Quick Allroad transimission question

[ukgroucho]

Ive noticed that but they all seem to have the 20 inch rims and as shes attracted to kerbs I really wanted 18s!

No the standard rims for the allroad BiTdi are 18"s... that's what I have. 19" may have been the standard on the later (facelift) sport but 20" were definitely an option you had to go for.
Don't really see the sense of 20" on the allroad even if you add the sport diff and dynamic steering stuff as it's simply not "that car".

I have 18" summers (stock) and a set of winters I bought from ebay.de - standard audi fare but after-market as there are loads for sale because Germany requires winter tyres so many manufacturers make winter wheels a checkbox on the order - easy to pick up winter wheels with barely used rubber.

I BELIEVE that the 18" are the smallest that you can have on an allroad BiTdi because the callipers will not fit inside anything smaller - and ignore comments on regular A6 SE BiTdi or whatever that say they have 17" (which may be the case) because the allroad has bigger rear calipers (apparently) to support the hill decent system (that I will never use).

Nope. My October 2013 Avant SE has 17” rims. Odd but true. However, I do have adaptive cruise, blind spot monitoring, comfort seats, Bose, full sun roof, adaptive lights, auto dip, tow kit, lane assist and a few other things I can’t remember. An Audi salesperson called it a ‘unique’ spec which could only be replaced if I bought a new one. Fab for towing my caravan to Europe though

Went and saw a 2014 Allroad today, things I liked
The elec tailgate
The gearbox was way better than I was expecting
The ride, a smooth riding Audi ah bottom bliss!
Park sensors on the nav screen way better than her currect 2011 model
The look on the salemans face when I nailed it!

Things I didnt like
The part exchange offer
The a/c didnt work
Salesman told me it was new stock, yet I knew they had it for at least 3 months
Saleman reckoned it didnt need servicing, yet last oils were 15k ago
Few minor scrapes
The fact they had aerosol painted the callipers and the dics and the disc hubs AND the brake pads!
All in all a nice enough car but not nice enough

So I have convinced her she needs to up her budget and get what she wants rather than looking for a car in her imaginiary price range.

Thanks for all the advice, especially UKGroucho
