That's a lovely old Ford you have there Steve...only ever going up in value as well...nice!

Thanks Trevor, I love this car :) it's been a big part of my life and it's being used as my transport for my best man and I to my wedding! :)

Great stuff! :) you'll certainly have peace of mind having the service, cambelt and water pump replaced :)

Thanks Steve...that would be really helpful.

If we can get enough numbers then we can get onto the organisers to arrange a stand area for at least 10+ cars

Cheers,  Trevor

Your welcome Trevor :) il see if I can rally support :) 

As you all know I drive an Audi A6 as my daily. However I do have another car which is a 1993 Ford escort which I have had since I was 16 and was my first car. I love this car and its personality and it's deffo part of the family :) 

Nice to see you've got some good/subtle plans :) 

don't know whether you've seen the info on the Audis in the park event which is happening on Sunday 13th august at Deenes park in Corby, Northamptonshire. Just wondering if you'd be interested in displaying your a6 at the event? 

We have 3 members so far but need 12 for the display. 

Cheers

Welcome to the forum Dave :) 

lovely looking q7 you have their! :)

Hello Derek welcome to the forum :) 

Inwould imagine (but don't quote me) that a tracker would have to be fitted by a professional so in order to be valid for the insurance company. 

Also with regard to reverse cameras, many companies offer them such as kenwood and pioneer. I think it will also depend on what size screen you want and where it will fit on the dash. 

It also depends on how much you want to spend. I mean for example you can get a rear view mirror monitor from Halfords for £60. 

Hope that helps 

cheers

we are currently looking for people to display their car at audis in the park on Sunday 13th August at Deenes park in Corby Northamptonshire.  We have 3 members displaying their cars so far, is it something you'd be interested in doing? 

Cheers 

Steve

Well it's down the roadblocks from me and it's near my birthday do it would be rude not to go! :) if you'd like a hand organising any of the events etc then just give me shout :) like to help where I can :) 

No worries mate :) glad I could help in some way :) 

Your best bet would be to speak to power flow as they've done previous work on your car :) 

like I say part of the sound comes from the baffles in the exhaust and they can be adapted/adjusted to your taste :) 

Just seeing who, if any of you guys and gals are going to VAG Tuner Live on the 16th July @ Donington Park? 

List of attendees so far

1. SteveQ + 1

Welcome to the forum Peter :) you'll find the guys and gels on here a friendly and will help where they can :) don't worry you won't be any bother :) 

cheers 

Steve

Hi Michael, 

you can't go wrong with a straight through stainless system. With some companies such as power flow you can choose the sound of the exhaust to a degree as it is down to the baffles they use in the exhaust backbox. 

To stay on the right side of the law and to prevent your insurance from being nil and void I would keep your cat on. It would only give you an extra 5bhp if you took it out. 

Plus I would suspect if you removed the cat you would have a light come on the dash. So you would probs have to have it slightly remapped. 

Hope that helps :) 

cheers 

Steve 

It will also go on the condition of the vehicle. I.e. A poorly serviced car will not be as good as one that's never missed a service. 

The remap will have more effect with other mods such as straight through stainless exhausts, upgraded manifolds, induction kit and upgraded turbo for example. 

Did you have it on a rolling road before and after remap? 

Cheers 

Steve 

Welcome to the forum :) you got any other mods on it? 

Thats not bad mileage btw 

I would imagine the grills are a straight swap but I'm unsure about the badge. Are you intending to fit any other s6 goodies or lower it?

Hi Steve ,

 

Thanks, I'm enjoying it so far.  Not enjoying the lovely 24mpg though.  Been driving diesels for a while so used to 40+ mpg.  I have a company car so not the end of the world, that gets most of the miles put on it. 

 

Liam 

You do right putting the miles on

the company car! Let the A6 have a pampered life! ;) 

Saw this on Facebook also! 

Welcome to the forum Mark, from a fellow A6 owner :) 

you've done some neat mods to your a6 :) 

cheers 

Steve 

Welcome to the forum Liam, from a fellow newbie :) lovely looking a4! :) 

cheers 

Steve

Welcome to the club from a fellow newbie. Sorry to hear your having issues already. 

Has your car had an oil flush? I had an issue with my diesel A6 where it said low oil pressure. Flushed the system and put in new oil and it was ok. 

I believe the "oil pressure low" light and "oil level" light are different. 

Hace you got a picture of your dash and light which may help the more experienced members on here? 

Hope you get to the bottom of it soon. 

Cheers 

Steve
