Hey all, Update from previous post relating to you guys and your end of lease...... After a very long time away from potentially owning an S3, (thanks to job uncertainty, followed by a couple of kids arriving within 2 years of each other) and having to cancel the order, and getting a big ole...

hello all, Been away for a while whilst I had my midlife crisis (gave the 2 fingers to job, took year off,travelled with family around NZ), now back, landed what I think is the best job in the world, with a car allowance! Bought a Skoda kodiaq for the family car already (ruddy amazing...

Hello again all, After about 1 year in the wilderness (career gap year, big house move over the Irish Sea, new less stressful life away from the hustle and bustle of London), I’m back, and in the market for a new car - I grabbed a 12 year old 500 merc CLS to run around in during the time -...

Howdy all, Long story short, massive change in circumstances (kicking the job into touch to spend a year with the family, moving back to Ireland after 17 years in the big smoke, house for sale, A6 bitdi sold..... sob ) Now to find a set of cheap(ish) wheels to lug stuff around, whilst still...

Howdy, Don't get me wrong, I love my A6 BE bitdi, it's a very very capable motor, it was bought to help me get to and from work (50 mile round trip) in comfort, with a very decent turn of speed..... it was also bought with the expanding family in mind and to lug around the unreal amount of...

I have often mused on the rationale why anyone would order this as an option on the car, as to be honest I've never in my 25 years of driving heard of anyone say they just can't get the door to close right...... But today, today I just fathomed it....... I just put baby asleep in car seat in...

Whilst the old girl is in for the EGR valve replacement (3 days and counting due to wrong part being ordered.....) they advised that the rear brake pads are down to 5mm and will need replaced in a few months time. Offered to do it for £570 inc vat. I'm right in thinking a decent brake pad is...

all, just about to start a 5h journey to Belfast and the following light popped on. It has been running for about 10 minutes and no change. Think it's an emissions light. (Don't have the manual with me before I get flamed!) Any thoughts on what to do - I'm in the middle of nowhere in...

I took the car out yesterday for a quick spin to the shops, used the auto rear window sunshade for the first time. Got to shops, need to reverse out of the space - as soon as I selected reverse, it auto dropped the shade. Nice touch Audi!

Morning all, Have any of you bitdi owners serviced the car recently - I'm about to go on a bit of a tour (approx 2000 miles) of north wales / Ireland and back, and noticed that I've got a service coming up within the next 500 miles, so would prefer to get it done before hand. I live in...

Hello all, Normal Friday afternoon sat in the office with the emails cleared down, and just started thinking about the next motor (probably not for another 18 months or so!). Had a google on the new 2017 A6....... And wondered if I would go a6 again? To be honest (even as a directional...

I'll get a pic up tomorrow, but I've just noticed a scrape and a bit of paint peel (around 4 cm X 1cm) on the back bumper of my A6. She's normally parked on the street and we have a few kids around here on scooters / pushbikes that climb into the kerb between cars - looks like it's about pedal...

So last night the boss and I left at the same time, but in different areas of the car park....... Got down the road onto the dual carriageway and a little while later low and behold he pulled up beside me in his '15 Golf GTI (performance pack). We gave a knowing look to each other at the...

Evening all, I cannot believe I'm writing this! But I'm going off my A6 Bitdi BE saloon...... Loved it at the beginning, and thought I had forgiven its quirks (gearbox kickdown lag is probably the big one that springs to mind). It's just that it doesn't feel special anymore...... It has every...

Ok, just for fun....... I've had my Bitdi for around 8 weeks now, so here's a few thoughts...... Good; that engine, has to be the shining light! Bose sound system, sounds amazing with great depth of base. Steering is good (ok maybe a bit too light at low <20 mph speeds), loving the LEDs - turn...

So, are we to believe that the A6 is to be left out of the USA emissions debate? as so far, I've yet to see any mention of them in the press.... Forgive my naivety - but is it because they dont sell the 2.0ltr diesel in the USA, and concentrate on the 3.0? And to date that (3l) seems to be out...

Evening all, I've got 2 routes into work, one is 13 miles but is very stop start and I get 30 (at best) to the gallon the other is 23 miles, but I get 40 mpg, as a fair proportion of it is motorway..... So the question is - what is actually cheaper considering I'll be doing 50 miles per...

Hello all, Don't flame me if its been done before!..., I had a bit of a search with "wife" "second car for wife" etc and all it seemed to throw at me was incidents of prangs and bumps lol! After much head scratching with should I / shouldn't I with my imminent s3 arrival, due to our...

So, there is potentially going to be a change of circumstances in our household in about 7 months time...... (Ahem) and I now need to know how much you can get into the back of an S3 SB - ie will it be able to swallow a double buggy and all the other day to day gubbins that are associated with 2...

Is it a normal turn of events to get a bit of a "Do I REALLY need this car"? feeling with about 6 weeks to go!?!? I do want it, but a few niggles have set in....... Believe it or not one thing that set me wondering was because of mono blimmin pur!!!!
