Yeah, very unlikely the 3.0 will be more fuel efficient. I know mine isn't, I'm lucky to get 30mpg but I only really drive A and B roads. Hell after a spirited drive the other day I managed a whopping 14mpg on the DIS! 300bhp sounds nice, my 3.0 is the really early 225bhp so best I can hope for...

I do like these statements, 'has no trouble passing the 3.0'. Of course it doesn't, it's putting out more bhp than the 3.0 because it's been remapped! Remap the 3.0 and it's slightly different story. That said, if that's genuine mpg it's pretty impressive, would like to know the actual mpg not...

Right, bit of an update to my last post in here. Now I'm used to it, I now pretty much drive in tiptronic as I mainly drive A/B roads. I've found I can have more 'fun' in tiptronic but still return a better mpg than just sitting in 'D'. The only time it sits in 'D' now is long motorway journeys...

I've just recently bought an A6 3.0tdi Avant. I'm the same as you and have always been a die hard manual driver. However the tiptronic box is actually quite nice once you get used to the 'lag'. I've surprised myself how often I find myself in the D or S position and just being lazy, in fact I...

Just read the whole of the thread, really informative write up. Thank you.

Really liking the stance with those, will have to order a set soon.

My new Avant.... Very few plans for it at the moment, de-badge, set of Eibach springs, some new wheels and a remap in the future once I get used to the extra power. Possibly black out the chrome and tints from B-pillar back. We'll see

Has anyone tried recoding their tiptronic box to take it back to the 'old' tiptronic? Info here Just wondering whether it's worth it or not.

Thanks everyone, looking forward to the drive back tomorrow. A remap is definitely on the cards as I need it for the insurance!

Well after finally deciding enough is enough with my A4 Avant today I put a deposit down on a '06 A6 Avant 3.0 TDi S-line. I pick it up on Saturday and quite frankly the week can't pass quick enough. Not exactly sure of the colour, it's the dark grey with a purple tint. Drives like a dream...

I think the 233 has the DPF filter, kind of like the Mk5 Golf GTTDi, the 140 doesn't have one, the 170 does. I'm guessing a slightly different map as well. However, I will qualify my statement by saying I am as mechanically minded as a hedgehog, so am probably totally wrong. Would be...

Low mileage 3.0TDi A6 Avant or a Disco 3....

Sorry, I must have edited my post just as you were typing yours. I got my chassis mixed up, should have been C6 A6! Thanks for the info though. Still undecided on whether to go for the larger size of the A6 (but a quieter forum!) or stick with an A4. Once we've moved I'll be able to put a bit...

Ok, wasn't sure whether to stick this in the A4 or A6 section, so decided to stick it here :) I've had enough of my B6 A4 and decided I need a change. I've recently changed jobs which now involves a lot of B road driving. I've looked at 4x4's but have decided I'll stick with Audi and go for...

I found picture online the other day with a TT and a raised bonnet, looked ok, but as others have said, the first thing I thought was that they had forgotten to shut it.

If it's any consolation, I bought mine with coilovers which I changed to Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs, luckily the top arms had been replaced by the previous owner. After that, I discovered I needed both driveshafts and CV joints changing. Got those fixed and discovered I needed both wheel...

Hi Mixxy I've just literally had mine done. No extra bolts were required, the ones from the existing carriers were used. Really pleased with the difference, although I'm not sure whether that's down to the larger discs or the fact I now have thicker pads!!

- The Mazda 6 driver I followed to work yesterday. Tailgating the car in front on country roads which meant he had to brake every couple of seconds, cutting corners so close he was actually mounting the grass verge. When the car he was tailgating had enough and sped off, he still managed to...

This is a timely thread, as my discs and pads need changing so am just about to do the upgrade. I have the correct carriers but just wondering whether I need any additional bolts for them?

I looked into this on a previous car. Decided it was easier and quicker just to go on a diet! But I see you've got that covered as well.....
