Let's start off with the: Audi 100 (brochure from the early 1970s)
-
With this new topic I will be posting up pictures of Audi brochures so that I can share the content with fellow members. I do have a wide range of Audi brochures it's just going to take some time for me to post them individually hope the info is useful oh and other members are more than welcome to post their Audi brochures too! :)
-
That is good value! And your most welcome! We like to praise lovely cars on here! :)

Hi Fraser, the wheels should be straightforward but unsure about the entertainment system. The entertainment system probably runs through the main unit in the dash. And the headrests might be slightly different what I do know is the tv factory option on the previous a8 was between £4000-£5,000! (No joke!) think on your model it was approx £2300-£2700 im in the process of taking pictures of all my Audi brochures so that members can have the benefit of the info. However it's taking a little while as there's a lot of pages to go through. cheers Steve

Buying slightly used is often the best way as the savings can be huge! like you I can't tell from the pic but its be nice either way :)

Old fashioned car security devices.
Steve Q replied to DerekR's topic in Audi Audio / DashCams / Electronics / Security
The trick to car security and home security is to make it look as tough as possible for any thief or burglar. They will always go for soft targets so the hard you make it for them, then the less of a target you become. The harder the target the longer it takes for them to break in/steal. Crooks hate taking too long when committing a crime as it leaves them vulnerable to be caught. So anything to slow them down is a good thing my uncle has a 2014 Vw Passat and still uses a steering lock :) -
Audi's in the Park....Chat thread
Steve Q replied to Audi Owners Club.'s topic in National Shows & Events
It's not a problem it's standard, the a8l is a special car! :) especially in your colour and trim combo. my a6 is standard it's just done 320,700 miles hence why it's special :) I have sent Trevor a message to clarify some details as I didn't originally arrange the event. Once I know il post on here :) thanks again for your interest and support. It is very much appreciated! Cheers Steve -
Nice mod Dan. The built in phones are cool! Have you had to upgrade the aerial at all?
-
Great colour combo Fraser! For me black exterior and black interior is best! :) what interior trim inserts did you go for e.g: wood, carbon, aluminium etc? I have to agree the 3.0tdi is the best for realistic use. But the w12 is awesome! It's just running it that's the problem! Yep im planning to be at Audis in the park, I'm going to update the list with your name in it. And yes I believe we are having a club stand. I will be speaking to Trevor and Brad about this shortly. Cheers Steve

Audi's in the Park....Chat thread

Glad to have you on board Fraser :) we'll add you to the list! would you like to display your a8? -
No worries Fraser :) to be honest it's always better to stretch your budget to get the car you truly want! What colour scheme did you go for in the end? And what engine did you choose? I'm not suprised your excited! I'm slightly envious! Would be great to see you at the shows and display your a8 :) cheers Steve
-
Welcome to the forum Fraser! :) you'll find the guys and gels on here are a friendly bunch :) good choice of motor, the a8l is a Fantastic car! Oh and don't forget to check out our events section! Your more than welcome to display your a8 at up and coming events with us! cheers Steve
-
Sorry you've had bad luck with the dealer but I would have to agree with you, it's highly unlikely to be a mechanical issue as both motors and switches are working normally. Hope it gets sorted soon cheers Steve
-
Thanks for that Dan :) I know knockhill race track and to be fair that's a good shout for a venue :) cheers Steve

To be honest Mark I wouldn't bother having it done and It's not compulsory for it to be done. I say that as iv worked in a Volkswagen service department. On most cars it was just a software update but on certain engines certain parts had to be added such as vibration dampers. The reason why I say not is because before the emissions update is done, a diagnostic check has to be completed. And from a diagnostic check you could be given horrible news that your car needs a new egr valve and cooler even if the car is running fine with no lights on the dash. If that makes sense. This was all too common at Vw. The emissions update cannot be completed if there are issues with the egr. On the other hand if you do have it done you should get a certificate to show its been completed which you can show the next owner when you come to sell the vehicle. Hope iv helped cheers Steve
-
We have to events which are slightly local to you. There's: VAG Tuner Live on the 16th July at donington park and audis in the park on the 13th august at Deenes park, Corby, Northamptonshire if you'd like to display your vehicle at either show then let me know :) cheers Steve
-
No worries Dan! I'm always on the lookout for new events. Once I've found one il post it. Alternatively if you find an event than by all means let us know and we will try and attend :) Oh and don't forget to add some pics of your t5 in the "what else do you ride/drive" section :) cheers Steve

Indicator & Tail Light problem(LED replacement)
Steve Q replied to WelshSue's topic in Audi A6 (C5) Forum
I know the front bulbs are tricky to replace and the air box needs removing so in order to get at the holder. You shouldn't have to remove the headlights. The problem you have is that the bulb holders weren't designed for led bulbs and as you rightly pointed out you would need load resistors. Sorry i can't be of any more help. Cheers Steve -
No worries Dan, I appreciate it's along way for you to travel. If you come across any events out your way than feel free to share it. We will be more than happy to rally some members as I know there are other members in Scotland :) cheers Steve
-
That's fine :) if you find any than let me know. Dont worry, I appreciate it's a long way for you to travel! Your welcome for the invite, it's just good to get members together when we can :) cheers Steve

Hi David, welcome to the forum :) shouldnt your a3 have the cup holders in the centre console, under the vent controls? Im unsure about the speaker lights to be honest cheers Steve
-
Welcome to the forum :) sorry to hear your having issues. My number one recommendation would be to take it back to where it was serviced as the issues only occurred after it had been there. Cheers Steve
