Steve Q

Welcome to the forum Damian :) sorry to hear your having issues. As you've seen the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) cheers steve

This 1996 Audi A6 2.6 is owned by fellow member Sam1977 who lives in Gibraltar and who has kindly allowed me to share the image on this topic. He is the second owner and the car has covered 250,000kms!

Thanks Sam, il add it to the topic :) hmm, I don't think they would bolt straight in. However if you put the runners off your current seats and fitted them to the new seats, then they'd fit :) the only issue you have is whether the new or old seat electrics are compatible. That's even if it's applicable to your car or the new seats. I feel your pain with regard to the Ac not working! It's worse for you as it gets very hot in Gibraltar! My ac doesn't work and iv been quoted over £1000 to get it fixed. In my case the pump/condenser is bust. But it's not so bad as it's colder here most of the time but in Gibraltar you need Ac! If you then get the bodywork sorted you'll have a very smart looking a6 and one of the best out there. As I say, she's certainly going to be a classic in the not too distant future! Youve got great mileage out of yours! And thank you! I find as long as you keep on top of the maintance they'll just run and run and run! ;) the highest mileage a6 like yours I ever saw was on 494,000 miles. It was in daily service and did a commute from Scotland to London at least twice a week! All the best steve :)

Hi Ian, I'd have to agree with Trevor and would say it's the clutch or even the fly wheel. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Nigel :) nice to see someone else who lives out my way :) sorry to hear your having issues and have to agree with Trevor, I'd say it's the dials. Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Jay :) sorry to hear your having issues. Youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) i would say a wheel bearing but as it only happens at low speeds I'm stumped. Wheel bearings normally make noise when worn at high speeds. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers steve

Hi John, welcome to the forum:) sorry you've had issues already. Please keep us posted on how you get on. I find if you have a courtesy car they will be more inclined to get the car sorted as you have one of theirs. Sorry for the delayed response to your topic by the way. I'd missed the topic. Complete fault on my part. Cheers steve

You got it! Here's the next one. There is a clue: it's not from the transporter

Looking good! :) shes in very good condition including the engine bay :)

As the title says, let's see your pics of Audis from all corners of the world. The 2 rules are: 1. No internet pics i.e. From google images. 2. Pics from the UK don't count. Il start from Audis at Spa in Belgium.

It's a marvel film and the character is connected to the X Men :)

Wow, you are unlucky! That's the kind of luck I'd have! But as you say on the plus side I'm glad you got sorted and the silver lining is that without going through this chaos you would not have realised the real cause of the knocking noise. It's also allowed to check the condition of other components such as the driveshaft which can only be a good thing :) Your a6 looks in great condition for its age and you've done the right thing not scrapping it. My a6 isn't special either (just a se 2.5tdi) but just like you it means the world to me. In my case my dad bought it new in 2002 and it's covered 323,500 miles on the original engine and gearbox and has never been used as a taxi. It has been around the whole of the uk and also to France and Belgium. Your a6 will soon be a classic and I'm sure they're a rare site in Gibraltar! If I were you I wouldn't change it :) thanks for sharing your story it was a very interesting read! Very useful for other members I assure you! I'm going to be putting a new topic together of Audis from around the world. Would you mind if I used your pic of your a6 or feel free to post the pic in the topic? Cheers steve

Your welcome :)

Ah right, well at least you have aux :)

Very smart and better than that other aux socket you were going to buy :) glad you got sorted :) cheers steve

Very nice :)

Welcome to the forum Rob, youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch. I'm sure someone will be able to help you with your query :) iv moved this to the a7 section by the way to make it easier for other members :) cheers steve :)

When was your air con last serviced? And pollen filter changed? There could be stuff trapped within the system. Might be worth having the system checked. Where does the smell originate from (front or rear)? If it's front could there be a leak into the cabin under the dash? (Through the bulkhead) Cheers steve

Not sure to be honest, I'm still trying to get definitive numbers for vag Tuner Live also.

Erm, it could affect the regen being carried out. Normally it's the egr cooler that's at fault rather than the egr. Normally you change both though. Cheers steve

Missing you too Brad! But it's understandable, work can get busy!

Your welcome :) its worth replacing the relay. But like you I'm unsure if there's a module. As long as the dpf isn't nearly full it should do the Bergen ok once fixed :) in terms of the egr and egr cooler, replacing them is an expensive job. You'd probs be looking in the region of £1000. When I worked at Volkswagen in the service department it was common of VWs to come with this problem. It was mainly the 1.6 and 2.0tdi which were common. Cheers steve

Hello Matt, yes I do believe the dpf regent will not occur if the heater plugs have stopped working. Not sure if the egr problems are connected to the heater plugs not working though. But I would doubt it. Cheers steve

Your welcome :) glad it's all sorted :)

Welcome to the forum James :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you where they can :) i would suspect at 4 years old your car is due an air con regas or service. This should be done ever 2-3 years as the air con looses gas over time. A regas should cost around £35 and a full service should be around £60. On a full service they'll check for leaks and change the filter. cheers steve
