    Heated mirrors - Do I or don't I have?

    Seeing this thread and damaging my A6's drivers side heated mirror led me to order heated mirrors for my wife's A4 cab (2007/07). I used low-tack masking tape to protect the paintwork on the mirror covers and a sheet to protect the door paint from flying glass. Despite using the hints above both...

    New floor mats & bootliner

    I spent some time looking on ebay and google before posting here, and the one above is one that I saw. Looking at the pic, I don't think it illustrates a cabriolet as I can't see a hood box (not even sure it's an A4 saloon but never looked closely at one). The raised sides may also be an issue...

    New floor mats & bootliner

    Thanks rowdyboy. I think I should have phrased my question "Has anyone seen an Audi liner with sill protector". My wife's car is a Dolphin Grey S-line with dark carpets and I don't want anything too agricultural. I've already seen some of the high and low sided liners with sill protectors...

    Towball Clearance

    Thanks djl That fits with what the manual says for the minimum clearance between bumper and towball, assuming that my car has a factory fitted towbar (the max nose-weight stickers are in German so hope so). Btw a replacement towball doesn't come cheap at @ £150-£160 (which is why I wanted to...

    Towball Clearance

    Does anyone here have the Westfalia detachable towbar fitted to their A6 Avant (mines a 2000W)? If so could they post the clearance between the towball and rear bumper? I'm wanting to fit a 4 bike carrier, have a towbar fitted but missing towball, and want to know whether the Westfalia kit gives...

    2.8 V6 Engine

    Different engine but when I got my 2.7T (tip) it had intermittent slightly irregular idle (revs dropping to 400) and lurched occasionally when creeping in 1st or reverse manouvering out of my drive and in car-parks. Took it back to the independent who supplied it and they cleaned the throttle...

    Model advice

    At the end of last year I was looking for a 2.8 quattro Avant at £5-£6K. Nothing came up at that price in the spec I wanted (auto and dark leather)The need to return a loan car to my father-in-law left me upping the budget and buying a 2.7T Avant. I paid top whack at an independent specialist...

    Warranties

    Hi again I bought my car from an Audi specialist with a basic warranty included. This has a low payout limit of £500. I'm considering buying a warranty from one of the online companies (warrantywise/warranty direct etc) Part of this is probably "forum paranoia" from reading posts about problem...
