audi a6 avant trouble..help - portishead
A few niggles that some of you may be able to help with on my audi a6 avant 2.7T (1999)

Noise while braking...sounds like a grinding noise. Had it serviced (non dealer 140k) and rear disks replaced but the noise is still there. Is it brakes or something more sinister....

...can anyone recommend a reliable non dealer audi specialist for servicng in portishead,bristol,swindon areas?

...also my boot fitted 6CD changer has stopped. The changer itself seems to work but is not showing any response in the car...radio and tape player work.....any advice?

Many thanks in advance...

I also have an Audi A6, M reg with 130k. Last week the bracket holding the nearside rear caliper gave way, which meant new rear pads amongst other things. Makes a distinct grinding noise but this is just the friction material bedding in, I noticed it before when the discs and pads were replaced at around 80k. Nothing to worry about in my opinion, just press a bit harder to accelerate the bedding in process!

Cheers MGs
