  1. So, I will put pictures up tomorrow. Who would be interested in an A6 Allroad Quattro Pickup Conversion? Or what do you think ones is worth... The car has done 110k, 2.7 BiTurbo engine and in the last 2 years has had these replaced while the engine was out for the build: Clutch, Flywheel, Injectors, Waterpump, Cambelt, Full Service, All AUX Belts etc - Every single serviceable item was replaced. Every KG of weight removed from the car has been replaced with engineered steel so the car weighs as it did from factory KG FOR KG. My boss at work would sell it to me for £2,500 - The car cost £9,000 to build so this is a steal, but what do you guys think it would be worth? Nothing was skimped on or missed out, where the doors are missing everything has been removed ECU to reflect this so there's not any electrical issues etc. It's on Q5 19" Rims, 320HP with a dyno printout and 12 months MOT from today.

  2. Hi all, Been meaning to do this for ages but, after 18 months of ownership (sorry), I just thought I'd share my opinions of my A6 BiTdi (C7). I bought my 2013 Avant in 2019 to replace a 2010 Mercedes E350 estate (S212 for those in the know). Dislikes: Poorly equipped – no retractable wing-mirrors, auto-dipping headlights, courtesy headlights, part-electric seats or electric tailgate, all of which were standard on the Merc Poor satnav, both in operation and appearance – Merc’s was much higher definition (retractable screen very nice though) Bigger than Merc but less roomy Thick passenger headrest coupled with big mirrors and wide pillars make visibility at junctions an issue Cheap-looking l.e.d. fuel gauge only shows level in 8ths. Much prefer conventional dial. (Yeah, yeah 1st world problems and all that) Front parking bleepers do not come on automatically (although they do if manoeuvre includes reversing) Heated mirrors do not come on in conjunction with rear screen demister and there’s no warning light to tell you that they’re on. (They were on constantly for the first month before I realised. According to the handbook, they’re temperature dependant so perhaps my temperature sensor has failed?) Not sure about: Keyless unlocking/engine starting – an answer to a question no-one asked imho. Silly I know, but I’d rather know that the keys were safely in the ignition. Rear child-proof locks. Great that these are controllable from the driver’s seat (and individually for each side) but not so good that you can’t control the rear windows separately. (I don’t mind my kids being able to open the windows, but I don’t want them to be able to open the doors.) Likes: Very good-looking. No rattles or other signs of wear despite nearly 90,000 miles. Has been very reliablle. Lovely interior, especially the retractable screen, which makes the ‘fixed ipad’ style of other cars look really cheap and nasty. It would be even better if the screen itself used more of the available area though. Erm, there was one other thing. Oh yes, the engine. I think there’s some kind of magic going on under the bonnet because the car sounds more like a V8 petrol than a V6 diesel, it goes like stink, yet we averaged 45mpg on a jaunt across France, the car packed with 4 people, dog and a lot of ‘stuff’. I think this is astonishing for a large, heavy 4wd vehicle, and it routinely returns 35+ doing a mixture of more mundane journeys. Thanks for reading and would be interested to know others' opinions! Cheers for now.

  5. Hi everyone, it's great to meet you all. I love my 2012 A6 Allroad but I'm looking to replace it with a clean 05/06 TT Quattro Sport. If anyone's looking to sell or trade one, please let me know! Avus Silver or Misano Red with Recaro buckets would be ideal. Ryan
