18" wheels - no TV

[Shoppinit]

Anything is possible. The tuner can have 2 AV inputs so you can plug what you want in it.

[swannny]

found it!

Flippin eck, that's better than anything i've got in the house!
OK, so upshot is nothing to worry about with this spec of car.
Will pursue the matter further.

FYI UK cars came fitted only with 19" rims. In Germany there was a choice of 18" or 19" . Audi UK felt 19's would be groovier. Ride on 19's poor. I bought Abt 18" rims in 2005 year after I got my Growler and not regretted this change. Use 245/40x18 97 Vreds. So far 151000 miles and still growling !!

[tmg]

yup

Here (Ireland) audi had the 19's as an option, I'm running 18s with 255/40s on them. I've only seen one car here with 19's and they were after purchase upgrades.

I did think a few times about it, but some of the roads I drive I would nearly prefer 17s

I thought the uk had 19's as standard, but could have 18's as a no cost option. Footers came with 18's on.

as swanney said above
I just looked thru a UK 2003 RS6 quattro price list ( which i got with the car), and it says
Standard Equipment
9j x19 'five arm' alloy wheels with 255/35/19 R19 low profile tyres
under the Optional Equipment section it says
8.5j x 18 '9 spoke' design alloy wheels with 255/40 R18 tyres = no charge ( Saloon and Avant)

[Shoppinit]

What does it say about the stereo options?

[swannny]

I'dlike one if those info sheets for reference.

Also, Is the etka listed on eBay the one to buy? Just be good to have a reference data sheet, and maybe something to cross check part numbers.

Its the 2003 RS6 quattro price list effective Jan 2003 , edition 1. 01/03

[Shoppinit]

Thanks. It used to be on here but the section with all the useful documents in disappeared.

Confirms what I thought about the stereo. What could possibly be the reason for choosing a Symphony over an RNS-D?

[swannny]

Somebody with a large tape collection!!

It really doesn't make sense, but thought it was really nice of Audi to not put the rnsd, remove tv and teletext, and not charge for it!

[Shoppinit]

Yeah, they're all heart.

Moved from 19" with summer tyres to 18" with winters. The ride is much nicer as I suspected but it doesn't look right on the 18"'s. I went back to my old ends (I think thats what the youth call it now instead of manor) in Essex Saturday and was glad I didn't see anyone I knew. It would have been a stoning outside of TOTS or the Hippodrome for having 18"s......
