I feel your pain! I caught my a6 front bumper the other day when taking it to the garage! Mine will need the lower bumper respraying :( I'd say buy a new bumper on eBay and not to put it through the insurance. They might try and write it off!

Your welcome :) you may find your car may have a tyre inflation kit.

Welcome to the forum Mark! Bet your really excited! The waiting is the worst part! Cheers steve

One thing to be careful of is the suspension. Audi used a complicated adaptive system (not air suspension) and when it goes wrong it's expensive to put right. The system is designed to keep the car flat through the corners. You'll find that some rs6's have been converted to coilovers as it's cheaper than fixing the Audi system. Id advise finding one with good service history (ideally full) as the rs6 can be costly to fix if it goes wrong (i.e. The gearbox). Oh and low mileage as poss. Check for crash damage and damage to the rear arches. Rear arches in the a6 c5 aren't known to rust unless a repair has been carried out. Body parts can also be expensive and with regard to body work Audis and VWs from this era also suffered from the front wings rusting at the top of the arch. Never seen it on an rs6 mind but the a6 c5, a4, golf mk4, bora etc were all affected. Oh and make sure all electrical components work. For example it can cost over a £1000 to fix the aircon if the pumps/condensers etc are broken. they are cracking cars and will be a future classic :) hope iv helped :) cheers steve

Welcome to the forum :) It's weird that there are no error codes. Is the esp stuck on or off?

Welcome to the forum:) you'll find the members on here a friendly and helpful bunch :) cheers Steveb

I would say spacesaver. It's very rare to find cars with full sized wheels anymore.

Still in the garage Trevor :/ so I have no news yet unfortunately :/

Welcome to the forum :) sorry to hear of your predicament! iv checked eBay and the one ending soonest is 1 day 14 hours! Your best bet as you need on quickly is a local scrap yard or Audi. Sorry if it sounds like I'm telling you how to suck eggs! Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum:) a very good find you have there! :) sorry I can't be of any more help with your questions though! Cheers steve

Hello Leanne, welcome to the forum:) sorry to hear of your predicament. Well done for keeping the car so long! How many miles are on her? Iv had a look on eBay and found these. Don't know if it will be suitable as it's not the same part number https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282430644484 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262955912086 it might be worth seeing if the same style door locks were fitted to passats, golfs, Audi 100 etc from the same era. I hope I'm not telling you how to suck eggs! Cheers Steve

Glad your pleased! :) but it's hard not too, the a7 is a lovely car! :) I'm very surprised the camera is cheaper than the mirrors!

Neither is mine but it's just about getting a stand together to promote the club :)

Welcome to the forum Kevin :) you'll find the members on here a friendly bunch :)

Good bit of advice there! Top work! :)

Welcome to the forum :) sorry to hear your selling your s3. What are you changing to? Put the add in our for sale section :) cheers steve

Unfortunately the allroads seem to be few and far between. There is some what if an exclusivity about them. What spec you after? Have you had a play with the Audi configurator? Itl give you a better idea of the options Available. However be warned, this could make your decision harder! If that makes sense! Keep us posted on how you get on :) I'm assuming you want the 3.0tdi?

Your welcome :) Leon sounds like a more feasible proposition for you in my opinion and yes the intercooler cools the turbo :) but to be fair if you start off with the basics: induction kit, sports exhaust/manifold, tyres, brakes, and suspension it'll be a good start :)

Welcome to the forum :) good choice of Audi by the way. I'm not aware of any for sale on here but your best bet would be auto trader, eBay or audi approved used :) cheers steve
