Harz's new toy... RS6 Avant
th3_f15t:
Will you fit an OE head unit back in place? I think Alpine offer something that integrates with OE systems but offers better sound. Might be worth investing in a complete overhaul of the sound system though and just replacing everything to give it some proper nice sounds.
Brakes probably just need a damn good clean and service, the squealing is probably due to the amount of brake dust and debris built up in the caliper. Also, give the driver's latch a spray of WD40 to see if that frees it up a little bit, if not aim to replace the latch at the same time as doing speakers then!

Lovely car. Great price :congrats:
I enjoyed your black Mk5 GTI build. Can't wait to see what you do with this beast :driver:
You could put the blue seats and steering wheel (Steve from edge automotive is one seriously talented dude!!) into this motor :jumpmove:

Cheers :happy2: yeah funnily enough I have been looking at a DAB/Nav Alpine unit. I will probably get new aftermarket speakers/amp/sub too. I've got some time off in November so my mechanic friend is going to look the brakes and the rest of the car over and help me get some of the stuff sorted.

Yeah still deciding about the seats and wheel. To put the steering wheel in the RS6 isn't plug and play like the golf plus I need one with flappy paddles, but plenty of time to decide. Want to get the "niggles" sorted first and then maybe some new wheels... Trying not to go too far with this one, but I also said that about the Golf :grin: :grin: :evilgrin:

After a bit of googling found out how to adjust the date and time on the dash. Only a minor thing, but at least its sorted. It's a pain not having the owners manual.
