Hello all Me Birt Ram and Claire jumped in my Audi A6 3.0TDI S Line Le Mans and headed for Barcelona via Amsterdam. We stayed in Germany for most of the journey rather than France for obvious reasons and we got there in no time. Even when we did have to go through France we averaged 120mph through the night. After a few days in Barcelona me and Birt decided to venture on. We headed for Monaco and both had a go driving through the tunnel so we could say when we watch the F1 that we had done it. It's the small things haha. Then decided we wanted to visit a water park Jesolo which is in Italy. So off we went and through the night again it was superb. We ended up in a race with two identical Abarth 500's which you just couldn't make up, it was amazing, we played with them for a while then !Removed! off using the mighty power from the V6. After visiting the water park we decided that we might as well go to Venice, on the way into Venice you go over a bride covered in speed cameras. Being in a UK registered car I made every single camera flash, that was fun. In Venice we had a wander round got a pizza and then decided it was time so we headed to our favourite place - THE NURBURGRING. On the way there we passed through Austria, we have driven through Austria before and loved it so we were very happy to do it again. It didn't let us down. Superb roads and incredible views. Birt got stopped by the police for speeding and tailgating though. €35 Euro each resulting in a €75 on the spot fine and no points or anything like that. Not to bad. Parked up for the evening in a lay by off a German autobahn I was putting my private reg on as I had just had a phone call to say the new V5 had come in the post at home and a man grabs me. Turns out to be undercover armed police accusing us of stealing the car. After a long time we managed to sort it out even without the V5 and at that point the police had given up. They didn't understand anything about private reg's so by the end they basically just let us drive off and trusted us that we had put the correct reg on. Once at the Nurburgring we did a few laps each with some time in between to let the brakes cool down and had no drama whatsoever so all good. Always worth visiting if you haven't been. After that we decided to stop off in Amsterdam for another night on the way home to relax. Best idea ever. Home safe Month or so later recieve a 100mph speeding ticket from the M25 after doing 155mph legally in Germany. Oh !Removed!

You might be better off buying a ami blutooth dongle and stream music from your phone or like it was said before usb stick

Welcome to the forum Dave :) youll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch, so ask away with any questions :) bet you can't way to collect your a3! :) cheers steve

Welcome on-board m8 lots of guys here in the know, i`m not one of them lol

Eliminate and test whats wrong. Use pen stick with music on it - no larger than 32GB (i tested 64GB and it was invisible for the car ). If it works first canle is ok. your phone - what phone u are using ? cable for the phone, if u bought cable to use and leave it in the car, test it with PC can u transfer data using that cable, ase some cheap ebay phone cables are made only to be able to charge the phone. if u have Android phone there is some options for type of connection you can change while phone is connected to USB ...

Definately more of a controlled stop. At worst the back wheels would lock up and you would do the longest skid ever recorded 😃

lol sort of sums up my thoughts on the issue of using it was wondering do i come to a controlled stop or kiss the fecking windscreen lol

Hey Darren, I'm unsure to be honest. Have you had the car plugged into diagnostic equipment? Cheers steve

I can't fault the Uniroyal rainsport contact 3 tyres. I was introduced to them via a chap who supplies to several boys who race saloons. On wet days the cars wearing these tyres were some 10 seconds a lap quicker than the next fastest cars. In the dry they were still just as fast as all the other cars too. Anyways, I have them on the A6 and the T5 and they are just the DB's in my opinion. Please stay awAy from Dunlop sports!! They are just terrible for front wheel drive cars. Terrible

Another vote for Uniroyal rain sport contact 3 from me too. These are the best tyres I have come across for the temperate climate we live in. When I first got the A6 it had dunlops on the rear and Pirelli on the front. It handled terribly and the back end would slide out on roundabouts while following Miss Daisy in a Micra. Put the Uniroyals on and now I could overtake Miss Daisy on the inside of said roundabout if wanted to. Best compramise on grip, longevity and price in my book. Run them on the T5 too. Have voted for Michelins though as I run the Alpins over winter, superb tyres too.👍

Haven't had the pleasure of changing the Tyres on my A6 yet - 245 45 18's but ran same size on previous car and Found Uniroyal Rainsport a cracking option. Colleague used to run them on his A6 and prefered them.
