Hi Simon, In light of your other thread in the new members section I'm guessing your Audi purchase is a done deal :) I have to say your rover looks in good nick :) the a6 will definitely be a change to the metros! Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Sorry to hear of your spinal injury. The s line seats are a sportier design as apposed to the second seats. The s line seats have more side support and leg support. I think your easiest option would be to get leather electric se seats which will bolt straight in. If you've found these more comfortable then it would make sense as im not 100% sure that a8 seats fit. Cheers Steve

Hi Jamie you'll definitely need the matching ecu for the engine but unsure about the the wiring.loom to be honest. Cheers Steve

Did you find it helped Simon?

Wow, have you met him yet then?! Very nice spec :) Erm well.it depends on the service schedule it had when new. Long life is 2 years/20k or 1 year 10k. If you run Audi they should be able to tell you. To be fair the dealer should know anyway. Cheers Steve

I don't see why windbreaks from 2013 8v onwards wouldn't fit :) my advice would be to look.on ebay :) Cheers Steve

I'm sorry to hear that, I've always found you get better service whilst being in the dealer rather than over the phone.

Trust me Paul I looked at all options and thought I'd play it safe! Believe me I looked at alot of places on the web. It's in nursling on the outskirts of Southampton my thinking being if I did have a fault I could hopefully find a garage to sort me out.

Welcome to the forum, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) I'm assuming you are looking at getting the panel filter rather than the cone filter? If you are trying to increase power then I would advise an engine remap instead as I'll improve bhp and potentially mpg. You'll only gain 5,bhp tops with an uprated panel filter.and slightly improved acceleration (in theory). Obviously if your Q7 is still within warranty than the filter may void this as it's not a genuine Audi component. Obviously the benefit would be that it never has to be replaced and you will get a lifetime warranty. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum amark, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The a6 you are looking at should be ok as it's only covered 9k miles. Luckily the car you're looking at won't be affected by the emissions recll (scandal). Is the a6 for sale at a main dealer? Either way it's worth making sure the car has full service history. Most likely will have had it's first service by now. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Truthfully I've not seen any issues with the vag keyless system it seems to be Ford that is affected. For my keyless Ford I have a Faraday pouch which I bought off eBay for 79p and it came from China and it works a treat. A metal.tin does the job just as well. Usually theives will break.ibto your home so in order to steal your keys. (Keyless Fords excluded). With any form of steering locks they will slow down the thief and will make more noise. This therefore acts more of a deterrent, ideally meaning the thief will target a more venerable car. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

It's definitely worth a shot, I found both premium fuel improved my mpg. Let us know on what results you get back from the scan at the weekend :) Cheers Steve

Adam is right Steve, your a3 will tell you on the dash when it is due for a service. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Steve, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) glad you're pleased with your a3 :) Cheers Steve

I have seen the bbs rims on other limited edition a6 cars and they look awesome! Definitely sounds a lovely spec! 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing some pics 🙂

Yea I saw that on the website this evening :) I've now booked my hotel as my brother and I are traveling down the night before. It's a 3 hour drive for us.

Fair point. Erm, there isn't a Haynes manual and the only paper manuals are from Bentley's. However I do believe you can get copies of the Audi workshop manuals on a CD from.ebay but I can't say I've used one. Cheers Steve

Wow it's stunning! :) Which magazines has it been featured in?

Welcome to the forum Tom, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great looking s3 you have there! And I'd love to see pics of your Rocco! :) Cheers Steve

As some of you are aware I was unable to participate in the rolling road day at the end of last year at street racers in Syston despite being there, due to the Audi still being rebuilt after a rear end shunt. HoweverI have now been able to do a rolling road session and I'm personally pleased with the results. Bearing in mind my a6 is 16 years old and has covered 328k and the engine has never been rebuilt or even been apart. And the car is on it's 2nd turbo, this turbo covering 258k. Please note before I did this Dyno run my a6 had had a full service and had passed it's MOT with no advisories :) So when new my a6 should have had 150bhp and on the day my a6 achieved 139bhp. This is at the flywheel. On the road this power equates to 114bhp. Torque when new should be max 310Nm whereas my a6 was producing 273Nm of torque. Hope you enjoy the pics :) Cheers Steve

Glad you've had good results, like you since putting in premium fuel it has helped mpg. Think when I go to simply Audi I'll put a full tank in and top up with Redex.

Good video there Paul :)
