Buying a tuned car

They are LED, not matrix.

Was talking about these:



As opposed to these which look like bi-xenons. Both on pre FL cars

Are these not the FL matrix led ones???

[doodlebug]

Yes, they are.

[Eddie555]

Yep those are FL ones. Also with the swooping indicators.

Yes, pre facelift are not matrix. Matrix means they automatically adjust individual LEDs when coming up to the rear of another car or a car coming the opposite way. So you can still have the full beams on for the rest of the road and they will individually dip for any other cars as you approach or pass them But still light up the road either side of the car.
Pre facelift are just normal LED and when on full beam they will all dip for an approaching car (high beam assist).

What are the thoughts on buying an already tuned car? I've done this before with a BMW M135i and some of the mods weren't to my (or other peoples) tastes which meant at resale time it was problematic (although the cost of those mods had already been paid by the previous owner). Obviously Audi warranty would be black flagged and they could wriggle out of a claim if they can identify the root cause of the fault lying with the tune.
Been looking at this one:

Litchfield Stage 2 so pushing 730 bhp. Doesn't say it has the Milltek just 'sports exhaust' (thought the Milly came with a Stage 2 Litchfield). Spec is great and pretty much bang on plus very low miles for the age of the car. Tune was installed only 4k miles ago.

Thoughts?

Litchfield 'Stage 2' is their own silly naming convention. (Stage 3 being the full Milltek exhaust, i.e 730hp

In other words Litchfield Stage 2 is everyone else's Stage 1 (just with a catback exhaust that yields very little horsepower if any at all) You need to remove the downpipes to be a Stage 2.

This car will be in the region of 660-680hp

Cheers, Don't suppose anyone knows what the difference (LED vs LED Matrix) is do they? They look pretty much the same-banks of individual LED lights

This is a good little film showing the benefits of the Matrix LED headlight. I didn't think they would live up to the portrayal in real life but I can honestly say they do!

Used my Matrix LED's for the first time last night.. Amazing technology! You can see the sections of LEDs turn off as cars come towards and pass you.

Do all RS6's come with illuminated RS6 logos on the sills, door handle lights, door pocket/armrest lights or is this FL only also?

All standard from launch.
