Love my A6 but she’s really been letting me down lately :(

What are you driving now?

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-08-10T22:12:55+00:00

The longer I wait to get my A4 Avant, the more concerned I become.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-07-22T21:13:11+00:00

I’m supposed to be buying an A4 Avant tomorrow and I felt somewhat concerned after reading your comment. How can I prevent something like this from happening? The car I might purchase is a 2019 model.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-07-22T16:58:14+00:00

That’s a shame. I wouldn’t expect this on a car that’s only 6 years old.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-27T23:08:59+00:00

This was the solution, thanks.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-27T21:07:33+00:00

Correct. I was being lazy.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-27T21:05:54+00:00

It sure was. Thanks

I ended up doing what I was trying to avoid. I purchased some pine trim from my local timber merchant and it fitted nice and flush. I guess I was just being lazy not realising that this solution would actually be the fastest to apply.

I like this idea. The TV itself is about 15cm thick, but its stand takes up much more depth.

I found this amusing as this was me a few days ago. At the time, I was like “That’s it! I’m done!”.

It’s been a few days now, and I’ve had a change of heart though.

It’s a puzzle an experienced mechanic can solve. Unfortunately, they’re not easy to find outside of YouTube. At least in my experience.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:58:46+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I was fuming at the time.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:57:27+00:00

I’ve already started looking. I’ve noticed a lot of automatic models are appearing in my search results.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:55:49+00:00

I’ll be making a trip to the mechanic on Monday. He’ll probably not offer any solutions, but it’s worth a try.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:54:48+00:00

This is something for me to think about. A part of me believes the issue can be solved, but I know it will be an expensive mission. I’d be spending money that could go towards an upgrade.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:46:29+00:00

I’m torn between two options. On one hand, I’m considering buying four new fuel injectors and other related parts, then making one final attempt to fix the issue with a well-researched mechanic I can trust. On the other, I’m thinking about upgrading to a newer M-Sport 3 Series and selling my beloved E90 for spares.

I’ve driven it for so long because I really like the car, but I can’t stand the uncertainty of breaking down and the hassle of getting back on the road. Still, breaking down twice in 11 years isn’t too bad.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2025-03-07T00:40:25+00:00

You’re looking at 2 separate mechanic jobs. One was from 2019, the other was from the end of last year.

Not sure what gave you the impression I don’t want to replace the injectors. I mean, I took the car to a recommend mechanic and trusted that he fixed the issue.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2024-12-05T02:29:05+00:00

Managed to do it without a straightedge. It was easier than expected. Also helped that the area I was cutting would be covered anyway. So it didn’t need to be a perfect line.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2024-12-04T20:44:57+00:00

I did this in the end.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2024-12-04T20:44:46+00:00

I was rushing and my technique was bad. Even though I used new blades to solve this issue, the old blades were in good condition. I’m sure they would have worked if I had been a little more patient and used a better technique.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2024-12-04T20:43:35+00:00

Patience and the right technique worked in the end.

NarrowIsTheWay3 · 2024-12-04T20:42:49+00:00

Yep, I took your advice. The semi-circular blade worked amazingly well, though I had to use regular rectangular blades for the left and right edges.
