Intake manifold runner fault - safe to drive?
Steve Q replied to jammycodger's topic in Audi A6 (C6) Forum
Welcome to the forum Kieran :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you where they can :) what engine is in your a6? I'm assuming it's the 3.0tdi? I believe the intake manifold swirl flap issue is a common one. And I believe you can get a repair kit which costs approx £80. This issue is mentioned in the current issue of Audi Tuner magazine. As they are have a whole buyers guide on the a6 c6 3.0tdi. Might be worth you buying it :) in terms of worst case scenario I'm unsure to be honest. But if it were me I'd get it fixed and not run the risk. Having the car go into limp mode whilst on holiday would be a nightmare! Just make sure you have break down cover. Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs! Cheers steve -
Nicely done :)

Your most welcome:)

As I say, I know it can be done as you see it in the Audi Tuner mags all the time :) could you not look at other steering wheels which were designed for your model i.e. S6 or rs6? Or the accessory wheels on offer at the time? This woukd probs be the easiest option to be honest :) cheers steve

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and approachable club :) sorry you didn't get a response from other clubs. But to be fair it can be tricky getting thenaudi community to communicate and engage with one another. However I feel on here we all are reading off the same page and are respectful and helpful towards one another :) I'm glad you've had a positive experience on here even if the outcome has prevented you from getting an a5. Btw did you see the a5 on eBay at the minute with the awesome body kit? It's a white 2.0tdi with high miles and has an s5 badge on the back? It did look lovely :) cheers steve

I would say 19" wheels would be maximum on the a4 without modifying the arches. You just need to be careful of the width of the wheel. As the wheel can catch on the arches or suspension components. You may need spacers to make different wheels fit properly. The spacers go between the hub and the wheel. Also make sure the wheel has the same stud pattern as yours (not just 5 but the width of the studs and space between each stud are the same. If that makes sense. Oh and make sure the centre hole is the same size. I think you'd be better with 18" wheels as this should cause you less of a headache for fitting as Audi would have fitted 18" wheels as standard in some cases. 19" was for the rs4, s4, s6, rs6 I believe. Hope iv helped cheers Steve :)

I would say easily anything a4 or a6 (obviously) related. Possible a3 but not sure. One thing to bare in mind is that it might not be a case of the steering wheel not fitting but more a case of the airbag connections being different and not compatible if that makes sense. Cheers steve

Hi James, yes the steering wheel should be possible. You see it done a lot in the Audi and other vag tuning mags :) I'm unsure about the gear knob though. Cheers steve

Loudest Car Exhausts in the world
Steve Q replied to limitedtraction's topic in General Chat & Banter
That a4 exhaust was awesome :) -
I think autosol might be a bit harsh. Brasso always did the trick for me :)

Welcome to the forum Kevin :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) when you get a chance, feel free to post a pick of your Audi and don't hesitate with any questions :) cheers steve

That's cool. The thing with seats is that you still get the vag build quality without the premium of paying for the badge of an Audi or Volkswagen. The government are thinking of bringing those rules in to effect with regard checking the functionality of the dpf in the MOT. Why don't you look at other Audi models? I always wanted an a6 c6 :) cheers steve

Glad I could help :) sorry if iv put you off the brand :/ to be fair the old 1.9tdi and 2.5tdi were awesome and I don't think they'll be beaten on reliability. As I say if you give them a good run once a week you'll be fine. I personally feel the vag 3.0tdi is better than the 2.0tdi but its personal preference. For me it's all about the service history. If it looks well maintained in the history you should be fine :) to be fair the a5 does drive beautifully :) it's just better I arm you with info then you going in and buying one blind. and with regard to the engines it's not really Audis fault they've had to fit dpf and egr to the engines. We can thank politicians for that! For the emissions rules and regulations. cheers steve
