    Polished Bliss: A day out at the Audi dealership...

    "Le Mans" limited edition - to celebrate Audi's wins at Le Mans with a diesel. It's basically an S-Line (sports seats & grille etc) but with 19" RS4 wheels, leather, metallic, heated seats, rear parking. I have one in phantom black (3.0 tdi) - luvverly! Nice job by the way - and I know what...

    How do I keep the shine intact?

    Any thoughts on this last question?

    How do I keep the shine intact?

    That's a really useful reply - thanks. I'll try your recommendation. One other thing - should I use the same treatment/products on my wife's A3 (9 month's old, brilliant red non-metallic) ?

    How do I keep the shine intact?

    I have a 3 month old A6 in phantom black with a pretty good paint finish, except for one or two very faint swirl marks - courtesy of a dealer pre-sale prep wash. I do like to polish/wax my car periodically and although I enjoy it, I wouldn’t say it was my favourite pastime, simply because I have...

    Which A6

    You should be able to get a decent 04 plate 2.5Tdi for £15k. I traded mine in for £14.5k (46k miles) and the dealer put it up for £16.5k, so presumably somebody got it for about £15.5k to £16k? There are quite a few Audi approved ones currently on their website, providing you're prepared to...

    Which A6

    I recently traded in my '04 2.5tdi sport avant auto (multitronic) for my current 3.0 tdi quattro and I really loved the car. Great build quality, reliable, powerful, smooth and practical. A friend of mine had the 1.9 which I felt was a little under-powered and noisy by comparison. I originally...

    Help! - removal of shiny stuff on trim

    Slightly off-subject but does anyone know of a product which emulates that "new-smell" which stays with a new car for about 6 weeks then goes?

    Help! - removal of shiny stuff on trim

    Thanks for the replies - I'll try what you suggest. I like the sound of the Poorboys Natural Look Dressing - that's exactly what I've been looking for to use on my new A6, so I'll order some. Cheers.

    Help! - removal of shiny stuff on trim

    My wife's beautiful 6 month-old A3 has just come back from an Audi bodyshop, having spent nearly five weeks getting a new tailgate and rear light fitted after a minor bump. 'Staff absence' was the reason given for the unbelievable delay, so I demanded a full valet (inside and out) and wax/polish...

    A6 TDi Multitronic problems

    Clutch slip - I had this problem on my 04 2.5tdi multitronic and the gearbox had to come out to change the clutch. I was told by the dealer that there are clutches on the multitronic box which wear or slip and need adjusting or replacing. Fortunately mine was under warranty, but I know it was...

    Options on a new A6 2.7TDi Avant Le Man?

    It's an S-Line with about £2k of extras (leather, heated front seats, rear parking, interior lighting pack, metallic, 19" RS4 wheels). It was firstly only available on the 3.0 Qttro, but I think they're now doing it on the 2.7tdi. Try to get 10% from a dealer - it is definitely possible if...

    How accurate is your dis

    My previous car (2.5tdi sport avant multitronic) registered about 33-35 mpg average on the DIS (too many stop/start/short journeys), which when I calculated it back from fuel receipts/mileage records, was pretty accurate. I could achieve 40-42 on a long run but I would have to be driving very...
