just got my '96 UrS6!!
Hey everyone,
This is my first post on this site. I just got my mint condition UrS6 with 170k. Aside for the odd squeeky bushing and some minor mechanical and electrical faults.. car is pretty much tip top.
Previous owner upgraded suspension with bilstein shocks and H&R springs, brakes are big Red stage 2 fom ECS tuning. Engine has new samcos and thats pretty much it.
First few things I wanna do (aside for fixing squeeks) is upgrade lights with HIDs, can anyone recommend a kit for this car and where can i get reasonnalby priced euro lenses? Also, this thing came with audi carphone, you know the old school dinosaur from the 90s thats integrated with sound system.. is there anyone who figured out a way to use this thing with a cell phone, either using a bluetooth device or cable?? i'll probably keep it there for originality anyways.
Another little fault is that heated mirrors don't seem to work, previous owner changed mirrors for chromed ones, i don't know wether he changed the entire mirror or just the cover.. i'll find out soon, is anyone familliar with this problem?
words of wisdom anyone, this is my first car, and i'm a bit of a newb.
TIA

Try ddmtuning.com for the HID's. They seem to have pretty affordable kits and some people on this forum have ordered them, like myself, and have been happy with the results. Congrats. Definitely need pics

Still sore, but getting better.
Seriously though (oliver917), you're going to have a lot of fun with that beast (good and bad) enjoy it . You're in for a steep learning curve though, these are not cars that will allow you to let little things slide for any length of time. You have to stay on top of the maintenance, be sure to get a handle on that minor stuff before it becomes major.
Welcome aboard........now, about those pics........

Thanx to all who gave advice, I'm really excited to get this project started. I've read many different topics and have gotten familiar with common problems and fixes so i'll be able to watch out for them.
I know its a handful for a first car but I think i'll be alright.
I've attached pic.
Cash68, my valuables are already taken care of! thanx anyways ;-)

i'm in Montreal pretty close to downtown, the pic I posted is misleading cuz it was taken by previous owner a his house. Nothing has changed on the car since that pic so i needn't take new ones.
