  1. Nice one Edd! :) I'll update the list :) Cheers Steve
  2. You're welcome, Glad we could help :) Merry Christmas to you too :)
  3. Wow! People have no clue. My insurance company valued mine at £1500 recently! Owning a high miler gets respect especially as mine was owned by my dad from new. It does get expensive though, as parts wear out, but I live it and wouldn't have it any other way :) Glad youve chosen to offer it for sale on here :) if however you do decide to keep it, then you would be more than welcome to display it at up and coming shows with us on our club displays :) Cheers Steve
  4. You're welcome :) I have to say I've never seen another 1.9tdi with that spec! Someone really went to town with the options list! A really rare car! It definitely looks looked after and 150k is nothing for this engine, especially as it's been well maintained. My a6 has the 2.5tdi engine with full history which has done 328k and has never been rebuilt. Merry Christmas :) Steve
  5. I don't think the petrol ones will change it much. I'm with the others on this and a backbox delete, it won't make it too loud either. IV found this video on YouTube which has a a4 diesel with the backbox delete: Hope it's useful :) Cheers, and merry Christmas :) Steve
  6. Hey Ben, sorry to hear your selling this lovely a4. That is a cracking spec in my opinion! I think you should keep it, but I understand your reasoning for selling. Cheers Steve
  7. Lol so true!! My brother wanted to play christmas Monopoly but I had to draw the line as I had no brain power lol 😂
  8. Merry Christmas Jay, Here is a wheel guide I found a while ago. Hope it helps :) Bear in mind the bigger the wheels the harder you make the ride. Cheers Steve
  9. Here's me after Xmas dinner every year lol

  15. To those owners who have experienced issues. Please see this recent Audi recall which relates to faulty wiring connectors which can cause the risk of fire on a4, a5 and Q5 models. Audi are recalling 1.27 cars world wide. Here's the link: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/audi-recalls-127-million-cars-worldwide Hope it's useful. Cheers Steve
  16. Audi are recalling a4, a5 and 5 models built between April 2011 and may 2015 due to a electrical connector fault which can cause a thermal overload and burning smell or even a fire. More info here: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/audi-recalls-127-million-cars-worldwide Hope this info.is useful. Cheers Steve

  18. Hi Ian, welcome to the forum. Key thing is service history. Ideally this should be full and any 2011 car your looking at is probably due a cambelt and water pump change. Black edition is a good spec but once again make sure everything works as it should. In terms of gearbox, if it's auto make sure the gear changes are smooth in both manual and auto as it can be expensive to fix if it breaks. If you were looking at Quattro fitted vehicle make sure that it works properly as the system can be sensitive even uneven Tyre wear can potentially damage it. It's probably wise to get an independent inspection carried out. Companies such as the AA and RAC offer this service. If the seller is reluctant or refuses then you have to wonder if they or the car has something to hide! I've found this video on YouTube that may be of some use: Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve
  19. It's definitely not the norm for the brand but it shows you can't be too careful even with a main dealer! I'd be looking at other allroads if it were me. Serving is key in my book. That's how my a,6 has covered 328k on the original engine and gearbox which have never been rebuilt. Keep us posted on your search :) Cheers Steve
  20. Yep, the a3 3 door is being discontinued. The info was released in august. Here is the thread I posted in the news section: Cheers Steve
  21. Hey Edd, I'd say if you.havent noticed any change in it's noise then I wouldn't worry about it. At the end of the day, you as the owner and driver are best placed to know the little noises your a6 makes. They've probably told you about it to cover themselves if you see what I mean. Cheers Steve :)
  22. Welcome to the forum, servicing for vag cars is 20k or 2 years which ever comes first, as they use long life oil I believe. Therefore it has missed a service by 6 months and 1000 miles. As a general rule this should be ok but I have to agree and question whether it fits into Audi approved used criteria. It sounds to me like it was an ex lease car or company car, or something like that. What did the dealer say when you point it out? Cheers Steve
  23. Probably the best bet :)
  24. Fair comment. I do hope you manage to source a s line one soon!
  25. Sorry to hear of your disaster Paul. Let's hope the supplier can send you an s line bumper. But it won't be before Christmas I bet!!
