About the car: Audi A6 C6 (Typ 4F) saloon
The Audi A6 C6 has the internal code Typ 4F and was launched in 2004, on the Volkswagen Group C6 platform. In Germany it was built from February 2004 to June 2011. Besides the 4-door saloon, the range gained the Avant (estate) in 2005 and the allroad quattro in 2006. The facelift was presented on 12 August 2008 at the Moscow motor show and brought LED daytime running lights in the headlights and tail lights. The car that came to us is a pre-facelift saloon, without LED daytime running lights in the headlights.
The A6 C6 saloon has no roof rails, so the roof bars rest directly on the bodywork, and the fittings attach to the edge of the roof. That is why the kit is chosen by body type and year: the one used here is for the Audi A6 (4F), 4-door, 2004-2011, that is, for the saloon.
What we fitted on this Audi A6 C6
The Menabo Tema Steel roof bars for Audi A6 (4F) are designed for cars without roof rails and are fitted directly onto the car body. The bar has an oval, aerodynamic profile, 1,300 mm long, 48 mm wide and 30 mm high. The metal parts have rubberised, anti-corrosion paint, and the bars are wrapped in a protective plastic layer.
In the box you will find 4 fitting systems for the Audi A6 (4F), 4 feet, 2 steel bars, 4 anti-theft locks with keys and an Allen key, the only tool you need. The bars are TÜV and ISO approved. You can then fit a bike rack, a roof box, a ski rack or a kayak carrier to them, all secured with U-bolts on the outside of the bar, because the bar has no track on top.

Why do roof bars whistle on an Audi A6 when driving?
Any accessory fitted to the roof of an Audi A6 changes the aerodynamics of the car, and the noise depends on the profile of the bar and on speed. Bars with an oval profile, such as Menabo Tema, offer less air resistance than those with a square profile, and Menabo recommends not exceeding 130 km/h with the bars fitted.
