    To Remap or to sell?

    Audi A6 S Line - Suspension too low?

    Thought I'd start a new thread concerning the OEM suspension on my A6 TDI S Line. When I picked it up I found mud guards all round, which I found strange as I had never notice such an accessory on the A6 before. Would this have been a factory extra or aftermarket. Driving round all last...
