    3 Child seats, line abreast in the back.. possible?

    We manage to fit three in the back, a five and an eight year old sit on the pop up centre sections, and our two year old sits in an appropriate car seat in the centre which just fits. Getting to the seatbelt sockets is tricky, but it can be done. I guess what would help would be a slightly...

    A6 Avant - what brake/suspension upgrades?

    Hi, I am looking to upgrade the brakes and suspension on my 1.9TDi Avant. It already has 18in S-line alloys and the Sport suspension option, but I'd like to firm things up, without making the ride unbearable. I've heard Koni FSDs are good, as are KW Variants? Or should I just fit Eibach...

    Five/six-speed box ratios?

    I am about to go and see a five-speed manual 1.9TDi Avant, but wonder whether I should hold out for a six-speed as I intend to do a lot of motorway driving - what's the difference in ratios between fifth and sixth?

There's a couple floating about, but can anyone tell me now: 1) the cost of the 80k cambelt change 2) are all the manuals 6sp? 3) is...

    Thanks for that. I'd ruled out the 1.9 simply because I'd read that it was underpowered in the A6. However, I've driven the 130bhp Passat and that had plenty of punch. And, I guess, it's more economical. I am having trouble finding a quattro version for sale, though, so I guess I could go for...

    Sorry, another A6 Avant question. Want the 2.5 but can't make my mind up between the quattro/non quattro and manual/auto options. Need to decide this to try and cut down on the time spent searching for the right car! So, is the quattro really so much more grippy? The lower ride height, surely...
