http://wdiary.audiport.com It's all Audi... Tue, 09 Jan 2007 14:19:15 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 Hmmm. Let's see... I purchased the A6 May 27th... I guess it's time I post something about it. Yes, I'm a bad Audi owner. In 10 months I've logged about 8,000 miles and [knock on wood] the car has been perfect. Not a singe problem. I of course, have done ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=166 LED brakelight upgrade forthcoming... :) http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=167 Well folks, I'm sad to say I've parted with my S4. I loved the car but I had to sell it for medical reasons and I wanted more room. The nice firm suspension that makes the car such a pleasure when running hard has turned out to be a great ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=165 March. It's March already! I'm getting old... I can't believe how quickly time passes. Yes, time for an update. In my last entry it was time for my 5,000 mile service. Well, now it's time for my 10k. Car is in for repairs to the rear bumper for minor cosmetic scratches ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=164 I was coming back from errands today and, like usual, I was driving in a rather spirited manner. I like driving this car... and I'm perfectly happy to play all by myself when road conditions permit. Well, apparently this guy in a Firebird (don't know what kind specifically... late model, ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=163 6,530 miles. A lot has gone on since my last entry; unfortunately much of it bad. My 5,000 mile oil change came due so I'm now running Mobil 1 synthetic--that's good part. Now the bad. I installed Potenza S-03s back in August. Since then I've manage to destroy 3 of them! ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=162 4670 miles. Hard to believe I've put almost 5,000 miles on this car already. The "Service Soon" reminder started warning me about 600 miles ago for the upcoming oil change. For me, a 1,000 mile advance notice is just a bit too much--I've seen the warning screen so many ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=161 Had Potenza S-03s tires installed last Saturday. Nice. Very nice. The difference in the handling is very noticable. No more tire squeal on hard cornering or heavy braking and it sticks on hard cornering instead of understeering like a pig. More precise steering feel and feedback. The ride is a ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=160 2500 miles. So far I have to say life with the B6 S4 has been very very good. The B5 was always calling attention to itself (not in looks, but behavior) while the B6 just does it's duty quietly and with precision. I do have a couple of nit-picks though. As ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=158 The magic 1000 mile mark has come and gone. I decided a few full throttle runs were in order to see just how the car was running. The results would suggest the drivetrain is still quite tight. Granted, it was hot and humid out (in the 90's) but as ... http://wdiary.audiport.com/index.php?p=157
