    Just back from collecting my second TDI 90 (the black one!) Up on miles (152k) and what I would describe as a genuine car! Needs some cosmetic TLC but mechanically very tight and drives well. Nice spec, sport, cream (i believe ) leather and alcantara, rear bench seat, front fogs.

    Anyone know any good rns-e vendors

    Hi all aside from a well known Internet auction site is there any other reputable RNS-E sellers about? From what I can gather best option is to get a mk2 version ending in B that needs software downgrading to convert to an a6 unit.
