Thanks Paul :)

Welcome to the forum Gary, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) As long as the a8 diesel engine is in good condition you should be fine e for passing the emissions tests as long as the DPF is fitted and working along with the cats. Also you are not allowed to have the engine management light on anymore or have any oil leaks as these are now major fails. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Andrew, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) The answer to your question is yes you can. But I'd recommend using them from a similar aged a3. I say this as the facelifted model a3 maybe slightly different. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Ant, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) A good start for an improvement on power and potentially mpg would be a remap. This will improve the drivability of the car :) Cheers Steve

Following on from my Audi barn finds thread, I thought I'd do a thread on Audi emergency service vehicles from around the globe. Enjoy!

You're welcome :) Well I just had the brake vacuum pump replaced as I had brake failure which cost me over £300. Feel free to post it up for sale on the forum but don't forget to add pics and a price :) Cheers Steve

Correct Paul :) here's the new one. It's a spy film but not 007!

Nice one! I did have a look on autotrader and eBay and it seems one of the best a6 c5s on the market and I think the best 2.7 on the market currently. The front wings look good in no rust :)

Nice one :) best get mine sorted too! :)

Nope! It was on itv last night if that helps ;)

I'm glad you got sorted Tom and you're welcome, seeing some pics would be great :) Cheers Steve

Wow that's good going Paul! 30 years no claims!! I can't get past 5 lol 😂 I'm sure that means you'll.be at the show then 😀

I can't speak for BMW but I'm sure it was the designs for the Austin 7 we gave to the Japanese and which they built under license. I believe Austin even went to the trouble if bringing Japanese engineers back to their factories as well.

What a great walk through Tom and I'm sure it'll prove useful :) I've pinned the post to make it easier for other members to find :) sorry your post hasn't been responded to sooner. I see you're from Kuwait, don't forget to show us pics if your a7 in your country, in our Audi's from around the world thread: https://www.audiownersclub.com/forums/topic/8438-audis-from-around-the-world/ Cheers Steve

You're welcome :) It does look good, and appears to have been well looked after :) I say this as the buttons for the climate air-conditioning look good and the lacquer hasn't peeled off which is a common trait of these. As it has the climate air con, make sure it works as it'll be expensive to fix if it's not working. It's also got the sports seats and 3 spoke sports steering wheel, which may have been optional extras. I know they were an optional extra on my car. You'll notice there are 2 buttons on the steering wheel, these are to shift gears. Make sure the gear changes are smooth both in manual and auto modes as problems can be expensive to fix. I've also noticed that the cupholder has the front missing, it might be worth asking the garage if they can fit your existing a6 cupholder to the newer purchase :) Ah nice! Which part of Leicester did you live?

Glad you got sorted Joe :) Cheers Steve

Sorry to hear this Paul, let's hope you get it fixed before the show! We've still got a month! ;) To be fair I've still got to get bodywork done on my a6 too!

Now this is interesting, I would never have guessed that the AAs roots were so unique!

Welcome to the forum bLee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Wow, you've had alot of work carried out! I'm assuming the garage have done a diagnostic check? And have they checked the dpf, egr or pistons? Cheers Steve

Isle

Correct! But which one lol

Welcome to the forum Chris, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great to see a fellow c5 owner on here! :) The 2.7 is a great engine and is worth a punt, plus they are getting quite rare now! It's worth checking the service history to see what work it's had done. Obviously listen out for any wistling from the turbos and make sure there's no major hesitation when driving as turbos can be very expensive to replace! Listen out for any knocking from the front of the car which could be things such as engine mounts, suspension components or worse case a driveshaft. Is it auto or manual? Also check for signs of rust on the front wings as this can be an expensive job to replace these. In terms of electrics, make sure everything works! Ie the air con which can cost around £1000 as a worst case scenario (and is in the case with mine, hence why I don't have air con!) How come is your current a6 dead/dying? And have you got any pics? (I love to see fellow c5 owners cars!!) Cheers Steve

No extra blurring required lol 😂 This Audi was seen in teenage mutant Ninja turtles 2014 film. Here's a new one. The clue is that it's seen in a street racing film. I know how much you love them Paul!!
