind the law is changing around headlight modifications. Cheers Steve

Audi's in the park 12 chat thread 08/08/21
Steve Q replied to Steve Q's topic in National Shows & Events
Yep intending to go to this one too ☺️ they're literally a week apart. Will be booking a hotel for simply Audi. -
No probs

A6 C5 Avant Passenger Airbag off and cannot switch back on!
Steve Q replied to A6TOM's topic in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
Sounds like a wiring issue, or issue with the switch internals. My advice would be to speak to an auto lock smiths as ordering a replacement from Audi will be costly. -
LOL OH DEAR MEEEE A6 C5 1.8T QUATTRO AVANT
Steve Q replied to audia4b5kev's topic in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
Of no Kev! What's your plans with this one?
