Silver TDI from Poland

[crazexr7]

^Any info on these? Did you make them or buy them? This could be an option for me with my 17s. OEM caps are expensive

[michal_s87]

it's cnc engraved, any logo, any diameter
I ordered them in an advertising agency, were not expensive. It's not aluminium, but quality is rly good. I hope that they will look good on wheels.

[michal_s87]

wheels are finished, with dope center caps

[MikkiJayne]

Sweet

[michal_s87]

[michal_s87]

Everywhere but here had an option for tdi a4, as well as a 1.8 non turbo

[michal_s87]

yep, TDI engine is very popular in Europe, especially VAG grop engine has a great reputation

I'm curious that US version of B5 has only quattro? that were available also FWD?
most of your cars got quattro, so why I ask

[99.5blacka4]

We have fwd as well. It's not a big seller as Audis are only really popular in colder states. There is an Audi population in states that rarely or never see snow and in those areas, FWD is very commonly ordered in and sold.

[jetta5000]

it might be due to a brand perception thing too. in the states people seem to be more inclined to thinjk of b5 audis as higher end luxury and VAG probably wanted to encourage that perception so they left the lower hp and diesel engines out of the lineup, leaving them to the VW models. it works the opposite way too... the high end passats and the phaeton didn't do very well in the US as americans weren't going to pay a premium for what they perceived as an economy brand. /IMHO

love the all red tails.

[Phil@VerdictMotorsports]

Very clean and well sought out

Keep up the good work!

[crazexr7]

I want those a6 wheels

[CoopaCoopaCoopa]

I want those a6 wheels

They look like steelies, but judging by the thickness they are obviously alloys.

[michal_s87]

cool that not only I like my b5

btw I have a few new interior gadgets:

-MP3 usb/sd changer, chinese stuff but works well with Concert CD
unfortunately, the radio doesn't have a CD TEXT so tracks are displayed as TRACK 01-99





-OBDII bluetooth interface to connect with android OS smartphone, rly cool thing

-cruise control, not instaled yet but I'm working on it

[desmodronic]

Very nice car.

How hard is to find those 312 carriers?

[michal_s87]

quite easily i U know where to search
it is obvious that in Europe we have many more second hand VAG group parts

[SpikeyBoi33]

Beautiful car!!
100+ for Poland
50+ for DOPE
15+ for maguiars products

New eco driving record
Yesterday was a lot of snow and ice on the road, so it was impossible to drive fast - therefore, this result

4,6l/100km average fuel consumption after about 200km route, it sounds like ~61mpg

[CoopaCoopaCoopa]

I need a euro cluster in my life.

[michal_s87]

I received today these tyres, any opinions guys?
Federal 595evo 205/40R18

[silvermannn]

SO nice and clean. Looking good.

If only I could hear the TDI idle while I look at the pictures.
