CraigR Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Car had a trip to the Dealer today to have a little rattle looked at from the front passenger dash area, not a major thing but annoying on a long journey Technician took the car for a run, identified a loose air vent cover and promptly fixed it, 40 minutes waiting and a very happy CraigR leaving the dealers, minus said annoying noise Drove the 10 miles home, roof down and very happy, quick wash and interior cleaned. So far the diesel cab has been fantastic, a very happy buy for me and dis2 is showing just under 30mpg after 1500 miles. Out of interest AS, how is this compairing with your car, i know we have not covered a great deal of miles but from another post i believe you are also around the same mileage.

jimdiesel Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Wait till you hit 20000miles Craig. My A6 averaged just under 33mpg up until that point. Since then its averaged over 36mpg with 40 coming up with any decent run. Got 43mpg yesterday on the 60mile round trip to Knaresborugh. The performance just seems to be getting stronger and stronger with every passing mile. The 3.0TDi with the tiptronic transmission is a superb drive train.
