I’m looking into options for winter tyres and would like some feedback. Option 1 Purchase a winter tyre and swap over my summer tyre. I have found these online from Gripmax in the same size configuration I have currently (285 30 R21”) for a good price of £190 per tyre. As I will only be using them f...

I’m considering purchasing an outside car cover for my RS and wondered if anyone had any experience / feedback. I’m in the south of France and have to leave my car parked outside for 8 weeks, whilst I’m working. My main concern is the sun exposure during this time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back in February my DRC failed 1 week after collecting my car. She was dropped off back at the dealer and Covid lockdown shortly followed, resulting in my car being stuck in limbo for 3 months. Annoying they had the vehicle before lockdown was initiated but refused to work on it as I was not an esse...

Thanks Mike. You’re right.... I’m not too keen on adding extra kit that’s going to sit on view, hence why I was considering swapping the Boss out for the B&O set up.

I’m looking to upgrade the standard Bose system. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve found a garage that can fit the optional Bang & Olufsen speaker set up at £4500. I’m sure there are cheaper options out there. I did have the Bang & Olufsen system in my previous S3 and i felt like it was night a...

Legend! I knew it was missing something.

When I purchased my RS6 this year it had been de-badged. I asked the dealer to put the badges back on but they forgot and subsequently sent them in the post. The front one doesn’t appear to have a clip to attach the front grill. I asked for the clip but they said that’s all there is. Can anyone send...

I had the exact same problem 4 months ago, 36k miles. My DRC was rattling when in comfort mode. The DRC was well under pressure and there was light misting on the shocks. It’s recognised by Audi as a factory goodwill replacement. Mine was completely replaced by Audi. Push your dealer to look under t...

I had my front discs changed at 37,000 miles. They were worn to their absolute minimum. Conversely the rears didn’t need replacing according to the Audi report.

Can anyone tell me the product code for the Black Thule Edge Wingbar? Is it the 9593B for the C7?

I’ve found a couple that will deliver but it doesn’t specify if they are the specific C7 fit.

Has anyone used a small claims court against Audi. I'm trying to weigh up whether its worth going through the small claims court to recover over £3,000 in additional costs to me after my DRC failed on my RS6. Its a bit of a long story but here goes... I purchased a used approved RS6 from Hatfield Au...

I’ve just got mine back after 4 months of being stuck at Audi Hatfield with a DRC issue. All four shocks were replaced under warranty/factory good will. According to Audi it’s a known issue with the C7 DRC. Mine started with a knocking/clunking coming from the rear left and drivers side. Sent from m...

UPDATE: So finally getting somewhere... My beloved RS6 has been gathering dust in quarantine at Hatfield Audi since March. It unfortunately arrived a week before the U.K. lockdown and has sat there since the government lifted the restrictions. It turns out that on closer inspection the front discs w...
