Audi A6 Headlight Deflectors and Snow Chains :: Reply
I just wondered if anybody here has used an Audi A6 in France. I am thinking of buying one (new shape, 2005 0n) but want to confirm that the headlights can be used with beam deflectors. I understand that Audi can reposition the lamps via a computer based system and that they charge a hefty fee for the pleasure. Or do you just use some tape over the lens?. I always worked on the assumption that, if there were wheels that size, there were chains to fit. The week after I got my hands on my current car, imagine my horror when I was told 'no chains available for that size'. Specially as half the reason for the choice of car was the comfort and economy of the first 600 miles - no good if I couldn't do the last 25. Apparently it was a new combination and nobody did chains for it (yet). A very helpful and knowledgeable local retailer identified a set that would fit, but it was a wobbly moment. So it might be worth just checking before you sign on the dotted line. Here's the website of a very helpful and knowledgeable..... I had the previous shape A6, and the headlamp adjustment was supposedly a trip back to the Audi garage for ~£60. However a local garage where I get most of my servicing done showed me what the dealership did, and it is just a little metal lever inside the headlamp housing that you slid up and down. to mask different sides of the beam. for the nearside it is very straightforward, but the offside needs the dismantling of some of the intake ducting using a phillips screwdriver - simple once you have done it once. I now have a Passat (as some idiot T-Boned the A6)and it is almost identical I usually do it on the ferry terminal - it takes about 10 min's. Thanks all for your replies. Pretty much got it all answered there. Suspected that chains could be purchased to fit just was not sure about them fitting around the wheels and interfering with the brake calipers and/or the wheel arches. I currently have a volvo V40 with 205 55 15 tyres but Volvo recommend...
