new to the C5 A6: brakes, wipers, and floor mats questions?

[fritzner]

i've had a B6 A4 for over 6 years now and follow the forums quite a bit, but i'm not very familiar with the C5 A6.. my parents are getting one this wknd and i'm trying to help them out..

brakes
i put A6 3.0L 12.3" brakes on my 1.8T A4, but others go a step further and put B6/7 A4 or even S4 brakes on their A4.. does that mean you can put B7 S4 brakes on a 3.0L A6??..

aerowipers
new B6 A4s and B7 A4s have the really nice aerowipers.. i was able to swap out the old style wipers for the new aero ones.. do C5 A6's have aerowipers??.. can they be upgraded with OEM parts??..

floor mats
where's the cheapest place to buy all-weather mats and rear cargo mat??..

thanks!!..

just google the mats or ebay them, and depends on what year for the aerowipers, my A6 is a 2004 S-Line, and it has the aerowipers , but our 2001 A6 doesnt have them, so i don't no, but you can buy them, also about the brakes, im not sure.

I get my OEM Audi parts from www.genuineaudiparts.com . They have the OEM Audi rubber all weather mats for $91 a set. Their prices are a lot less than my local dealer. The shipping should be quick and cheap for you as they are in SoCal as well...

thanks for the replies.. they are looking at an 04, so it sounds like it should have the aerowipers, cool..

another thing i thought of.. i was able to easily make my glovebox cooled with an OEM tube from the AC, can you do that on the A6??..

[fritzner]

what about an S6 or RS6 rear sway bar??.. are they thicker??.. cheap??.. interchangeable??..

S4 and RS4 rear sways are very popular ungrade since they are direct OEM bolt-on and inexpensive..

My 02 Avant 3.0 has aerowipers. | How many miles? From a reputable Audi dealer? |
Make sure that TBELT and H20 pump are done if not - make them do it for free or part of the deal. Another thing - ask them if the FUEL tank has been replaced. There is a recent recall on that too!

You want your glove compartment cooled? Hhmmmm.
Anyway - your IN DASH cupp holder is cool to use. The AC vent will cool your H20 bottle or soda pop in less than an hour.

Another 04 S-line here: does it need aero wipers? Seems like I would have to order them.

Can't I use Bosch or something similar available locally? That thread I linked has someone saying they couldn't get Bosch Icons to fit.

If you have OEM aero wipers you have to use OEM because they are not available at your local auto parts store.

How can one tell if they have OEM aero wipers? Or are all '04 S-lines, like Frank's, equipped with aeros?
