Very nice looking A6. I'd do something about that brown wood-ish trim though. :P

I might have a look on fleabay/breakers yards and see what's available, but first up is to see can I get new buttons for the centre console. Every single one I looked at had worn buttons - not great quality plastics by the looks of things.

What year is the A6?

And what mpg can be got from these?

Eoin

It's a 2002 car. I don't know (and will do my best to ignore) the MPG. I'd say just over 30 though.

Cruise control is a good retrofit for MPG and motorway cruising.

I just covered the wood trim in my old A4 with faux carbon fibre wrap from Ebay, looked a lot better than the wood trim.

Nice, well wear.

One suggestion: put the disk holders on the vertical, better visually that way IMO (this applies to all cars).

You mean swap it to be horizontal? Yeah I agree, they look better the "normal" way.

What was in my head when I posted was "They're vertical, put 'em horizontal"

out on site at hook lighthouse today (and the last few Thursdays). Car ferry is the handiest way there, it's a somewhat unusual experience.

The seller said the previous owner had a handsfree installed and that that is the remnants of it. So I'm thinking of either leaving it and maybe buy a phone holder or destroy the car so I can get rid of it
Yep the 2.2, 117k on it and no signs of chain or manifold problems (yet) only issue for now is the EML coming on at certain times. Keep forgetting to get the codes read.

Nice car.

At least the previous owner didn't have the dash butchered for the sake of a car kit. Or in my case, twice! :mad:
