Well,.........the love affair continues with the fsi and i say that, genuinely, still owning a few of Audis finest cars of the nineties from the turbine smooth V6's to the legendary 5cyl quattro S6's all superb in their own right. However, owning the fsi is anything but a disappointment in this company, the fsi positively fizzes way above it's engine size should allow in the way it delivers the goods. How this car feels like it has a supercharger from extreme low revs is beyond me? Well not quite, as it has to be the clever fsi technology that's responsible, more in a bit.
So Pine Green has travelled 20k pampered miles in our ownership, mileage being held back these last 2 1/2 + months by "The Virus". She's had 4 oil changes since, last one carried out earlier this week by me. I like doing my own oil changes as there's no pressure to put back the drain plug, as my time is free to allow every last drop of oil to drain out.
It's been on my mind to order new plugs, so whilst the bonnet was of i checked them to find they were fine but you could tell the Denso iridiums have been in there for a good while. Even though i had no reason to change them, i wanted to see what a plug change would do and wanted to stick with the Denso and try this new design.
Wow, what a difference these have made! As i said previously, how this car has the right to pull so well even from low revs is beyond me. The car positively fizzes even with the slightest touch of the gas pedal, it's an absolute joy to drive a car that pulls so well - rapidly pulling as if it's connected to an elastic band without pushing the pedal further. This fsi never disappoints me, it's a fun car to drive that excites yet can easily achieve 50+ mpgs on long runs, a great all - round package in my opinion and a car i intend to keep for a long time.
Pic below form last August at our favourite fish and chip shop Swanage, always a great meal after the drive from home.
Before i forget, October last year, Timmus ( Tom ) performed his magic in making a new loom and installing the brand new Bose speakers and amp i managed to get my hands on, he also installed colour diss while he was at it. Very pleased, is an understatement, with these upgrades performed by perfectionist Tom, he needs no introduction as many of you know.
What next? looking forward to picking up the pdc rear bumper as soon as Wales opens up.
