Welcome to the forum :) you'll find the guys and gels on here are a friendly bunch :) 

I'm not surprised your excited! The a7 is a lovely car. Whites a great colour for it and even better it's the black edition :) 

unsure about the camera but I think the folding mirror feature can be retro fitted. 

Cheers

Steve 

Thanks for the reply :) 

what's even more bizarre is that there have been no warning lights on the dash when it happens. 

As the total says really. My a6 has developed an intermittent brake issue. When I apply the brakes the pedal goes nearly to the floor. It's almost as if there is low pressure. 

Iv never lost the brakes completely they're just not responding as normal sometimes. 

The brake discs and pads are fine

no brake fluid leaking and brake fluid was blead and changed in March. 

My local garage is wondering if it's the abs pump but has anyone got any ideas? 

Im currently doing Russian roulette ATM as I never know when it's going to happen! 

Your welcome :) 

Welcome to the forum :) I believe when you select s no matter what mode you have it in you'll get full hp. 

Further info on this one, we are too late to submit an entry for a club stand as entries had to be in by the 31st March. But anyone intending to go to this? 

Welcome to the forum :) you'll find the guys and gels on hear are a friendly and helpful bunch :)

Car Salesman  Been with Ford and Mazda and now with a used car superstore which I've started today.  Not something I ever picture myself doing being a retail manager in the past but great fun, moneys pretty decent and lots of toys to play with. 

Iv worked in car sales and service so I feel your pain! 

The hours were a killer!!

I thought i make all you jealouse (or not ) , i work here...

Anyone wanna guess what is it ?

 

I don't know but il guess! 

Is it maclaran? 

Your welcome :) glad we could help :) 

She'll be clean you can be sure of that! 

Exactly! I worry she'll stand out like a sore thumb being stock! 

My concern of modding the engine when it's covered such high miles is that it will effect it for the worse long term than the better. The engine has never been apart and has its original headgasket, cylinders/pistons, valves, cams etc. It's only had it's regular servicing! 

But have to agre would will be interesting to see what mods are available. 

I hoping we can get at least 5 cars for the display! 

Issues with egr & egr coolers are common on modern vag Diesel engines unfortunately. I worked in a vw service department that's how I know. 

He loves it! :) it's all good fun :)

That's true! 

Auto detailing place maybe? 

That's true! I would like rs6 style rims but that's predictable lol! 

Deffo will get a full valet don't worry :D 

They do seem very cheap! I can't say iv heard of the brand but I'm not a tyre guru. 

As the ago old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

on the other hand they could be old stock and they are running out of time to sell them.

Tyres are now date stamped I believe as to year of manufacture. They recommend that you don't use tyres over 7  years old. 

But on the other hand I have an old Ford escort which does 1800 miles a year and iv got tyres that are over 7 years old and have not had any issues (yet!)

A set of nice wheels steve ?

Less is more imo.

 

True, but I had intended to keep her stock. I not normally boring with cars but my dad bought it new so the car means a lot to me in stock form. If I put new rims on it, I'd have to lower it ;) 

Yea dan! Get a sense of humour will ya! :p lol (jokes) 

on a more serious matter, it has come to my attention (and not recently I may add) that my a6 is standard and I am attending VAG Tuner Live in July! 

Now the question is do I add roofbars and surfboard, bonnet bra and headlight brows to my a6 to make it look "modded" or not? 

What do you all think? 

I wont be doing any Mechanical mods as I don't think the engine will take it (it is on 321,000 miles after all!)

Ooh nice one. Mines on half that. Burn I have aspirations haha

Thanks! :) 

the question I'm debating for the show, is so I make my a6 more interesting by adding roofbars and having a surfboard, add a bonnet bra and headlight brows. What do you think?
