    Why do you own a B6?

    I'm on my 4th B6, great motors are getting cheaper by the year.. I always stay within the VAG stable.. agreed as above, they will always look classy and with subtle led light upgrades etc they can look more modern.. better built than the newer ones too!!

    for £1k it may be worth a punt, do a vcds scan and maybe a manual reset of the roof, see if it works.. how bad are the wings an quarter panel?

    A4 Sport Convertible Help Wanted West Sussex-Surrey

    It's not that cheap for all that's wrong with it.. It would need to be a good bit cheaper to make it worth your while.. Do you have access to VCDS? sometimes the roof just needs a manual reset and clear of the error codes.. also windows could just be a simple switch..

    Any more details? miles, price and faults? then it comes down to price paid + cost to fix all the bits, is that cheaper than buying a good one?

    If you were to buy another A4, what engine would you go for?

    My choice would be a 1.9 Tdi 130bhp.. will go on forever if serviced and handiest on fuel.. I have had a 1.8T, 1.9 100bhp, 1.9 130bhp, 2.0 petrol and 4.2 V8.. 130bhp everytime for me.. PS.. 130's never gave great mpg 38-42 (I have owned 3 cars with this engine), best was the 100bhp I had in a...

    Of course it can.. My brothers 1.9Tdi MK2 golf did me over in a 320bhp 2.7 S4 the other night.. I also used to give him a hard time with my 130bhp (with two tuning boxes) in his ST220 3.0 mondeo..

    A4 B6/B7 LED dipped beam conversion - installation and review (H7)

    I fitted mine, just guessed the black 12v wire and worked fine.. I would say the light output isn't great.. not as good as my HID kit... agree that the heat sink is tight to the back of the light too.. might go back to HIDS.. as the A4 lights are awful!!

    A4 B6/B7 LED dipped beam conversion - installation and review (H7)

    Thanks, where have you installed the cancellors? are they inside the headlights? I currently have a 20mm hole in the rear of the light to feed to HID wire through, so may leave that open to help dissipate the heat..
