    Retrofit parking sensors?

    I fitted an ebay kit with buzzer to my 55 plate A6 about 3 years ago. I colour coded them first and it took about 3 hours including the painting. I think all in it cost me £40! They have never let me down and for the money you cannot go wrong. They look just like oe items.

    MPG & performance figures for TDI engines?

    I remapped my 2.0 TDI A6 when I bought it 2 years ago at chipped UK in Bromsgrove. Best thing ever. On a run it easily gets mid 50's per gallon. Last year I drove at 70 mph all the way back from Surrey (170 miles) and got bang on 60 mpg!!! That was with 3 in the car and a boot full of...

    What's my car worth?

    Looks a lovely car....... I think it's just a weird time to be selling at the moment. Everyone is feeling the pinch and the motorist has developed into an even bigger cash cow for the government. I struggled to get 9k for my 2001 S3 which was in fantastic condition. I think the S6 is...

    Which Diesel?

    Or you can follow my route........ 1) Buy A6 2.0 TDI 2) Remap A6 2.0 TDI 3) Enjoy the same power as the 2.7 (175 bhp) 4) Pay Mr Brown only £145 road tax 5) Enjoy more economy. On a recent trip to York from the Midlands I saw 61 mpg average!!! :yahoo:

    IPOD Link for A6 C6...Is there one?

    Guys Can you help with this. Recently bought a late 2004 A6 2.0 TDI and apart from the remap the only other thing I will do will be to try and link the IPOD with the stereo. On my previous S3 I used the Dension Link which worked really well. has anyone tried this or are their other ones...

    Caught Speeding

    Still this will cheer you up. 2 days ago I was out in my new oil burner, wafting along to go and pick up some furniture. 1 mile from getting there I was driving through a small village in Warwickshire and could see in the distance a camera van. No problem I thought as I was doing 30 mph...

    Fears of petrol hitting £1.50/litre this summer

    Where is it going to end? Time for my rant, fed up as I think most people are with being shafted by the fools that supposedly lead this country. What's the point. I work hard, have a career, nice family, nice house 2 cars etc. Have our first child on the way in 10 weeks so sold my lovely...

    help... im loosing interest.

    Had mine booked in for a remap before I even picked it up. Went to Chipped UK in Bromsgrove. Cost me the best £275.00 I have ever spent. I had actually had it booked in at AMD, but cancelled as they appeared to be only interested in the cash and not the car. Went back to Chipped UK again...

    Bye Guys.....Sold it!!

    Just thought I would thank you all for the help and info I have had from this site over the past 12 months. Took a deposit on the S3 last night, the car goes on Sunday. Going to really miss it, don't think I have been this gutted since I sold my Mk3 Golf 16v Anniversary. :blownose: If you...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Oh well, such is life. Took a deposit on the sale of the S3 this evening. Looks like it's going to a good home. I knew the first one to see would buy. Got £8975.00 which for the great condition is about spot on in my book. Cheers for all your help on this forum. Going to miss the S3 like...

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Remap was done by Chipped UK, literally days after I bought it (just don't tell the wife)!! 265bhp which having driven a lot of performance cars with work does seem about right. Went back to Chipped UK last week to give my A6 TDI the same treatment (again don't tell the wife). What she doesn't...

    Chip poll - Whos have you got?

    Used Jason at Chipped UK in Bromsgrove on 2 occassions now. More than happy with results. They were: S3 210bhp, mapped to 265bhp 12 months ago, £250.00 A6 2.0TDI, mapped from 140bhp to 175bhp (a mixture of more power and better economy) last week. £300.00 as I was a returning customer...

    Has anyone had a 2.0 TFSi mapped by custom code or chipped uk ?

    I used Chipped UK for both my S3 last year and now only last week for my A6 2.0TDi. More than happy with the results, only ever had an excellent service from them.

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Cheers mate will do! Have to say that I was a bit disturbed with talk of £400.00 a year road tax. Got to have been a good move having remapped a 210bhp AMK engine. :happy:

    A6 Remapped!!

    Done at last service!! Even better really. The dealer I bought it from was surprised when I arrived on his doorstep at 9am after seeing it advertised the previous day. I don't think he realised that with all the options it was a £29,500 car 3 years and 4 months ago!! Apparently the phone...

    Is the 225bhp 8L S3 in the top road tax band??

    Glad I mapped my 210, and didn't hunt too hard for a 225!!

    Mint S3 bargain.....Where are the genuine buyers?

    Cheers for the comments guys. Just to clarify, yes it definately is black metallic. Everyone has different tastes but I love the interior, it really brightens things up. I paid £10,700 just over 12 months ago. Looks like I have to face the fact that I have lost a fair bit over this time. Got...
