I'm looking at viewing an a6 3.0 tdi le mans this weekend. On the advert it says it's a tiptronic paddle shift.

Can these be used as full automatic without the the need for the paddle shift or do you have to use these all the time?

Sounds like fun. At least I can use it as an auto when potting about.

Does the sport option change performance or is it just a sharper gear change like on my e46 m3?

Ok, bit of an update. I bought the car 2007 3.0 tdi quattro le mans in black.
Few questions.
It's saying a service is due, car has done 71k so what type of service would this be?

What type of mpg should I be getting as recent a road jaunt returned 34 mpg?

below the side repeaters which looks a nice touch (not sure if these were standard as new as some seem to have them and some don't? )

I thought mpg seemed about right just checking on other opinions.

Also bit of a droan noise when I'm driving as if a wheel bearing? I know the car is 2 tonne and low profile tyres probably doesn't help. Is this normal?

What would a service on this car entail?

Yeah sorry I was talking about the badges. I've just ordered 2 for £40 off eBay so not too bad.

I've just replaced the rear tyres and it has got slightly better so yeah its probably an issue with the tyres then.

Overall I'm loving the car. Comfort and speed when I need it. Anyone has a re map on theirs?

Another thing ha, how do I connect my phone to the telephone system in the car via Bluetooth. I can't see anything in the manuals I have a nd I suppose I need a pass code of some sort?

Thanks for that. Got it up and running with the 0000 passcode. Makes a massive difference not having to mess about with the phone.
