which ESP version would an '03 B6 have? I noticed on the Audi website that version 8.0 automatically dries your brakes for you in wet weather - how cool is that?

Not sure what version the B6 has but I would say it doesn't have the brake drying option. I remember the ad for BMW which advertised this 'gimmik'. To be honest I've driven in very wet weather and when I have come to brake, I found no difference in the braking capabilties.
The only real positve affect it has is on the mpg as it would create a bit of drag. :D

thanks Dave,
I know what you mean. I'm normally the biggest cynic when it comes to things like this, but if it only saved you one metre of stopping distance in extreme weather, that could just mean one less son or daughter going under a front wheel? Just a thought,
