New A6 Black Edition Arrived

[Az1]

Hi all

Finally got the call that my new car has arrived, went down to audi yesterday to sign all the paperwork etc and should be able to pick it up on monday. I've been like a little kid waiting for christmas since i ordered it back in September.

Thanks A6_Chris. I did try uploading a picture from my phone but no luck, I will upload some tomorrow once I have the car.

Well I picked up the car last night, WOW. Unfortunately it was too late to take pictures but I will definately be taking some over the weekend and post them up then.

I can't keep the grin off my face...

The final Spec I went for was

2.0 TDI Black Edition
Automatic
Mettalic Glacier White
Heated Front Seats
Electric Seats With Memory
Electric Folding Door Mirrors
Colour DIS
Lighting Package
4 Zone Climate Control.


While i'm on just a couple of questions.

1. Apart from the puddle Lights / Door handle lights, what else does the lighting package have?
2. Does the colour DIS show the reverse sensor image when reversing? I thought it did but I can't see a setting for it anywhere.
3. I'm looking to get GAP insurance and Maybe alloy wheel insurance, can anyone recommend a good place? I will be speaking to Chris Knott about the GAP insurance but I don't think they do alloy wheel insurance.


Thanks,
Az

1. The lighting package also includes lights in the door cards, in the front footwells and under the front seats. The brightness can be adjusted via the MMI.
2. The parking sensor display is only on the central MMI screen, not the DIS.

Congratulations on the new car!
Check that you car insurance does not include "new vehicle replacement" in the event of total loss during the first year - some do (my policy, via M&S, does as it is one of the requirements that they put on the underwriters that they represent). I plan to get GAP at the end of year 1....

I got my gap instance from gapinsurance 123. Paid £127 including IPT for 3 years cover with a £15k claim limit, certainly a lot less than Audi were wanting!

Interesting. I have LEDs in the footwells, under the front seats, puddle lights but not in the door handles but don't have the lighting package so I would assume it's just lights in the door handles?

As standard you get front door puddle lights, illuminated interior door handles and lights under the seats and in the front footwells plus ambient lighting, map lights front and rear and illuminated vanity mirrors. Lighting pack adds rear puddle lights, changes the passive door reflectors to active (they light up!) and lights under the wing mirrors also adds additional lighting in the door trims and puts a light in the centre storage compartment. I think it also changes the interior lights all to LEDs but that may only be with the Ambient Lighting Option

Good point, my 3 year policy is actually for years 2-4 as the first year was covered by my car insurance that provided replacement in the even of a write-off in Year 1. Not all Gap policies allow you to defer the first year. Also check that the Gap Policy is transferrable should you sell the car before the policy ends
