What did you do to your A6 today?

[awdjunkies]

Are you also going to do the wood grain(As in match the plaid from the panels) or leave it as is?

[Spanglo]

On Monday new front & rear spacers, and had magnaflow mufflers installed.

[jmgraham78]

maybe a possible thread on the DIY for the plaid door inserts? I like, but I have all black interior and maybe suede would look good there, black suede...
Seeing as how I plan all pillars, visors, and headliner to be suede as well...

I could do a write up.....but when i said "factory plaid" i meant it! :) I swapped the entire inner panel from a donor vehicle, it was pretty easy actually. The hardest part is locating the panels themselves. They are pretty rare ;)

Here is the passenger side...all done for now. I do need to get it into a body shop for some tweaking, i could only do so much to get them to line up.



I'll get er washed up and get some more proper pics soon

I have different plans for the woodgrain...if i could source the plaid i would consider it. I doubt i can get my hands on that material though.

[A6Avant]

Washed her down after a parking lot drifting evening in fresh falling white stuff!

[UberTeile]

I gave the Avant a "bath" today in close to freezing temperatures(brrrrrrrr). I thoroughly dried the jams & hinges and lubed the locks...don't wanna be froze-out tomorrow morning. Also cleaned the glass, polished the headlamps, and detailed the alloys.

On the downside...threw a cel last night. Probably another sporadic secondary air fault...I'll find out for sure on Mon. morning.

And the 1st stop in my door shaving process. Rub strip gone...door handle next.



This is a work in progress and will continue to change weekly until i finish up this spring.

So.. I've always hayed these anyways. But, I was under the impression that there are holes behind them, and you had to fill them.

You say you need to have a body shop look at it to line things up.. Could you go into this a little deeper, I'd like to get rid of mine, and if its just glue, then I can do it much sooner than having to actually do body work.

Plugged in ipod with my Xmas playlist

Merry Christmas, fellas

[UberTeile]

I took my sparkly clean Avant out for a spirited "pre-snowstorm" drive on dry roads before the white chaos begins tomorrow.

[8520]

Put in new floormats, and a new hazard switch.

[8520]

Yeah, I want mine gone too.

[green a6]

[Matt@H2OTuning]

It is not an easy process guys. :( I need to get into a body shop to re-align the doors...since i chose to remove them from the car. The doors 100% have holes and an indent behind the rub strip.

[Hambone101]

Played in the snow today with the car, found an untouched parking lot.....not anymore, lol

[green a6]

ah, fuck it, there goes that idea

i love the way it looks but its not worth the cost/work involved

appreciate the info though! i love how it came out!

[Gumby]

Finally put the allroad in winter mode...

Put on the winter wheels with 20mm spacers in the rear, and 15mm in the front. Put on some Bosch icon wiper blades. And ordered some OEM rubber floor mats at the dealer, should be here Monday.

I'll post a picture up in the winter thread tomorrow.

[EErie B6]

Lets see a pic. Gumby.

i just put my 15mm spacers on today too.

=/ ...should have put 20mm on the rear.

I almost think 20/25 would have been better still.

[Gumby]

I'll post up a picture tomorrow for sure. It got dark while I was finishing up, so couldn't get a shot :/

The 20's in the rear are pushing it, They're pretty much flush. I haven't driven with them on yet because I want to check clearances on everything in the light. I'm worried it might rub a little :(

But you know what they say, if you ain't rubbin...

[patrick23]

i finally have something to post- I just un-tinted a part on each taillight-

[awdjunkies]

I think I am going to try and do the mud flaps in a few.

[Vinchenzo51]

primed my B6S4 wheels for paint

going gunmetal for a winter set

drying time is almost up, i'll post pics later!

[Vinchenzo51]

I fought the power steering rack, and I won. Got it replaced, man is that a PITA. Not so much hard work as it is about 2 bolts that are just an absolute MOFO to deal with. However, as long as this rack doesn't leak (doesn't appear to so far) then I'm all good. Still beats replacing a rack in a A1 VW with a 16v (motor has to come out).

[awdjunkies]

Vinny, that color looks good.

Calimus, I am glad you didn't give up man!!

[4ringAR]

when i got off work i found this written on my rear window; so i guess it got dubbed "THE audi" today, but not really sure by who haha.

[awdjunkies]

Hahaha, Nice!! . A good start to the new year huh? Better that, than a NOTE apologizing for them hitting your vehicle.

[EErie B6]

and better the glass than the paint.

[green a6]

just got the oil changed

[jmgraham78]

carbon fiber wrap finished and installed last night....

also realized that my girl needs a bath... meh...

[2001A6]

Washed it, only for the weather report to be wrong. Now its half ass snowing. :(

[Calimus]

Replaced the one bad tire up front (these 19"s gotta go, $211 for one tire sucks) and got the car aligned since I replaced the steering rack last week. Now I just have to figure out the right procedure for zero'ing out the steering angle sensor. Seems to be several ways to do it.

Timing belt service on my allroad today....pretty sure it was on the original belt with 130000 miles. the belt was cracked like you wouldn't believe
