    The New Allroad Family Wagon

    Just catching up again after ages away. Jake, I don't know if you got those wheels as there's been a change of season since, but don't forget the centre bore of the C6 was smaller than on the C7. I had those on my C6 allroad and it's a shame they wouldn't fit my C7 but I've bought a nice set...

    Ibis White & Black Wheels - Options n Opinions Please

    3,2,1,5,4 but you've probably decided already. Not a fan of two-tone but I've probably got a kipper tie somewhere too. Matte/satin finish copes with winter conditions better in my opinion.

    The New Allroad Family Wagon

    Not been on here for a while, but catching up with allroads. Like your old car and the new one too. I just wish Audi would allow a BE version of the allroad with black optics. Love your dog by the way. I too have Black Edition labs. ;) They're named after grandparents' middle names, so on...

    Data only SIM usage

    I can't take any credit for this, but someone "elsewhere" ;) has found that 3's 12GB 12 month prepaid SIM is now down to £30. Since it's specifically a data SIM (but can do SMS too) there's no issue with device incompatibility that scuppers some of their conventional voice+data SIMs and makes...

    Data only SIM usage

    I don't connect to the car's hotspot as my mobile has uncapped, unthrottled, unlimited data and use under 200MB per month mostly on the same (cached?) 5 hour route with maps, traffic and a few fuel price queries etc Freedom Pop's free 200MB SIM is just perfect, but I confess to a bit of data...

    New Audi Allroad

    I don't think you'd be disappointed by the 3 litre diesel. I have the 245 PS variant in my A6 allroad. I ordered my previous (C6) allroad the day before the last A4 allroad was announced, but went with the order as the price differential was too slim vs the spec. I wasn't disappointed. The...

    Great deal on an S6 - orange wheels save £12,000 on list price

    Yeah, I think black optics and black headlining should be an option on every car, even if not free. With chrome I have just one color option to "dilute" it - white. I've never had a BMW, but at least you can get black optics. There's also way too much chrome internally on switchgear etc. for...

    Allroad BiTDI or SQ5

    Oh yeah. Forgot to say that the raised level comes in handy on flooded roads - somewhere I wouldn't want to take an RS. Same for snow covered roads.

    Allroad BiTDI or SQ5

    A bit like asking why there are different colours! Yes you can jack it up at low speeds which are the sort of speeds you travel at on bumpy roads. Although I could probably do 70 on my drive I wouldn't want to, and it's nice to be able to make it to the house in more conditions than I could in...

    Finally found one...!

    Unique allroad (marmite) colour and you've got the upgraded 19" wheels too. Well done. I'd be interested in the roof box etc. if I were closer (I'm in Scotland), but I've got to shift some wheels and tyres from my old allroad first...

    allroad Sport

    October apparently. Don't like the split spoke effect, but I'd fit 18s with off-road tyres anyway...unless you're talking about the whole car - in which case I'd say that J Lo's got a fat ***, but....

    allroad Sport

    Just noticed a new trim level that gives Alcantara instead of cloth, bigger wheels, Xenons, privacy glass etc. Anyone know how long it's been available?

    Power tailgate

    When I got my C7 it had this feature and in the early days there were a couple of instances where I initially forced it. I've not had any issues, but would prefer if it could be deactivated as I find it slow and of no advantage. I actually wish Audi had spent a few hundred quid elsewhere and...

    C7 S6 Plug and Play Tuning System now available from DTUK

    Andrew. I think the confusion comes from the "title" in your link at the bottom of your post, compounded by the linked picture showing a diesel device despite the petrol application. Meant as positive feedback not as criticism. I'm now hoping you can find a solution for my 3 cylinder 69PS 1.2...

    Which north west dealer can match drive the deal?

    Might be worth trying Bolton Audi which is part of Inchcape who supply/have supplied DTD.
