Ha, yes Ian is right. £94 for the last tank but I did get 33mpg out of it. That was standard diesel but for long runs, advanced diesel is definitely better for mpg.

I have one. Great car. Nothing really to look for other than to make sure everything works. That could take a while!!

If buying used, you will get much more 2.7 for your money. At least one spec higher and fully loaded for the same money as a poverty spec 3.0. Away from the lights there is little in it (due to gearing), accelerating on the motorway the 3.0 certainly has an advantage. Cruising along on a dual...

I have the 2.7tdi Quattro and love it. You'll get a good S Line spec 2005 for around £13-£15k

These have been showing up on my radar now they are sub £30k. I just can't decide whether I want to stay in an A6 or go back to Porsche and get an early 997.

Cockney Boy, can you point me to some reports of people who have had problems? I can't find a single V6 owner(2.7 or 3.0) reporting anything but good things, from a re-map.

The reason for using two turbos is that they can be smaller so spool up quicker. Two turbos doesn't automatically equal twice the torque.

I have a 2.7tdi S Line Quattro tip saloon. Its a great car and more than enough power for what I want to use it for (normally getting somewhere briskly but comfortably). Its only had town driving for the last 3 months and is averaging 34mpg. When my driving was more mixed, the figure was high...

The bracket that holds the rubber has been put on upside down. The exhaust should hang from it, not be pushed up by it!! :rtfm:

I suspect that fitting a Xenon 'kit' will give you bulb failure alerts on the dash.

2.7 Tdi Quattro S Line here. I quite like the S Line suspension and 19s but the roads near me are in good nick. Its got full leather, full MMI with nav, Bose with 6cd, interior and exterior light packages, upgraded climate control and the small multi function wheel. A really nice luxury car.

I've got 19s and the S Line lowered suspension. Has anyone used snow chains with this combo?

There is a long thread about this on Pistonheads Audi forum. Its not good, I'm afraid.

CB you clearly have much too much time on your hands.

The first lambda down stream will be 'wide band' and these are not cheap to replace. They are critical to the fuelling and they control the mixture during warm up, to meet the EU emission target for time to warm the cats up. The lambda after the cats are generic and can be sourced for £50, if...
