MOT tome

Service & MOT for wifey's A6.

It's an A6 Avant 2.7T quattro auto with 210K miles on the clock.

Passed! +++

It has some slight oil leaks from where the variable cams seal into the cambox.

1 o2 probe is faulty. Needs a few other bits, but they can wait. Needs a cambelt next service!

Needed new front pads too. So I did that myself today. £52 for pads. These brakes are a really neat 4 pad per wheel design. Much easier to change than the normal 2 pad design. +++

So, not bad really.

Happy with all that.

The damn car just wafts along sooooo nicely. Unbelievably different ride to my own Y-reg A6 V6 quattro manual! Both wifey and I love driving it.

I reckon the 2.7T does about 19mpg, but let's say 20. So that's 210,000/20 = 10,500 gallons of petrol, so 47,670 litres. Assuming all at today's prices at about, what, £1.35 a litre, that's a whopping £64,354.50 :eek:

Just as well we've only put 25K miles on it. It CAN do 38 mpg at a big push and just wafting on throttle. But, 99% of the time it's probably less than 19 mpg due to the short journeys wifey does in it. :grin:
