Hi Chris, welcome to the forum :) sorrynto hear of your situation, what are you changing to? Its probs worth you putting an ad in our for sale section :) how old is the a6? Cheers steve

Hello olgert, as has already been mentioned by magnet the shocks should be changed in pairs :) im wondering if the R8 has the metal files (metal shards) in the shocks similar to what the Audi TT mk2 had? The idea behind the metal shards was when they were magnetised it would stiffen the ride. Could be controlled by the driver from within the cabin. It was an optional extra on the mk 2 TT but I wonder if it was standard on the R8. This could be what the mechanic is referring too. Cheers Steve

Gotcha! Truthfully I think the only way you'll know if it's the socket is by buying one. But like you said that's not something you necessarily want to do if it's the wiring. The other option is to go whole hog and replace both

Good shout Darren. Meeting at donny services sounds like a good plan :) you decided to display your Audi then Darren?! ;) and im the same, iv not met anyone else from on here yet
-
Thanks Dan :) il do a full report when I return :)
-
No worries :) hmmm, what do you use the cigarette lighter for? You could be overloading the socket. The wiring can't take a great level of voltage etc.

Your welcome :)

This I would imagine some form of recall. Probably a computer software update. Cheers Steve
-
Your welcome :) oh you can't keep em clean in the poor weather!
-
Thanks Dan, dont worry I will be keeping an eye on it. If it happens again I think il have to have the servo or abs module replaced. Thanks for your advice :) cheers steve

Your most welcome :) And iv replied to your message on the show thread :)

Update garage couldn't find anything mechanically wrong with the a6. They suspect that when they did the brake fluid change in March that air may have got into the system. So after a second brake fluid change the brakes are working fine now! Fingers crossed it's all sorted and I can go to Belgium with peace of mind! Thanks for all your help all :)

Updated list :) P.S we need one more for the display!
-
Your most welcome to display your car! :) il add your name on the list! :) I think if we all meet prior to the event would be a good idea. Those who are displaying cars need to be at donington for 8am. You can buy tickets through the show website. When you're buying tickets you'll need to select the option of displaying your car and selecting the club name (audiownerclub.com) i know that feeling! Iv got a couple of jobs to do to mine also! Cheers steve
-
Il ad your name on the list :) i need a min of 5 cars for a club display :) iv put all the details on the show thread :) cheers steve
-
Your welcome! :) good choice! And I don't blame you! It can be a big job. By all means put an ad under our for sale section :) cheers steve
