Abit late but here's some pics of mine :) 

Welcome to the forum from a fellow newbie! :) you'll find the guys and gels on here are a friendly bunch and will help you with any questions you have :) 

Picked up a leaflet on Deenes park today. The info maybe useful for anyone attending audis in the park :) 

Nice a3! The colour is one the best for Audis and the interior is lovely :) 

Thanks for your reply Trevor, 

i dread to think what they would cost to replace! 

Cheers 

Steve

We've tried that but it didn't work. The wheels are an inch wider than the ones we had. 

What make are the wheels? 

And is the car lowered? 

To all c5 owners, has anyone read in their owners manuals that the c5 airbags need to be replaced once the vehicle reaches 14 years old.

Has anyone else seen this in their manuals and is there any risks if the airbags aren't replaced? 

Has anyone replaced them? 

Cheers

thanx

Your welcome :) 

let me know if I can be of any further help :) 

Depending on size and type of wheels you'll need wheel spacers :) 

Hello Mark, 

welcome to the club! 

Sorry to hear your having issues already! Hope they get sorted soon :)

Hi Steve, Just as a matter of interest to me - are Mercedes seats still rather uncomfortably hard after a long ( well anything other than local use) run, compared with the Audi? Perhaps they have changed now.

Hi Gareth, I find the merc seats very comfortable. But like I say you'd struggle fitting 5 people in the a class with the Amg sports seats fitted. My dad has a e class and I too find that comfortable especially as we do a 8 hour trip to Northern Ireland each year. 

In comparrison I found the a 3 seats less comfortable and did have some back ache on a 2 and half/3 hour journey from Leicester to Luton airport. But to be fair I do suffer from back issues (after causing damage to it).

Welcome to the club Paul :) I would have to agree with Bradley and don't think the a7 is an old mans car! :) 

Sorry I didn't mean 4 matic, I meant mercs auto box! Audis auto box is better slightly. 

Your welcome :) I find the mercs interior nicer. But if you have the sport interior then carrying 5 people can be a struggle. 

and if your comparing the Audi s tronic (sister to vw dsg) and the mercs 4 Matic then the Audi gearbox is better. And i don't believe merc do a 4 wheel drive system on the a class but I could be wrong. 

Both are nice cars but I would have the merc. 

I speak from experience by the way :) 

Pains for me to say it but I find the merc the nicer car and nicer drive

Welcome to the club! 

I too am also new :) nice Audi btw :) 

Just curious, does anyone know what makes the A6 c5 limited edition so special? (Besides the wheels)  

pic taken from eBay 

Just to add I'v found out the wheels are BBS RC

cheers

Your safe bet would be grey. My dad had a normal a3 in white and it was a company car. 

The problem with white is that eventually it will become unpopular again whereas grey is always a safe bet and looks nice :) 

Is it manual or auto? Could be an issue with the gearbox. What revs does it do it most? 

As trever said best thing to do is get it plugged into a diagnostic computer 

Welcome Helen (from a fellow newbie!). What Audi do you have? :) 

Very wise choice to convert your allroad to 7 seats :) iv got a regular A6 with the feature. 

Not meaning to tell you how to suck eggs but you'll need rear seats, seat belts and mounts, floor mounts for the seats and belts, boot side trim which includes cup holders. 

 I believe the seats were only available in light grey cloth and I know the cost new for the conversion was approx £1700

in the pics you should sea the seatbelt part numbers

hope that helps :)
