    Hi All

    I have an issue with the left foot rest in my Auto A6.

    I find that - in relation to the other pedals,the foot rest is too far back, so I am having to put my seat forward so my left leg can rest, yet find that my right foot is too close to the brake. on long drives I am effectively twisting my spine.
    Do any of you know of solution or have an idea on how to bring the foot rest in line with the other 2 pedals.

    Amen!! Drives me mad!! Not sure whether it's the rest is too far back or the pedals too far forward but I have exactly the same issue. I can't understand how nobody else (until now) complains about this shocking design. Id love to know of a fix too.

    I've even used a block of timber stickied to the foot rest to bring it into line and it makes a huge difference but no way should I have to be doing that in a premium car..

    My problem is the right foot rest, it takes a bit of effort to hold it to the floor...

    Yes, so I am wondering if there is something available (say fleabay or something), but couldn't find anything yet. Not sure what to search for either.

    Does anybody know if it would be ok to drill in the existing foot rest? What is behind it?

    I've looked at that option too but couldn't find anything either. I'm surprised that it's not highlighted as a much bigger issue to be honest. It's even worse in the manual version as the three pedals are squeezed in.

    I think the accelerator pedal is too far to the right as well....

    I've always thought that. It pushes your thigh against the seat bolster.
    I wonder if it's better in the C8?

    Dunno....The footrest position and pedal positions will be the first things that I'll look at though.
