One thing my B6 has which seems pretty rare, and that's the fully electric front seats in Red leather which is down on the original invoice as costing more than £1K

Not sure if they are Recaro, but they both have electric height adjust with independent front/rear of the seat base, Electric back rest, lumbar, electric headrest up/down. Same adjustments that my old D3 had, except the front pull out extension is manual.

I've resolved the radio problem, it was the cable between the boot lid and car body failing. Rejoined it and soldered, then sleeved and the external shielding repaired.

The oil problem is a non issue, it was resolved by the previous owner having spent a significant amount of money replacing failed pipework.

Only issue remaining now are the rear springs. Both have failed in the same place, and lost a piece off one end of the coil. It's sitting a little low on the back as a result as you can see in the pictures. I know it has sport suspension, also as an option.
