Helped a work colleague do #OilService on #AudiA6 2,0 TDI - used #Sealey oil extractor to get 4,5 litres out of sump via access tube (there isn't a dipstick on this #car but there is a hole for one with a removable plastic bung).

Used oil from #diesel engine is not pleasant stuff, (I need to redo the GHS labels on the repurposed pop bottles as some oil spilled down the side and obliterated them) it is also hard to see the level in the extractor due to the sunlight

4,5 litres new 5W30 went back in + new oil filter (in awkward place to get to even though its up top) (you have to check on the display for the oil level on this #Audi !) and service indicator reset..

Een wasmachine van €336 miljoen
Een grote internationale politieactie heeft de cryptowitwasdienst AudiA6 ontmanteld. Deze dienst was een cruciale financiële spil voor ransomwarebendes en cybercriminele netwerken wereldwijd. Naar schatting heeft het platform tussen 2022 en 2025 meer dan €336 miljoen aan crimineel vermogen witgewassen. Daarnaast beheerden de verdachten een marktplaats voor illegale diensten.

If it's this one, then you've got two things that you can wave at #Halfords for the unladen weight if they try to play the exceeding the spec card.

https://parkers.co.uk/audi/a6/avant-2011/20-tdi-ultra-se-5d/specs/

Just shy of 1.7 tonne, says Parkers. Full tank of fuel will add just shy of 0.06 tonne to that, says the back of my envelope. At 1 tonne per chock, this should still be within the limit.

Interesting that it's a weld that seems to have gone. And that those other brands don't have a cross-bar there. I wonder why Halfords adds one. It does look like the failure mode that the cross-bar is aimed at mitigating is that U piece deforming outwards and the upper plate sliding down it as it does.

Interesting that some Audi A6's come damn close to that, unladen.

An A6 Allroad Quattro 3.0 TDI comes in at 1945 kg, presumably without fuel in the tank. An A6 Saloon Quattro 2.0 TDI comes in at 1980 kg. (Figures per Parkers.)

However, I notice that Halford's own WWW site does not give a load rating for those chocks, which sets off alarm bells. And they look bloody small compared to your tyres, which is worrisome given the intended function.

Comparable steel chocks, such as the Silverline 525748 or the Heyner UltraStop Pro, seem to only have a rating of 1000 kg per chock, which will be pushing it on those particular A6s with one pair and anything left in the car. There's a greater margin with the less massive models, of course.

I'm with you on returning them, but you might find yourself up against the assertion that a laden A6 exceeds the unadvertised spec.

Which A6 is it?

Audi A6 e hybrid – kilka słów o najważniejszych opcjach i polecane wyposażenie [wideo]

Dzisiaj przyjrzymy się nowemu Audi A6 e-hybrid w warunkach, które testują nie tylko możliwości samochodu, ale i cierpliwość kierowcy.

Wybrałem się na mroźną przejażdżkę, by sprawdzić, jak ta imponująca limuzyna radzi sobie z zimową aurą i polskimi, często nieodśnieżonymi drogami. Podzielę się z Wami opinią na temat kilku kluczowych elementów wyposażenia, które mogą znacząco wpłynąć na komfort codziennego użytkowania. Porozmawiamy o zaskakującej przyczepności na śniegu, pewnym niepozornym systemie ułatwiającym manewrowanie w ciasnych uliczkach oraz o zawieszeniu, które sprawia, że podróż staje się niespodziewanie relaksująca. Zwrócę też uwagę na to, co potrafi odizolować nas od hałasu z zewnątrz i o pewnej opcji, której brak boleśnie odczułem podczas mrozów. Nie zabraknie również kilku słów o integracji z systemami multimedialnymi i moich zmaganiach z oficjalnym konfiguratorem marki.

Zapraszam do materiału.
