Aly Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 very nice mate, just went the same route as yourself and bought an 07 S-Line. couple of comments/questions: - please put the chrome audi rings back on the front! Looks like they have fallen off and left a gap. I actually like the look, so is staying as is... Ties the rest together imho! - when you painted the window surrounds did you remove the trims or just mask them off? Mine are crappy along the bottom of each window and I dont know if I should replace or plastidip them. Did not remove them, as its a door cards off job! I'm assuming yours have gone cloudy? Very common issue unfortunately... I'd actually recommend getting them vinyl wrapped as it will last a lot better than plastic-dip! Will cost a little more but it'll be worth it in the long run (that's what I'm getting done) - what made you get the parrot vs AMI upgrade? or did you not have bluetooth for the phone already? Well the reason being the dealer wouldn't pay for the OEM set up, and this system kind of works for me as now I have all the connections in the glove box, sd card reader, ipod, iphone, usb reader, aux port. as well as streaming through the Bluetooth. Im in the same boat re rims. I cant really think of nicer 19" rims that I REALLY want. Im tempted by the ones you posted but the reps dont seem to be as nice as the oem ones. So I might just get the rs6s refurbed. I'm holding out for a set of OEM RS6 wheels also.. They are going for about 1.4k + though! So what variant did you go for??? Looks lovely Welcome to the dark side!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 its a 2.0TDI 140bhp. Gonna get it mapped though. Its ok but a little sluggish at lower revs etc so should waken it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 My mate has a remapped 2.0Tdi, it's now about 180bhp! Goes really well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 My missus has the 2.0ltr Tdi 170bhp Leon. Awesome engines!! I think remapped it should be closer to 200bhp or more but i'd never let her get it remapped as she speeds enough as it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pablo has the 140bhp so I think 200 + is being a bit optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think he means his wifes 170 Id be happy with 170 out of mine tbh. Dont want mega torque on it as Id like the DMF to last a LONG time momo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebgreen Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 In the A3 at one point the 140bhp and 170bhp version both had identical 2.0 tdi engines and both could be tuned up to about 200bhp ish. I think they stopped doing that and then both had slightly different turbos. What's the difference between the 140 and 170 2.0 tdi in the a6? Apart from bhp obv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Don't the 2.0 TDIs blow up/fail quite often? Or did they get round to fixing that when CR replaced PD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yes the CR's are WAAAAY more reliable.. Something to do with an oil pump IIRC. It stops working and the engine runs dry hence wrecked engine in the PD models but I think there's a fix out there. Kinda like the swirl flap issue on BMW's. The CR's simply don't need it and are all around more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 They sorted the issue with the later post 2010 (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 PD reliability is WAY overblown. There are BILLIONS of the feckers on the roads in everything from leons to golfs / A4s / the lot. Early ones suffered from injector problems (replaced under recall) and oil pump issues. Oil pump was bad in the 05/early 06 cars iirc, and better (but not perfect) in the 06 and on cars. so much nonsense about them. they are a terrific engine, much better than the 1.9s to drive.

Aly Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yeah the 2.0 is way more refined. At the end of the day how many people join a forum to say how good their engine/car is??? That's the problem with the interweb! Too much scaremongering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aly Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 So finally made a decision on the Alloys today. Balanced and fitted today..Spec are as follows..Bridgestone Potenza tyres - 255/35/19Wheel size - 8.5 x 19 Stud pattern - 5 x 112 Offset - ET32 CB - 66.6 Audi Part No - 8T0 601 025 HSpeedlines They were originally on an S5. The rear does rub slightly so I'll be looking into getting the rear's rolled! Anyone done this on a C6?Anyways... Not many pics as it's raining pretty heavy atm! Bit of poke anyone?

momo Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Looking good! Won't you need arches rolling and thinner rear tyres to get them to fit proper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aly Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 BeforeAfterSo got the car alignment done. Using a 'Hunter' DSP600. As you can see from the results they weren't that bad! But after speaking to John (Owner of Pro-Grip) at length we decided to leave the camber at the rear! As this could make matters worse for me (in regards to the rubbing issue) John also stated my car is 10mm lower than a std S-Line spec car... I wonder why??? Nonetheless I'm happy with the way the car feels and for £58 I can't complain...So the hunt is on for a metal machine person that can take a little off my wheels!

Aly Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Has been done a 2nd time now. Holding up a lot better than the first time round! Badges were replaced for black ones... Resident Curry Muncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aly Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi all. Well today I got delivery of these bulbs and load resistor packs to fit to the bus!!!http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=270845628917http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271014350258The plan is to change the setting to DRL's using VCDS. Not to everyone's taste but I quite like the crisp not to bright look! I had to butcher the load resistor packs a little to make them fit into the fog housing! I'll get some nite time pics up soon..Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
