r/AudiA6

Owned few Audis during my lifetime - mostly A6 incl. C5, C6, C8, an S3 2024 and now a Q5.

I spent few months already with the new Q5 and honestly I really love it. Very quiet inside (the most quiet car I had so far), very comfy despite the 21’ wheels, the interior indeed feels premium and well thought of when you spend enough time in it. Driving wise it’s a really good car for city driving and also for a longer trip if needed. I went for the 204 TFSI quattro, it’s enough power for normal peoeple needs, for me more than enough even though I had pretty powerful cars before.
My wife really likes the passenger’s infotainment screen when on a longer trip - despite that many people call it useless.

C5 is with me since 2005 and will probably stay till my last days, lol. Never selling that car. It has 600k kilometers on the dash already with 2.5 TDI manual and it never let me down honestly with so many trips I had with it around the Europe. Fun fact: the original clutch was changed after 512k. Beside that just regular maintenance and one injector change. It’s a fantastic highway limousine.

Hey, guys. I will spare a long lamentation and how surprise and aad I am that the inyerior of the car is what it is, but let me ask a question. Is it possible to have two circular dials: speedometer and tychometer like it was/is on other car? Right now it looks empty, ungly and I am sure there is a way to occupy this bog screen with something useful and aesthetically pleasing?

Which Oil are hou using!

Love this car so much bought it about a month ago as my first car . I noticed if i put 98oct instead of 95 i have better fuel mileage is that possible or not? Also want to chip it to 300hp does anybody have the same car? I have been driving for a long time over 250 000 km but never had own car or driven an automatic before.

Maintained for another couple of weeks. Due an oil change in 2000 miles 🥰

Did anyone had this strange rattling/clicking sound issue with the engine? This sound is only when i do the cold start until the engine warms to 90 degrees. It goes away after the engine is warm

Also when i did the oil change and the filter changes, it didn't make this sound for a week and then it started ti make this sound again. Not sure what the issue can be at this point.

Engine warms up until i go to my mechanic for him to check on whats going on.

So is this common?? I just did this same job 2 years ago, and under 20k miles on these two parts. The gaskets seem to have deteriorated AGAIN, while it would be smart financially to just replace the gaskets I’ll have to order a thermostat also(I have the PCV coming in next week). I did a pressure test and sure enough both units were leaking. Not an impossible job just another round of tight spaces. Luckily the water pump is good 😅 also intake manifold, gas lines are all out this was a picture taken before I did the pressure test.

Got this beauty 7 months ago, bought with 330k kilometeres on the dash, added another 15k in the meantime, only had issues with AC compressor, which had to be replaced, and turbo actuator, which is a common fault on these engines. Did a Stage 1 on it, increased from 232hp and 500nm to around 280hp and 600nm. Check engine due to engine mount solenoid valves, will fix that too soon.

Absolutely love it csn I mirror my phone to it in any way

Hi guys - has anyone got experience changing the above? My a6 was targeted by what appears to be fuel thieves, someone managed to pull my fuel cover off.

I have ordered a replacement but can’t find much about changing it?

Just wondered if anyone has experience regarding this.
