    B6 Brake Upgrade - Help needed

    Whilst we are asking about what fits, how about the S3/R32/Leon Cupra brakes? I have a "spare" rear set sitting here, from my Edition 30 days, and loved the S3 brakes up front on it too. And that setup can be found reasonably priced. Any chance they would fit my B6 3.0?

    Adding Bluetooth. Aftermarket HU / Dension or better?

    Haven't taken the plunge yet. I did spot that also, and being a bit cheaper might also hit the spot to be fair. Might as well try it I suppose. So just ordered it. Will update when I have it installed and see how it works. Also ordered a USB extension cable. Will see how I can route that...

    Yes it was a bit of work, but they look great after. Sit quite nice. This is a Sport, but seem pretty low to me. Springs are plain black, so dunno if they are lowering springs or what? Anyway. They certainly LOOK good. Alas, not to be with these tyres though. Turns out 255 section...

    Adding Bluetooth. Aftermarket HU / Dension or better?

    The problem with single din is again the awkwardness of navigating through a USB drive. And I'll have a double din sized hole if I take out my Symphony, so might as well fill it properly. I'd imagine the double dins with the large screens would have an easier display for USB navigation. Maybe...

    Adding Bluetooth. Aftermarket HU / Dension or better?

    Hi, I am trying to add BT to my A4. Ideally would like SD card / USB too, but not 100% necessary. I have the Symphony HU and Bose. Car is a 2003 Avant. I also have a Parrot MKi9200 that I had taken out of a previous vehicle, but I don't really like it to be honest. So no suggestions of...

    xs2mans Quattro Sport Avant

    Not yet. Thought I'd exercise a bit of patience for a change, and get them properly cleaned up and stuff before sticking them on. Ordered some GTechiq C5 for them to finish them off too, so will probably be getting them on some time next week. While this weekend will likely be spent cleaning...

    xs2mans Quattro Sport Avant

    Well, so much for not spending any money on my cheap runaround. Saw these, always like them on the B6, always thought they were the perfect wheel for it, so couldn't resist. Also got a cheeky Miltek awaiting fitting. Should be decent after that. Well, also when I figure out what I need...

    2.5tdi V6

    I can testify to buying only original MAF's. Too many times I've tried to cheap out and been stung.

    Which Engine Oil

    Just nip into Audi and buy a filter.

    Which Engine Oil

    Might as well go for the proper oil IMO. Depends on if you are doing longlife (507.00) or fixed service intervals (505.01) (I'd recommend fixed at this age / mileage though). Anyway, Genuine oil isn't that expensive really. Longlife (507.00)...

    Quick advise

    It REALLY depends on what you want to do with the car. I have a 3.0 V6 Quattro Avant, with loads of spec, low mileage and auto box. It is far from a fast motor, and is pretty thirsty too. But it is a nice smooth drive, and isn't exactly slow. It is nice. But be prepared for 22 mpg or...

    xs2mans Quattro Sport Avant

    Ha ha. Not quite. I had enough daylight hours to get the wet stuff done, then brought it into the garage. Once the kids were down, and the wife got her time, I was then up until about 2am with the claybar and interior. Once the kids were at school, I managed to get the rest of the polishing...

    Before I even got round to getting the wheels on, I went and bought a Milltek for it. So much for not spending any money modding this one.

    A good price?

    Sounds ok. I just picked my Avant up a couple weeks ago. 2003, 3.0 V6 Quattro Sport Avant, Auto, 89k, 12 months MOT. Most of it's service history, but I did just give it a full service including timing belt. High spec with Votex kit, leather, xenons, bose, parking sensors, cruise...
