Congrat's on your purchase monz87. Hope you enjoy your new ride. I'm jealous that we never had the oil burner option over here in the States.

As jimmy alluded to, it is "bought" in North American dialect anyway, not sure if "baught" is an acceptable spelling in the U.K. or wherever you are. Don't let his Grammar **** post get you down, he's just messing with you. We all have our pet peeves.

Congrats again.

Dont forget the tuning box!!

Enjoy!

An awful lot of X Type owners on the .co.uk and x-type.org.uk forums are praising different versions of these tunong boxes and I bought one to try and get even better MPG for a trip to France last July as well as the power increases.
Definately work and mine is only set to 5/10
Take off from standstill has the traction light flashing at first while the tyres get grip and acceleration is noticeably better
Time to tweak it up I reckon

Dammit! Yet another reason to be pissed we don't have the diesel option in North America!!!

This is gonna put me in an A3 TDI in the next year or so.

Yeah, that is the downside. I don't know where Audi lost their way with interiors, they used to be so Teutonically perfect. I'm sure I'll miss the interior of the X. I'm sure I could find an aluminum or carbon fiber interior dash kit to spice it up though.

I was thinking XF, but I could use the utility of the hatchback. Plus I just like to tweak on turbo's.
