Welcome! Car must run pretty smooth and comfy with those shocks and mounts. Nice of the OP to include those extras, seems like a well maintained car :slight_smile:

#3

Welcome, and I added You to the how many 3.0L thread.

Did You buy the Weathertech floor liners or are they from the last owner?

I have them and thats $180. for all 4 well spent!

#4

The mats were already there. It’s not perfect but it’s a very very good daily.

One of the most fun cars I’ve ever driven. Probably second behind my 944s.

#5

Welcome! She looks clean, what are your plans for her ?

#6

I don’t have any big plans. I would like to put some bigger wheels with summer tires on next summer. My sister-in-law’s neighbor has an A6 2.7t with nice Audi wheels or ones with Audi center caps. I’d like JHM retune and down pipes but I didn’t see it on their website. Other than that, I need to get a utility trailer to pull behind it.

I say that now but if I sell my 89 Porsche 944 the A4 will get more stuff. And my wife will hate it!

My only problem right now is the second keys keyless doesn’t work. The key works fine and I checked at AutoZone with the rf/ir checker and it does transmit.

#7

Also going to ask for a Ross-tech vagcom from Santa.

Threw a code p1176 on the way home tonight. Cleared it and we’ll see if it comes back.

Go legit and buy the ROSS-TECH!

But if You can’t here is another solution.
Its cheap it works.
You can’t update it or the software. Renders the cable/tool useless.
Looks like the version You can download from them is hacked to recognize their cable/tool.
Not like the lite verson that stops letting You reset the oil change service reminder.
