Hi folks,

Just putting up an early post to see if there is any interest in my A6.

I am working in Ireland at the minute and have been using the car as our UK car and for running back and forth but customs in Ireland don't like this, in fact they don't like it at all.

So as long as it is in my name I can't be seen with this car after the middle of next month over here unless I import it or get it out of the country for good.

This is a massive blow to me to be honest as I really like the car and was enjoying running and improving it. Initially I will put it over to my old man's in Scotland as there might be a chance of going home but if this does not work out I will have to sell as I don't want it to sit.

So details. I bought the car around a year ago of Spink on here.

Mileage 203,000 (feels like a quarter of this).
Manual

Extras: Sunroof, Air con (charged and working), Headlight washers, Xenon lights (I think), Cream Leather (driver seat bolster not good), front sports seats, front electric seats, 4 heated seats (not working still need to investigate), cruise control (not working still need to investigate), fuel/trip and check computer, aux gauges, remote central locking (working). leather steering wheel, electric sunroof, outside temp gauge (back light not working).

Recent work: replacement front wings and bumper. 4 new handkook tyres, rear pads, new battery.
Working happening this week: Timing belt kit (genuine Audi obviously!), thermostat and water pump. Handbreak cables, rear control arms.

I bought the car with around 194,000 on it. Been very reliable, very tight and body in above average condition I would say with a few age expected dings. Next on my list was a rear bumper, then tail gate, but don't really detract from the car as it is.

I have had a little bit of bother with it running hot (you will see threads on here) but think the thermostat is not working, various warm and cold pipes around system so while in there I am replacing the belt kit as well. I already had the parts ordered so committed.

Other niggles I have sorted were the oil seal on the heat exchanger and the header tank and cap. The float sensor started leaking on the header tank. Car is on its second oil/filter service since owning it, also have done the other filters once as well.

The car will also have a fresh MOT next month.

Price, no idea. Really don't want to sell and if I do get work back home I will not be that is for sure, but unfortunately for 2 reasons that is not looking likely right now.

I will add more photos and detail as we go. Any questions just shout.
