    Looking to buy 2011 A6 3.0TDI Quattro

    I've actually had a change of heart lads, the VRT on a 2011 3.0 Quattro is 4370 due to high emissions, a 2013 2.0 S Line Black Edition is 4320 despite the car being worth a few thousand more, also think the interior is far nicer and I'll save €480 in tax a year plus I imagine better fuel economy...

    Looking to buy 2011 A6 3.0TDI Quattro

    Probably head over next week, company selling the car Sascron won't budge on price which is unfortunate, he's said one of the tyres isn't perfect so I've asked for that to be changed, few scuffs on the alloys so maybe they might do something on that but unlikely. It's at the higher end of what...

    Hi, It has to be Quattro and that car would cost me about 2k more because of VRT to Ireland..

    Looking to buy 2011 A6 3.0TDI Quattro

    Hi guys, looking to change from an A4 to a facelift A6 2011 3.0TDI Quattro S Line, the one I'm looking at has 84k miles, I'm just wondering are there any major parts possibly going to need replacing shortly after I buy? I'm aware things can go wrong with any car as I've found out with my current...

    Post pics of your B7 A4/S4!

    Love the front, I don't like black alloys for myself, but they're not bad. Hate the rear lights!!!

    Interior LEDs

    I'm useless at fitting anything to cars but I'm interested in upgrading the interior lights, my A4 doesn't even have a light on the passenger sunvisor. Would a mechanic do this or is it specialised?

    Flights booked to Manchester for Tuesday to pick up 2007 Audi A4 2.0TDI S Line Special Edition 170 all black with black grille, RNS-E and Two tone S-Line leather as standard. 130k on the clock with belts etc done at 80k and all receipts. Just under £6k plus VRT and expenses to be added. Can't wait!

    Thanks for the reply Phil, I'm 99% importing now and have only one small problem. On the VRT site they list two variants of what I'm looking at, a 170PS and 168BHP, the problem with this is that as far as I know the logbook says 170 but not a denomination, VRT on 170PS is €2900 and VRT on...

    Thinking of buying this B7 A4 but...

    Have decided instead to import one from the UK, I find that there's a lot more choice on eBay than anywhere else for some reason, they had been blocking search results for UK cars on .ie website so I thought there was just none there. AUDI A4 S LINE SE 2.0 TDI 170 SPECIAL EDITION | eBay I put...

    Cheers for reply, is there an easier way of sorting out the clear corners? Cos there's no way I'd be able for that tutorial, not my forté :P I reckon it's already been remapped, Cupra R splitter would be nice alright, keep it black or spray it?

    00-01 1.8T Quattro Sport Wanted!

    Hey I haven't been here for awhile. But should mention that the following March (2010) I picked up my first TQS, still have it, and just sold my 2005 BMW 320CD to go back to it!!

    No problem I'm a big Newcastle fan so I'd go see a match while I'm there. Is yours standard or have you done a few things to it?

    00-01 1.8T Quattro Sport Wanted!

    On the contrary my friend, it is almost impossible to get a 1.8TQS over here, and if you do find one it will be bog standard with no extra's for about 5-6k. As soon as I sell my car I'll be checking around for one in the UK and buying straight away, the VRT is a pain in the *** but have no...

    Oh and it goes without saying if I was to buy your car you wouldn't have to tax or MOT it, but I would have 1200 euro to pay in VRT scam tax...
