Audi A6 Allroad Sport

[NickR]

That makes sense when you put it that way.

To put it in perspective, my air con on my A6 wouldn't put out heat. Belfast Audi had it for over a week and the parts and labour were in excess of £1k. Thankfully I had the Audi Approved Used warranty on it.

My A6 the air con wouldn't work and smelt like death. Again warranty to the rescue and was just shy of a grand for the cost. Glad it was there to cover it.

Most people won’t use main dealers tho for any work needing done so will never pay Audi dealer costs...
I think it comes down to how nice an example of motor you’re buying ...ie very low mileage with already full Audi Service History...

Then again I suppose Audi won’t do a warranty for unless it’s an approved used car?

Mine was bought privately.

Mine was bought privately.

I’m guessing then it would have to have a full Audi service history etc then?

When I spoke to insurewithaudi.co.uk, they said you can't be penalised for how previous owners have maintained the car and that I'd be responsible for keeping to the service schedule in my ownership only. I was still a bit hesitant but decided to trust them on that.

I don’t actually think so. They take it in and give it a give it once over to ensure there are underlying faults.

Looks great @Lyons can you raise & lower it or is it steel sprung?

 

[Rossӏmac]

Just phoned with Agnews now and they are checking this very thing. The guy on the phone things the above is wrong and as an example if the gearbox went and the service history was not there or late, then they would likely not cover it.

 

[Lyons]

You can raise and lower it from the controls. Last 2 photos in the 1st post shows the 2 extremes. I usually keep it in comfort which is 1 notch up from the lowest.

And just spoke with insurewithaudi.co.uk. Sales advisors told me the above but gave a wishwashy answer that I wasn't happy with. I pressured them to give and got through to a claims technician and he agreed with Agnews. Last post from me on warranty stuff in your thread @Lyons but thought I should correct this in case someone finds this via a random Google search!

 

[Lyons]

So are you going to take 1?

 

[Rossӏmac]

Haha I just cancelled the Audi one as my gearbox oil was 22k late at 60k. £650 for 1 year I was happy at but not if it won't cover me. I had tried to get that worked out when buying the policy and I was quite explicit in what I had but was told incorrectly that I'd be covered. Happy to get a refund today.

Might still go for Agnews, similar cost to yours if going for a 3 year desk and it is a full coverage (except for mechanical gearbox ofc, electrical issues would likely be covered as how can they be attributed to a late oil change).

Maybe at 7 years old, my car is less likely to go kaput but I just would've liked peace of mind.

Tyres fitted to the new wheels yesterday evening and thought it would be rude to wait until after winter to get them on the car, so put them on while the Kwik-Fit guy was still here. Impressive mobile service it has to be said.

They’re 21” Rotors from an A7/8. I’m not going to lie, I’m absolutely delighted with how it looks.

 

[pablo]

they do look good

@Lyons did you get yourself sorted work wise?

 

[Lyons]

Yes, ended up applying for another position in work and getting it.

You truly are the wheel ninja, I've been on the lookout for Audi 21inch alloys for 3 months now

 

[Lyons]

TGNI have a couple of sets. Circa £750 though, need a refurb and new tyres. My wheels were £440! Granted 2 need a refurb though.

 

[gary1365]

The arch liners on my car are a bit thin in a wee spot both sides and not a mark on the tyres so tyres win lol.

 

[Deleted member 13907]

That looks awesome...and I’m not usually a fan of rotors...or a6 all roads

 

[Ghisallo]

What tyres did you put on?

 

[Rossӏmac]

Looks very nice! Will you refurbish them or leave as is? Let's see an Allroad setting picture

I had Goodyear’s on a GTi a few years ago and didn’t rate them, but these were too cheap to ignore! So far so good. 255 would’ve been the sensible choice but there are far less available. Plus 265 should offer a slightly larger profile and I was nervous about comprising the ride. If anything this setup is smoother than the 20’s was.

The 2 that came from England had the lip painted silver sadly, only noticed it when they arrived. So they really need done diamond cut to match the other 2.

It’s horrendous on allroad mode

 

[Todd]

That looks brilliant Ian. The Rotors are definitely the nicest wheels for an A6.

Glad to hear you got sorted with work too.

 

[Ghisallo]

I wasn’t to replace the crappy budget 255 20” on mine for better ones, but that’s £500+ that I can’t find the will to spend .
