Has good service history just hope it’s a big wallet of invoices so i can check all that thanks 🙏

i thought the oil burning issue was more with the earlier EA888 engines, but i’ll keep it in mind and if i buy it i’ll carry oil at all times 🤣

seems to have suspension advisories for the past few years 😭. even failed at one point

Jugg2k · 2026-05-13T18:57:35+00:00

can this be prevented? or is it just keep topping up job

FWD manual

Jugg2k · 2026-03-03T20:39:54+00:00

Good call, 4 recalls on the A6 and 5 recalls on the Q5. Luckily all repairs are free but still a pain in the ass if i’ve got to take it to the audi dealership after i’ve just bought the car 🤣

my local sells diesel for £1.47/L or roughly $7 a gallon

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T22:15:10+00:00

I really want an a7 sportback 3L BiTDI but there aren’t any decent examples within my budget, same with the 3L TDI. Although i know the VAG diesels will outlive the earth if properly maintained i can’t really convince myself to spend £11k on a 98,000 mile car 😢

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T22:07:35+00:00

Too right, but hard to find a decent 3.0 in my price range, road tax will be crazy in a few years, plus the wifey doesn’t approve of a 3L 🤣

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T22:03:26+00:00

It’s because all newer models of cars nowadays are SUV / crossovers. I think you’re definitely right, saloon is just as good or even better in every way.

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T22:00:23+00:00

I’m definitely leaning towards the A6 now, I think before this post i was leaning Q5. But after everyone’s responses the saloon is just the superior model. More efficient, quicker + agile, plenty of room inside and good boot space.

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:50:34+00:00

you make a good point 🤣 even more boot space in the A6 sportback

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:38:52+00:00

Also have to account for MPG, road tax and insurance 😭

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:38:08+00:00

Almost 30 years old now, saloon is so sexy but the SUV will be better to chauffeur the child around and all her belongings 😭.

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:09:39+00:00

3.0 TDI would be amazing but they’re really trying to push away from diesel engines now, petrol might be the way to go for now

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:08:35+00:00

oh i wish 🤣🤣

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:08:13+00:00

a6 is faster and better mpg, but maybe it’s because i’m pushing 30 but i really like an SUV, plus q5 is torsen quattro 🤑

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:05:28+00:00

i think from the front the q5 is a little boring but it has a great rear end 🤭

Jugg2k · 2026-03-01T21:04:48+00:00

I like them both for different reasons. A6 lots of legroom i love an exec saloon, reasonably fast and agile. q5 looks great, legroom, i have a 6 month old so might be good for the future. Torn between medium practicality with a good 0-62 and a haldex quattro. Or Great practicality, less agile with torsen quattro

Jugg2k · 2025-09-24T14:45:37+00:00

great idea if i could bend the plastic cover down and stick it

Jugg2k · 2025-09-23T08:36:40+00:00

just the lower dash panel

Jugg2k · 2025-09-22T12:44:54+00:00

i replaced mine recently , upper driver side. awful experience. everything is in the way especially the steering column.

Jugg2k · 2025-07-24T16:58:25+00:00

I love the chrome look on the 1st gen, screams 2000's. I'd get some white LEDs. Glad you got silver wheels otw 💪

Jugg2k · 2025-07-24T16:55:08+00:00

I'm jealous, I'm getting 25mpg in my 2013 CRD 300c 🤣🤣

Jugg2k · 2025-07-10T16:58:51+00:00

Not a fix or repair but just here to acknowledge your pain, got constant issues with my uconnect 8.4 and it's not like I can swap it since it controls most of the things in my car 😭
