    Traffic Sign Recognition.

    Interesting. I do have a Genuine Ross-Tech cable but I have to admit I'm a bit nervous about bu66ering up my A8!! Presumably there are potential warranty issues too if I "DIY" a module? Paul

    Traffic Sign Recognition.

    Hi, I have a 2011 A8 3.0 TDi SE Exec which has the full Lane Assist, Side Assist, Adaptive Cruise, front/rear impact pre-sense system. The car was bought off forecourt so I was unable to alter the spec and unfortunately it didn't have the Traffic Sign Recognition System (this displays the last...

    A6 3.0 TDI Quattro MPG

    I've had my 3.0 TDi auto for just over 3 years. 36,000 miles and the trip computer overall average (not reset since new) is 33.6 mpg. On a motorway run which is my main driving I get between 38 and 43. I drive sensibly, have the A/C on and use cruise control. I'm sure the newer models are...

    Footwell LED's

    Hi all, Anybody tried these or the company they're from? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360149447471 I've discovered I can alter the brightness of my footwell lights via the DIS and fancy either red or blue LEDs. Being LED's I don't see any...

    Mobile Phone Adapter/Cradle A3

    When the phone is connected via the bracket it takes its power from the car and so will also charge. Secondly, it uses the external aerial on the car for better reception. Sound quality tends to be better from a cradle fit also as there is no bluetooth connection. There is a whole list of...

    Retrofitting a leather interior for a 3dr?

    I've been looking into this too. Have a look at www.trim-star.co.uk . They seem to have a very good reputation with a lot of feedback on their site from VW/Audi/Merc/BMW main dealers. They are located quite close to dk-schweizer (Colchester) - but I don't know if there is any link between them...

    Best way to connect ipod?

    Hi eddie, Use the search facility. There is an absolute shed load of info on here. There is the Audi iPod adaptor, the Dension 100 and 300 or if you've got RNS-E there's the Alpine 425 which is great but ££££. The Audi system requires you to set up six playlists on your iPod which are then...

    Creaking steering column

    Hi, I've got a 2008 Sportback SE 140TDi. I've noticed that at very low speed i.e. reversing that there is a definate creaking noise from the steering. It is not continuous just as you initially feed in the turn whilst reversing. It is not a loud noise - but it's there. Has anybody else...

    Is now a bad time to buy a used (nearly new) car?

    My neighbour has just bought a 1 year old A4 1.9TDI S-Line with SatNav (RNS-E), Bluetooth Prep, 6CD, Multi-Funtion Steering Wheel, Metallic etc....... with 89 miles on the clock - pre-registered last year. Advertised at £19k. Got it for £17.2k and they gave him £1k for his 12 year old A4 which...

    Storage+Ipod issues

    p3eps, I'm getting this fitted next week in my wifes A3. I think the Audi iPod adaptor is poor - just allowing playlists. There is the Dension 300 (get the dual CAN) which gives a bit more controllability through the DIS. I've got the Dension 500 in my A6 and it gives pretty much a full iPod...

    DIS Retrofit-- OH Yes

    Gregormac said: I think you can claim up to 40p/mile via your tax return. It certainly used to be the case that you could claim the difference between what your company paid you and HMRC's max rate of 40p. This was up to a max of 10,000 miles per year - after that it drops to someting like...

    Thanks for the replies guys.... don't think I'll be pursuing this one any further. It's a pity because my wife was quite taken with "audi Geko" button. Cheers Paul

    Are there many A6 owners on here???

    Well, as my name suggests I've got an A6. Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro Le Mans - with lot's of toys - couldn't resist it. Love it - effortless, easy driving and it's averaged 33MPG over the last 21k miles which I think is pretty good! Can be a bit firm with S-Line + 19" wheels, but i can live with it...

    Ordering new S3 - Manual or S-Tronic?

    I take you mean without DSG/S-Tronic....:laugh: I love DSG. I can confidently say I will never buy another manual car. I've got an A6 Tiptronic and my wife has the A3 DSG/S-Tronic. The DSG is quicker and smoother than my A6 due to the double clutch. It's easy, effortless driving - you won't...
