Re: Subframe alinement
There are some holes in all the members that must align so that you can slide a cylinder in (VAG tool). You can improvise the tool.

Not sure it's relevant to to the A6 but on the A4 models you can use the wheel brace that comes with the car as the perfect alignment tool .
BTW you need two of them .

It's pretty obvious when you're looking at it. It's the 1 inch holes that look like they have no purpose.
