    Is the 2.7 TDI the most reliable engine?

    Maybe, but not spending £500 a year to drive on the roads the state that they are in, especially when I can get a 3.0 diesel 5 series for £225 a year tax and with greater fuel economy. Was just that I really liked the feel of the A6 after being in a 2.7 tdi Le Mans.

    Is the 2.7 TDI the most reliable engine?

    Thanks for the info, thought the 2.7 might suffer the same as the 3.0. Sorry, I meant the s-tronic/tiptronic box, being the Quattro. Looked at A4's as well and know the multitronic in them isn't great too. Preferred the 2.7 for the road tax saving, as the 3.0tdi of same age is £499 a year tax...

    Is the 2.7 TDI the most reliable engine?

    I'm currently thinking about getting an auto A6 avant (2005-08), and after a fair bit of research it would appear that the 2.0 TDI is a ticking time bomb, and the CVT auto box is made of chocolate. The 3.0 TDI looks to be prone to injector problems, so is the 2.7 TDI Quattro with the...

    Buying an A6 Avant - any watchouts?

    I assume the 2.0TDI (140) is more reliable?

    Help needed in Fitting fbmfsw

    Sorry to hijack, but if I'm fitting a fb non-mfsw to a car without a mfsw to start with, is it just the steering wheel and airbag that is needed? Thanks

    MY11 Rear Lights

    Cheers NHN. So the plug & play adaptor with the eBay lights will only still work on 09 cars onwards too? Think I may come to yourself for these lights then ;)

    MY11 Rear Lights

    I thought the eBay ones were plug and play for earlier SB's? What kinda probs did you have with them as I'm interested in these too.

    Best EVER Alloy Wheel Design?!

    Personally I think BBS RS's are the best ever alloy design. Think God designed them himself :) Totally stunning split rim that still looks stunning after being about for years. :drool:

    Whats your private plate , or what have u seen ??

    Got M11 ADC on my car just now. M11 just because I heard that getting 1, 11 or 111 always makes the plate more desirable, and ADC as its my initials. Also recently got AC04 TSS which spells out my name (A Coats). A C04TS S so it looks like A Coats's. Will stick this on when I get a new...

    Ordered my A3 S-line today

    Hi Sem, looking forward to seeing pics of your new A3 when you take delivery. I still remember when you took me for a spin in your Anni a couple of years back. Couldn't believe it was a diesel, so fast and the torque was immense. Hope it goes to a good home.

    Bently Wheels

    No you're not wrong, they are TSW Holsten's, the owner has just stuck some Bentley centre caps on them. The rear lights and wing mirrors on that Mk4 are just wrong.

    A3 DSG's

    They were originally wanting £18k????? :faint: Thought the S-Line bumper was deeper and more agressive looking round about the fogs like below?

    A3 DSG's

    Why's that you know something about the car? Its overpriced IMO compared to some others I've seen, also doesn't appear to have S-Line front bumper.

    A3 DSG's

    Thanks Steve, I'm a member over on UK-MKIVS so will have a look, but think I prefer the A3, especially if its already installed, save farting about retrofitting. Might see if I can blag an A3 DSG for a day then from my dealer, hopefully a nice Ibis white S-Line :) I very rarely drive...

    A3 DSG's

    Mmmmm think I'll get a test drive from my friendly Audi dealer to see how it feels, when I find a friendly one that is :)

    A3 DSG's

    Mmm didn't know that. Would probably be 2nd hand buy so looks like the A3 would be my choice if I opt for the DSG. Does it actually feel like any other auto box, or is there something special about it, as I've heard people rave about how good it is.

    A3 DSG's

    Thanks guys. One of the guys in my office is trading in his 3.2 V6 TT and ordered himself a new TT TDi DSG so will see what his is like when he eventually gets it. Seems like everyone in my work is getting a new Audi recently, my boss picked up his A6 TDi last week and my other boss gets his A4...

    A3 DSG's

    Thought it might change automatically if revs too low like you say, but thought at high revs would hold gear till you flip paddle. Can you also "blip" it on downshift with paddle? I know its not a Ferrari, but would still like the odd bit of fun with it.
