I've always followed the mototunes method to break in a car. In my opinion the ring seal is better this way and due to finer honing patterns in modern cars there needs to be more friction to seat the rings better.

My first tank of gas got around 17 mpg. My second tank average 18.5 mpg. Seems like the mpg is improving as I break in the engine? This is mostly city and suburban driving in Comfort mode with Auto start/stop off all the time. Trying to see if I can reach 20 mpg with the next few tanks.

Dump question here.

I thought holding down the Unlock button on the FOB would roll down your windows and sunroof?

Even my old Honda Odyssey minivan has this feature.

Is it missing on the A6? Is it there but disabled? Anything I have to do to activate it?

Activate it in the MMI. Car menu, systems, and then I think central locking.

You need to enable it with VAGCOM

Couldn't find this in MMI. Do you have any further details?

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure all 2016 A6s have this.

If the menus aren't available, you will need a VCDS, Carista or one of the other Vag OBDII apps/hardware to activate them.
