Thanks Steve, paintwork came out perfect, I am delighted with the final result. In Ireland these cars literally do not exist, I took it to different car meets here and all ppl said the same thing "I've never seen one before". This is why at first glance they think its an AliExpress beefed up A6 :o T...

Looking good.

Only thing is front badge position needs correcting.

Good job BamBam didn't see that!!! But as he's rarely here these days, I'll do it in his absence..... 'BADGETARD'!!

Hey Dunc. Long time no speak. Hope you are well. Still running pork ? Morning Steve. All's good here cheers, hope things are healthy your side :thumbs: Nah, sold the Porsche over 2 years ago now. We didn't use due to the wife working from home and was silly having it just sat there, due to the craz...

Can you get the pollen filter housing made? no longer available and mines all cracked and leaking.

The pollen filter housing is a good idea.

I’m based in Hastings, East Sussex. Any decent specialist garages you know down here? I’m currently using a VAG specialist in Pevensey https://www.qstuning.com/ http://camspeconline.com/ there used to be an ex Audi MasterTech there called Stuart, but I believe he has moved on and possibly set up on...

What are the other 4 cars above it in the pecking order?

Dunc. Your rs6 is up for sale. Fancy a reunion? I couldn't own it again after someone else has had it Steve. Dunc.... aka 'Ross" Red RS6 .....aka 'Rachael' 'Ross' just keep telling yourself... 'We were on a break!' :biggrin3: And everyone always wanted Ross and Rachael to get back together :redrs4:...

Cut the nut!!

Even if you have to buy a Dremel just for the job, its a hell of a lot cheaper and easier that buying and fitting a new cooler.

Is ‘Trups’ from here still working his magic on headlights??

I’m beginning to think the ferry journey and drive down to see my old mechanic is the better option. I trust him and there’s a lot to be said for that.

2400 euros for an Audi dealer sounds about right. Assuming that includes the waterpump and thermostat. Yes they are included. It’s done less than 5000 miles since last belt and water pump etc so was wandering whether to get the water pump done again? I’m just not sure if I trust them to do the job ...

Guess a ferry trip to Unit20 is a no go? My old RS6 went to Ireland, but I don't know who the new owner uses. That was such a great car. I'm pretty sure I saw an advert over here with your car on it. Are you in contact with the new owner by any chance? Audi Dublin just got back to me............ €2...

My best mate is from Portstewart so would be an excuse to see him next time he’s back at his folks.
I’d be interested to see what you think of them and how much they charge for the belt etc.

I moved back to Ireland 5 years ago. The cambelt is now a year overdue, although it’s only done 5000 miles since the last one. I can’t find any independent specialists so I thought I’d try Audi Cork. I was told they don’t have the necessary tools and none of their ‘technicians’ have ever done one! I...

When I bought mine about 9 years ago, I had to stop off on the way home to fill it up....... €115!!! Boy did I get a shock. I remember thinking have I bitten off more than I can chew.
But 9 years on I still love it, just can’t afford to tax it now I’m in Ireland.
