New A6 Sline arrived. Key query.

Slowing on a motorway due to traffic buildup and the person behind didn't. Had it assessed yesterday and awaiting a booking slot for repairs. The other driver is covering the lot including replacement car. Biggest worry is the retracted tow bar that got shoved into the floor.

Oh dear! Glad you're not hurt - that's the most important thing. I had a similar experience with my last car:

Bash!!!!

The main thing is to make sure they repair it correctly, including the back of the boot cavity. If the damage is similar to mine, they will need to pull it back to an approximation of its original shape. Have you looked inside the boot under the false floor to see what the damage is? After the repair, make sure the spare wheel still fits properly in its well and that the towbar works correctly. I hope they do a better job of finishing the paintwork than I experienced!

Cheers!

Not yet seen inside the boot as once it opens it is likely not to close again. The external floor has not moved much by the tow bar but I will be all over it to ensure it is perfect.

Hi Paul,

I've just joined this great site and playing catchup. Really sorry to see what happened to you. How did it all turn out?

Hopefully the Tow bar cross member has saved you from a lot more damage. Bet the front of his is a REAL mess. Are you doing it through Audi Ensurance I believe they send it to authorised Audi repairers so it gets done properly... Good luck
