Audi A4 B6 Avant Quattro sport 3.0 V6 Manual

B6 A4
#1

Just joined the site’ before i have a look around here’s my Audi A4. Info copied and pasted from another forum.

Well when to pick up the Audi A4 Avant up from Derby today, was located at some posh Italian Cafe and hidden around the back in the yard, when the owner opened the gates and i first seen it was well impressed, looked loads better in person than on the pictures, Very well looked after, all belts, water pump done, new brakes, tyres and so on…

Audi A4 Avant - 3.0 V6 Quattro sport
Manual 6 speed
Full leather, Dual climate, etc etc
Full History

Only probs with it is its missing the tow eye cover from the front, No parcel shelf and the problem i had at first with the Leon, Boot unlocks when it wants, Going to sort these next week,

Future plans

Coilovers
My RH Wheels
Satin Audi rings front and back
De badge rear
Satin Grill surrounds
Exhaust
Purple Calipars
Purple & Black engine cover
Gear knob
Carbon interior inserts

Only thing im stuck on is, the colour of the car is like a charcole black, wanted to do the window trim (Chrome trim) and my wheel centres and dishes black, will i have to do them body coloured or will satin black centres and dishes look better.

Will get some pictures of the interior soon, On the way back from Derby when i picked the car up only had 40 Miles left in so a mile down the road before setting off i put £40 in the tank, took the guage to half way, when i got home still had 170 Miles left :slight_smile:

not much of an update, But this afternoon took the standard airbox out, smoothed the top and bottom completely took all the ridges away, and added some holes cold side of the box,

It sounds much better, id say double the sound which it sounds nice, but remember doing this back in the day to old astra GTE’s etc and sound was way louder :frowning:

Basicly not as loud as i expected it maybe just me, debating weather to get an Open Cone, I.E Jetex or Green cotton and making my own heatshield like the Jabbasport one i had for the Leon.

Went down to Johns this morning to get the Avant mapped.

Had in my head what i was going to get out of it etc, But my word, ive never had a mapped N/A before, and its miles better than i expected, its awesome having no lag, you cant half tell its been done’ so smooth and the torque is very impressive, also alot more roar than before too which has put a massive smile on my face. all in all John @ Big Fish Tuning has done it again.

Also another suprise which he had, he gave me some business cards he had made up, and on the back is a picture of my Leon’ I appreciate that so much and is so nice of the fella as it acknowledges the work i put into that car, massive thanks John, you a star

Also took the tyres of my RH wheels last week, and the bolts out one’ need to do the rest, ready to paint. Going for Satin black centres with matching Satin black dishes with Polished bolts for now. Just think it will be alittle different from the polished dishes as alot of people have them now especially with REPS.

The Rear Bumper got delivered yesterday’ The picture of it previously posted was from the add, Had a look at it today and its in great condition apart from some very light surface scuffing on one corner, but ill probs get it painted with the Front one i have anyway, its probs in better condition than the one thats on now. Going to give it a wash at the weekend and ill take some decent pictures of it.

Theres only one slight dilemna’ The new rear has parking Sensors’ and theres 2 missing where as the standard bumper which is on now doesnt have Parking sensors, So may look into if i can get 2 sensors for the bumper cheap and maybe wire them in, if i didnt take take that option its filling and smoothing the holes when it gets painted.

#14

not much of an update but was bored today so decided to do the remote windows mod working from the key fob’ its got me searching for more daft little things

Got my Finger out’ kind off, Couldnt be arsed to take pictures so not the best, Shot blasted my wheels last night, decided to go the full hog as i didnt want to be a scene queen with shiny dishes and want to be hard as nails :slight_smile: and pleased i did as the results from blasting is quality’ pictures dont do them justice

Also bought these Dust caps just to add alittle something

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4724/img1002cp.jpg

Purchased S-line side skirts too, went for these over S4 door blades as more subtle and suite the votex front better. last peice i need is a roof spoiler, then they can go and get painted, plan was for the front end to be painted but only 3 weeks left at college now so the fella i know who runs the body repair and spay painting doesnt have enough time, looks like august now :frowning:

#17

Why i was away at the weekend the neighbourgh was kind enough to take in a parcel which was the S-Line side skirts i bought, was over the moon for the price especially alot of them are missing the end caps what are for sale.

Well finally got around to fitting the AP Coilovers i purchased around 8 Month ago, They excellent quality, more than happy with them, unsure what drop it sits at as just set them’ Opinions/Advice welcome all is good untill i go to park on the drive and the exhaust clamp threads catch and cant get the car on the drive, so friday will spin them around so they are sideways and should be fine’ Out of all the things :@
