    177bhp Quattro fuel economy?

    Just for comparison, our A7 3.0 d is returning an average of 42. Heavier car with a v6. Bizarre

    177bhp Quattro fuel economy?

    So that sounds about right. According to my Roadtrip App I averaged 37.5 over 2 years in my A5 177 Quattro SB It's the combination of Quattro and wide tyres. You can drive like Miss Daisy or hoon it around it doesn't seem to make a huge difference.

    The devil rises...

    The rules changed. It's a three step process Your number goes on retention first. You get the certificate back. (and maybe the new V 5 for the Audi as well) You tax the new car in your name The number goes on the new car. It seems steps 2 & 3 can happen at the same time.

    My number transferred today. Seems they were working on requests received on 8th June today. I'll probably get the V5 tomorrow but the new plates went on tonight! You should keep checking the online tax checker for AEZ.

    The devil rises...

    I did get a photo. I'm still trying to transfer my plate to another car, 4 weeks in and I've now been told that I have to tax it my name before it can proceed. Audi were supposed to have done this for me, so not overly pleased. That's the second time they've messed up a transfer. In fairness...

    Daytona grey is the way to go Ibis White is great for hiding paint defects but it does get very dirty, very quickly. :-)

    Smart! Was there any significance to RCN or was it just carried over from a previous car?

    New Black Edition Quattro

    Handy that as I'm on RMS.. Was the lack of 4 wheel dyno an issue for you? What are the insurance implications? Assume you've declared it?

    New Black Edition Quattro

    Feck, I'm struggling to get above 38mpg at the moment. I suppose I need a few more miles on it, at 1500 it's still tight. Where are they located?

    Isn't this mildly annoying..

    Where did you go to? I used to use Harry's Tyres when they were about but I'm struggling to find anywhere that can change a tyre without marking my rims What's the significance of your plate?

    Isn't this mildly annoying..

    That's crap mate. My e92 did exactly that with the Bridgestone run flat. I could poke my finger through the hole! Basically due to the normal camber and a lack of give in the sidewall. New tyre then?

    Winter Tyres On Quattro

    I had a BMW e92 with Bodgestone runflat tyres. In the 2010 freeze, I couldn't get to more than 20mph on the permafrost covered clear roads, they just didn't grip. The tyres were as hard a bricks. Winter tyres transformed the car to the point where I could drive the same snowy places as MRs S in...
