Think I'll give VAGparts a go too, just grabbed the part no's from Tyresmoke. Gonna have a look at the one thats on the car first though to make sure the stealers weren't trying to pull a fast one saying it needed doing. They were trying to tell me an advisory on the MOT meant I needed new tyres...
This thread is very appropriate today so comes in very handy. My Avant was in for its first MOT today and failed on a corroded rear ARB. Cant believe a 3 year old car can be so corroded but there you go. Newcastle Audi were wanting £185 for replacing it with a standard one but seemed a little...
As long as its got a full service history there isn't to much to go wrong really other than checking out the bits you mentioned and obviously keep an eye out or any accident damage.
depending on what year you are going for the 17" alloys may be standard, they were on my 04 plate avant anyway...
Nightmare..!!
I'd stick with the standard rims though and either go for a refurb, or sometimes you can pick up the odd new OE wheel on fleabay quite cheaply without a tyre.
Oh, and I went down the El cheapo route with a private plate too...all for 250 sheets. :)
Has anyone got any comments to make on costs at Newcastle Audi...???
My car is due a Service (on 95k) and 1st MOT in the coming weeks but having just started a new job recently money isn't as abundant as I'd like it to be.
Did get something from them last week about a Premier Plus 3 plan...
Thats not good mate but I'm sure they will sort it out. The reason for some problems is that they have had staff leaving and some of the people they got on weren't up to scratch, causing problems. Seems to be better now though. But its all audi approved and under guarantee so I'm sure they'll be...
Well the whole episode is finally over. The 4 days turned into 17 days but the finished job is spot on and I'm finally happy with the car again.
I got a bit of info on staffing problems they've had recently so perhaps thats where my hassles stemmed from.
Top marks to a guy called Tyson who...
I quite like the lambo wheels, they are a bit ugly but very different.
I love the Hartmann DTM rims but dont know what shipping would cost to the UK. They are top quality US rims and look like the MTM Bimoto's. Some pics here but no Avants pictured so I'm not sure if anyone can photochop em...
I made the mistake of jetwashing my XR3i many moon ago and spent a further hour at the garage trying to dry it. Eventually solved when I took off the distributer cap and water poured out..!!
Plenty WD40 should do the trick.
I know exactly what you mean mate and I'm very happy with my sport. Following a remap though you will need to be gentle with your right foot lol. Its all to easy to spin the wheels in 1st, 2nd and even 3rd if its damp.
I think the S4 rims look great and you dont see many of them out there. I've been looking at Gallardo reps online today but they are 19s not 18s...look great though. RS6's look very good but they are all over the place now.
I love the look of the polished A8's on the move as well, but its all...
