Thanks Piotr :) I'll have to find out if it'll fit :)

Ah nice one! Hope you enjoy it :)

Darn it, my phone won't open the file! :/ Im amazed Leicester has achieved this to be honest!

Welcome to the forum Andrew :) what do you do at audi? I see you.live in the east mods. Where abouts? :) Cheers Steve

That's a rare car now! The escort was/is my first car! Can't bate to get rid of it!

That's true! And yep the glass unscrews :)

Not a problem Dan, glad I could help :) whatsome people have done is fit the aux in one of the blanking plates above the radio, next to the cupholder. One if the buttons should be your esp. But if it's anything like mine then the other 2 could be blanked off with plastic. If that makes sense? I believe the c5 predates Bluetooth so you may have to buy an after market kit like parrot or change your head unit. Cheers Steve

Oops I'll have a look! I have suspicion that it is hella. It's a 1993 escort and it's the passenger side one that's broken. Cheers for your reply Piotr :)

Audi have announced that by 2030 they intend for all their models to be electric. This will start next year with the electric crossover and then an electric sports car. Audi also intend to improve the infrastructure for electric cars by increasing the number of charging stations across the US and Europe in preparation for their electric models. This will rival Tesla's similar charging system.

Hello all, i know it's not Audi related but.... I need some advice/help. One of my lower fog lights on my Ford escort gas got broken and I'm struggling to source a replacement :( does anyone know where I can get one? It's genuine ford and seems to be as rare as rocking horse !Removed!! By the way the pic was taken on my wedding day. My escort was used to transport me and my best man to the wedding :) Thanks in advance!!

Hi Dan welcome to the forum :) The s6 c5 is a great car, and despite it's age itll drive great as long as it's been maintained property :) I'm not too sure about fitting an aux but I have a suspension there is an socket on the back of the radio for an ad on, if that makes sense. Don't quote me on that though. Cheers Steve

Definitely don't have it done. The vag group can't force you to have it done as it's your car. With regard to compensation I think it will be very unlikely that anyone in Europe will get anything as technically non of the VAG cars actually breached European emissions rules and regs despite the cheat device this is why we can opt out. It's more the dishonesty that the EU is annoyed about. We are not as strict here in europe compared to the US.

Hmm I'm not sure then, sorry. Cheers Steve

That's not bad for a 16 year old car :)

That's good to hear Rob! :) Bet you can't wait! :) Cheers Steve

Thanks! Mines completely stock as a rock :) your c5 looks to be in great condition :)

Hey Andrew is your a6 telling you the drivers door is open?

Figure

Hi Rob I believe the bumpers are completely different but don't quote me on that. Cheers Steve

She looks great Andrew! :) What mileage is on your a6? :)

Thanks Trevor :) Certainly was a great day Trevor :) it's a shame more members didn't turn out. Cheers Steve :)

Welcome to the forum Antony :) You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Sorry to hear your having issues. I believe the water getting into the battery compartment and footwell is caused by the water channels being blocked by debris, leaves, dirt etc. Once the water starts seeping into the cabin in interacts with the electrical systems which run behind the dash. The a6 has a fuse box on either side of the dash. The ends of the dash pull off to reveal the fuses etc. It then causes havok with the systems. My best advice is to get an auto electrician on the case but I suspect it could have affected the module for the central locking. Sorry I can't help more. Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Andrew :) You'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) Great choice if Audi! I do love the c5 and love those wheels :) Cheers Steve

Thanks Graham, certainly was a good day! :) And Sounds good, I think there are quite a few members in the south that would be interested :) I'll be sorting out next year's major shows once I've got confirmed dates for them all :) Cheers Steve
