My mate was preparing to die on a hill arguing with me insisting this little random audi a1. 40tfsi was a 4L engine 😂 I didn't know exactly what it was but was certain it didn't have a 4L engine 😂 30 seconds on autotrader ended that dispute 😂
I am a bit puzzled by the manual steering column adjustment. I know it's traditional of the A6, but it should have been implemented by now to add to the luxurious personal.
Glad you addressed the 40 thing iv been wondering the same when iv seen them about, I honestly thought the same thing about 4 litre. Least we know now aha
I'm totally in agreement with the touch screen issue , they do need some getting used to. I'v an old MK6 Golf that was pretty basic so I decided to upgrade the radio for a headunit so I'd have a dab radio , sat nav , telephone and reversing camera all in one place instead of scattered all over the car with wires everywhere. It's an awesome piece of kit but can be a distraction and I would imagine dangerous in the hands of the inexperienced.
Hi Calvin That's great video thanks for posting. I have been driving the same car for 2 months now, I totally agree about the touch screen being a distraction I always wait until I'm at the traffic lights before I start to play with the screen. I am thinking about making a channel just about this car from an older persons point of view because I found all the tech so confusing. Thanks for clearing up the confusion about the 40 badge.
I've said this for a long time now Calvin - touchscreens are bloody dangerous in cars, I'm surprised they're legal. The ONLY screen you should be looking at when you're driving is the windscreen.
I have the Audi Avant 2019 with the normal controls as you were asking for, it does make things a lot easier to operate. I looked at the S Line but the cost was way too much as it was a compnay car, it was still £36 K. I bought it when the lease finished, great cars.
No, I think early DSG/S-Tronics were not great and the odd late one, everything late just wants to break, too many microchips, bet it isn't the oily bits but the nannies computers modules chips. Just a guess
@@GARRYEASTON yes but used dsgs costs around £1000 let’s say £400 to fit £1400 if it goes wrong and will need coding also due to mechatronic. ZF8s cost £300 as there is so many cars that use it. £400 to fit and let’s say £150 to code to car £850 to replace gearbox in a £20k car is not bad at all.
Now tell the people who’s watching how much that new unit would cost and to have fitted at Audi if it didn’t have a warranty,, it’s happened to a friend of mine and it’s eye watering and a common problem or so people say 👍
Milton Keynes audi are great, I walked in to the Chelmsford dealer, looking to pay cash an because I was I'm my work clothes(bricklayer) they turned their nose up , so I drove over and actually rang binca to see what you had on the way... bought a q3 black within 5 mins of getting there
May have been mentioned already but you can turn off the haptic feedback (as I have ) in the options and it does suddenly become a lot more responsive. As others have mentioned, you get used to the touch fairly quickly but the biggest issue is the fingerprint/dust magnet on the screens but also the black surround. Also the startup music can also be switched off if you don't like it.
I have a 21 plate estate A6 40TDI Black Edition, great car, got a few of the extra packs added, tour pack, sound & comfort pack and the tech pack. Very easy motorway driving easily get 55mpg, more than enough power for everyday driving but if you're pushing on I wish it had a little more power. As to the screen issue, massive fingerprint magnet so have to contantly wipe down. But you do get used to everything being touch screen I don't even think about it now when changing the temperature. I don't really use the rest of the system it has wireless Android Auto so mainly use that. Fingers crossed haven't had anything major go wrong just a central locking fault which they fixed very quickly. Just hope as it gets older the gearbox stays together!
@@duckham8668 Hey, the oil eating is a audi/vw thing. It will actually tell you in the manual that it will eat so much per some Km. VWs been doing that for as long as I can remember. 👍
Sometimes when you’re off road you can have a burger whilst driving with your knees 😂😂😂🤦♂️🚓🚓 What bugs me more about touch screens is the finger prints 🤷♂️it would drive me insane and I’d be cleaning it all the time
I have just bought the 2015 A6 S line with the lot. Also with the dial selector. Much safer. You can watch the road and select whatever you want , at the same time. It has the V6 3L TDI twin turbo,320hp and 650nm, it is a rocket , it gets 1000+ km to a 73l tank. With real exhaust tips 😂. In Australia I paid under 25% of the new cost. The best value for money ever, in my experience.
had my car since new a 19 plate exactly the same colour and s-line edition with 15000 on the clock yes i know thta is nothing and have had nothing wrong with it. touch wood. the only thing i have a problem with is that one of my key fobs has lost signal. otherwise cant moan. love it
you're saying the touch screen is not good. There are adjustments you can make (turn off he[tic feedback) in the settings to make it more responsive and it acts just as any other smartphone screen without the need to press it hard
Went from 2015 Seat Leon FR estate to a 66 plate Audi A6 estate, both with the 2.0 TDI and both manual. Couldn’t be happier with the change🤗 The Leon was a lot easier to pull through small gaps, I have to be a bit more careful with this A6😂 a friend of mine has a GTD. Great choice🤗
@@jgtemperton yeah I found it but I'm not a trader. Any other app that does exactly the same thing? I'm looking at a BMW and I really want to know what it has
My last 2 Audi's both had gearbox faults so I moved to Mercedes and now have to accept a shredded driver's seat @ less than 90k on the clock..... Come on Audi and Merc you can do better!
The reason Audi introduced the new bading like 40 TDI is because at the same time they wanted to experiment with small engines with bigger turbos. They ran the Audi A4 range on 1.4L engines and used the 35 TDI to mask how small the engine actually was. Needless to say it was a flop and we are stuck with this crappy naming.
That's because Calvin most of the so called letter in the Mercedes,is actually called artico which is not leather, but a man made material to look like leather, and guess what it doesn't last.
I have a bmw 5 series 2013 bought it with 49000 miles now 130000 I only buy tires and brakes basic things like service so I Don't understand u when u say they are not built to last
a lot of the problem with leather is people never maintain it by cleaning and treating it then it dries out and cracks especially in hot climates. I do mine 3-4 times a year putting leather balm on it to keep it supple.
The 40 badge are just Audi trying to be smart....40 is either 165 or 198 bhp. 45 is 223 or 244....they do 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60 or 70...basically it means not a lot 🤣
It’s like when the old beemers had the 3 series with all the 116i bla bla bla. Audi are trying to add as many letters and numbers to the boot lid of all there cars 😂
no, on a modern diesels there should be no smoke However the reasoning for this was so you didn't see the smoke so much also deadens the sound....PRE DPF> that is.
Audi is creating more confusion with these new ref 30 to 70 that finally means that they can put any kind of manufacturer’s motors inside like the Chinese one 😂 Audi and others are losing their soul 😢
