Hi All,

I'd like to introduce you to my new purchase. An A4 Avant Black Edition Nav TDI Quattro 190 in Sepang Blue!

I had quite a wait for it as the first one I ordered was held up whilst they introduced the new engine and once it finally arrived at the beginning of July it wasn't the Quattro, after a very quick turn around and some favours pulled by the dealership, Betty Black Edition, (not my choice) turned up in mid August.

First and only outing so far was a camping road trip to the east and west coasts of Scotland. Really pleased with the way it drives and it looks fantastic...and as it turns out you cant order these anymore so it would appear that it could be a rare one?!

Betty is a 6 speed manual TDI Quattro with the new 190ps ad blue engine. Has all the standard black edition features (black pack, B&O stereo, parking sensors, bluetooth and 19 inch rims) this model also has Tech Pack Advanced High (satnav, AMI, adaptive cruise, lane assist and brake assist) it also has heated seats, ski load through, storage pack and led light pack.

The only thing I wish I'd got is electric folding mirrors.

If anyone can tell me how to upload bigger better pictures that would be appreciated :)

Will be moving to Leeds/Bradford area in a month or so and if anyone is willing to help me out with a few VCDS mods I'm sure I can help out with some beer!

Cheers Scott. After ordering one with 5 arm rotors originally I was uncertain about them but as soon as I saw them on the car I had to keep them...mission one is not to ding them on any curbs!!

Lovely! Sepang really is a great colour isn't it! Is yours 'pearl effect'?

Hopefully, now it's becoming popular, I can get a touch-up from Audi (you couldn't 12 months ago!).

Yeah, looks really good even after a week of Scottish dust and muck! I think it is the Pearl, didn't realise they did a non pearl?!

I don't think they do a non-pearl actually (I think they may have just dropped 'pearl' from the description).

If there had been/are 2 versions of Sepang, it might go some way to explaining why it's been impossible to obtain a flippin' touch-up pen from Audi. LY5Q is my code, I wonder if Audi can supply this now....

I'll ask next time I'm in my local dealer....

Nice colour and nice wheels. Not the common rotor thingies! Probably the best looking B8 Avant I've seen. :arms:

So happy to have found this thread. Beautiful cars you have there! Swapping my 2012 A5 Coupe for a 65 plate A4 Avant 190 next weekend, although mine is not quattro and multitronic rather than manual. Too many journeys on the M1 and M3: I'm tired of manual now! Hope you're enjoying them, I can't wait to pick mine up.
