Hi All
I just found Audi Sport net. Looks good.
My first post and a couple of queries.
I have acquired an A6 Avant 2005 (c5 I think) 3.0 quattro. My first Audi and I am loving every minute of it.
Except those minutes that happen to fall during the hours of darkness.
Sweet Jeezus - frightening is the only way to describe it.
In town from the drivers seat you would swear you had no lights on.
On the way back home it just about manages to illuminate road signs, not that I need to be informed I should not exceed 30 mph – I am lucky if I am doing 30. At least on the open road I am assisted by the very helpful and considerate drivers behind me, who, obviously aware and understanding of my plight attempt to assist my progress by hanging off my rear bumper and providing me with as much extra illumination as is possible.
Being of advancing years, having health problems that preclude anything apart from random hammer bashing, and also not having put a spanner on a car for so many years that it came as a great surprise to discover that battery terminal clamps are no longer 1/4" Whitworth, I am getting my "man" to fit some new Osram Xenon bulbs (how much for a ****** bulb!!!") later this week.
My question, post ramble, is: which bulb would you recommend for achieving a “whiter” DLR?
Also would buffing up the lens make a noticeable benefit to light output or is it more a cosmetic improvement?
And how do I determine which version my car is - it seems to be right on the cusp?
Ps
For the more senior members (if there are any?), my 1/4 “ “King D**k” Whitworth o/e spanner inherited from my Grandfather, is a thing of pure joy. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore, sigh.
Beautiful in design, magnificently produced, an aesthetically tactile masterpiece.
