Back after being in mourning for a year!

[bertha]

Hi,Guys and Girls,

A year ago i had to say good bye😭 to my beautiful 2001 A6 C5, I heard a big bang from my living room looked out side to find my neighbours Vauxhall Mokka at the rear of my car, went out and saw the damage he had done came back in and cried (for a long time!)

his excuse was he was putting air in his tyres and had to move it so the valves were at the top, he said he was in it when he did it (its an auto) but i later found out from another neighbour who witnessed what happened, he was standing next to it and then put into reverse nearly running him over in the process,i couldn't believe his stupidity.

As you can probably tell i'm still upset about it😭, But i now Have another C5  so thats easing the pain somewhat but it took me 9 months to find it.

I had a Volvo S60 2.4 D5 with 205000 miles in between but it didn't hold a candle to my Audi,

on a lighter note, i've told my neighbour if he goes within 50ft of my new one he'll end up with a very high pitched voice!!😁

thanks for reading😉

Welcome back Angela, so sorry for your previous loss. I too had a similar situation with my a6 c5. Thankfully the insurance company rebuilt mine. I was hit from behind by a Volvo xc60. It wrote the Volvo off completely! 

Have you got any pics of your new c5? 

Hope you're pleased with it 🙂

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve,

i'm glad yours was repaired, can't believe the volvo was written off😲, mine had to much damage under the boot, assessor said if he'd hit her square on she might have been saved, but worst of all the Mokka only had a tiny scuff!! Heres some pics of my new one

thats my husbands bum! 🤣he's just finished polishing her

I'm very happy, hopefully i'll have this one a lot longer!

Very nice looking a6 you have there. Looks to be SE spec like mine. Same wheels as mine. Lovely colour too, and a rare one at that. What goodies does it have? 

Happy Easter by the way 🙂

Kind regards

Thanks 

It's an SE with cream leather interior, heated seats, parking sensors,climate control,it doesn't have the uprated stereo like my last one with the disc changer in the boot but it actually sounds better 🙂

I've never seen my colour before its aqua pearl apparently, they always seem to be silver or green like my last one.

What colour is yours? Do you have lots of toys 

Happy Easter 

Regards

Very nice spec. Heated leather seats are nice. I wish mine were heated. Parking sensors are rare. I'm guessing it's the concert radio? It's an easy upgrade to symphony radio like mine I believe. Mine has the 6 CD changer but built into the head unit. Later symphony radios post facelift 2001 onwards) had the six CD changer built into the dash 

Yea, yours is a rare colour. I don't know the exact colour of mine. My dad bought it new in 2002 and I inherited it. It's got leather, sports seats, 3 spoke sports steering wheel, symphony radio, 7 seater option. Wooden inlays, towbar. 

What engine is yours? Mine is the 2.5tdi and manual gearbox. 

What mileage is on yours? Mine is on 332k on the original engine and gearbox which have never been rebuilt. 

Any interior shots? 

Thanks.

Kind regards

wow its a credit to you and your dad,its in great condition,it doesn't look like its done 330k+, like the colour too its a bit like a gun metal and your driver information screen is good too, mine gets a little bit faded around the edges when i've been in it a long time.

mine is a 2.4 SE V6 (i like that bit😁) cvt, its just coming up to 111000k low mileage, but my last one😭 was even lower at 89,000, 

i shall look into the stereo so hopefully i can change it.

i will take some more pics tomorrow and post them.

Thank you 😊 it has been well cared for. Has been to Europe and all across the UK. Yea it's a lovely colour 😊 nice engine. I'm sure that's the model Jeremy Clarkson reviewed when the car was first released. I'll find the YouTube video for you 🙂 

Yea the radio should fit ok. 

Brill, look forward to seeing more pics

You should think about attending some of the shows with your a6. Usually I'm the only a6 c5 there on our club displays.

Thanks for the you tube clip, i think Clarksons wrong though Audi is best👍(i might be a bit biased!!)

I was sitting in Sainsbury's car park this morning, sent the other half in to get the essentials and i was playing about with my stereo realised it said symphony and then i remembered you mentioned about the facelift after 2001 having the 6 disc changer, so i pressed the load button and low and behold it has one!! Doh! 🙄 but i blame Audi as the Volvo had it written on the stereo itself 😏

Anyway here's some more pics, oh and how do you like my number plate?!!

seats are still a bit grubby as i haven't been to get out and clean them yet😏 would like to get to some shows hopefully when this Covid-19 virus has run out of steam

I agree Clarkson is wrong even though I'll admit the e39 5 series is a very good car. 

That's brill, glad you sorted it 👍 lovely looking interior those cream seats look nice 🙂 love the end of your reg 🙂 

Definitely would be great to have another a6 c5 on our club displays 👍
