    No 360 Degree Camera ?

    Is that just a bug in the configurator or does the A6 really not come with the 360 Degree Camera ?

    S7 actually worth the premium ? I compared .. (UK)

    I actually went through the hassle of creating a spreadsheet and added every single option and compared. I used for both the Vorsprung trim and apart from the shocking inconsistencies between the models, for example one has 'Front centre armrest', whilst the other 'Center armrest in front' -...

    Perfect colour / color for an S7 ?

    I am just waiting to finish my current lease this year and will order an S7 Vorsprung. It seems we don't have the Exclusive program for the S7 in the UK. As the current plan is to actually keep the car - I want to make sure I get the right colour. Looking at the options - it seems Mythos...

    Park Assistance Pack missing on new S7 ?

    I am doing some research about the S7 Vorsprung and on another UK based forum I noticed a user complaining that a new S7 (November 2019) has the Assistance Pack missing and it appears after going round and round with Audi he was told it has been discontinued, despite it showing in both A7 and S7...

    Start / Stop can't be disabled ? (A7)

    Hi Guys, just wondering - I had an A7 rental and I disabled Start / Stop - yet it seems it still does that no matter what the button is set to ? Is this some fancy tech I don't get, is the button useless etc ?

    Looking for a decent Audi dealer in UK

    I have read most reviews I can find from a random selection of dealers including the one advertised here and reviewed and a lot of times you can still find a selection of horror stories. I know it will be difficult to find a decent dealer - or a perfect one at that. Can anyone recommend a...

    Current S7 Vorsprung in UK - when was it released ?

    Surprisingly I cannot find much about this one - not even wikipedia. Anyone know when this was released in the UK and what type it is (k8 etc.) ? Mainly wondering if the one in the current configurator is the latest or the one that may go away soon ? Anyone also a clue where I can find...

    Nearly signed for an S6 .... nearly

    Call it a midlife crisis or something but I decided I wanted to own my next Audi so test drove an S6. First the guys in the shop, after making an appointment, told me they only got an A6 and said it doesn't matter. Having an A6 I refused saying I need to see the actual difference before paying...

    Compositi AS Steering Wheel ?

    Anyone ever ordered a custom steering wheel from Compositi ? http://www.compositias.com/ ? Wondering what the cost is like and even more so - how do you go on about the swap. I fear there wouldn't even be a UK garage who'd be willing to swap the guts out.

    S5 + ABT = Worth the engine mod ?

    Just curious what people think about the ABT engine mode for the S5. My leasing company is playing hardball so it might have to wait to get an S5 - but it'll happen and I am pretty sure I will get the Front and Rear Skirt body kit - but wondering if the power upgrade is worth it (*) ? (*)...

    S5 + ABT Bodykit / Performance Pack from Factory?

    Just wondering, can you actually order an S5 new that includes the ABT bodykit and performance pack ? I know you get technically ABT warranty on the engine when you have it done, but I wonder if you can add all that straight from the dealer on day 1 that covers manufacturer warranty?

    S5 - Wrap vs. Audi Exclusive

    I am trying to find the pros and cons about either - mainly from cost perspective. Annoyingly there doesn't seem to be a Black Optics pack / Black edition in sight any time soon so I was tempted to black out the chrome parts by either painting or wrapping. Some companies even seem to be able...

    As with so many nice gadgets found when ordering a German Audi. Anyone able to convince Audi UK to order the parking heater (timed and remote) when ordering a new S5? I know Standheizung sometimes translates to Auxiliary heater, but some people confuse that with the automatic Diesel heater...

    AMI software version compatibility issues ?

    I eBayed an AMI for my A6 C6 and the seller insisted it worked prior sending. No matter what I try to connect to the iPOD cable - the MMI reports that the connected device isn't working properly. I then ordered a Bluetooth Adapter for the AMI (ViseeO Tune2Air WMA3000A) which gives me the same...

    Retrofit boot 'mounting' / 'secure' loop things ?

    No clue what they are called, but whilst I love the massive boot of my A6 - it doesn't have anything to secure anything to it. My A3 and A4 had metal loops where you can attached some strings / bands to it - but that one doesn't .. Is that something that can be retrofit ? Presume its just a...

    I have a couple of faulty parking sensors and one holder came off which needs glueing on again. I found three screws inside the SatNav DVD compartment (passenger side) and two on the driver's side behind the jack fitting. In addition I removed the 6 hex screws in the wheel arches and also the...
