Man!!! I wanted the Audi S4,5,6 but the Direct port gasser engines scared me away. wish they offered a TDI

Carl,

 

Have you posted it on TBSSOwners.com?

I did, but my thread looks gone now. I probley didn't meet one of their selling rules.

Try there that is where ultimately my '06 awd 3ss was sold and it was to a good home. Autotrader was more a pain or full of solicitations than anything else.

I got nothing but low ball offers from them when i first tried to sell it in Dec/Jan. 12k Cash money right now!

Very nice SS wish it was for sale a couple month ago before I bought my wife her 06. Love that blue cause its different seems all of them I see are black and white lol.

Damn!

Hey man, there's nothing wrong with white as long as its clean.

 

 

Nice looking TBSS, I'm a fan of the color blue too.

:thumbs:

I have kept it over at LS1Tech.com

Superior Blue 2006 AWD TBSS (3SS/3LT) - LS1TECH

Maybe you are just coming off wrong by pulling up in your lambo to buy two cars and trade in two other cars.

ouch, no love?

So when is a good time to drop off my SS?

Not much to say, Its pretty much stock except for a B&M trans cooler that I added about 10months ago, a dual trailer tow plug and 5000k HID low beams. I used it to tow my corvette to the track a half a dozen times, like a boss. lol

Some stock specs off the top of my head.

2006 TBSS AWD 3SS(3LT) Superior Blue Metallic

BOSE (New passenger dash and door speaker, OEM)

NAV w/disc

Rear Seat Entertainment

Think it has every option available.

91,000 miles

Owned Since 2009

Items Dealer replaced under warranty

A/C Panel (night lights didn't work)

Passenger Window regulator

I also replaced all the drivetrain fluids at 80k miles. Front and Rear Diff and Transmission.

KBB puts this car at around 16.4k in Very Good condition. Having 91k its obviously not the same as showroom and has the typical signs of wear. Tires have 40k miles on them with about 10k left, we can work something out if you want new tires.

I just had it detailed, clayed and waxed last month, washed it today, but it gets so f'n dark i'll have to take some pictures tomorrow.

I owe a little bit on it, I need to check how close it is...less than 1000

You can reach me direct by adding @gmail.com to my username.

Come and take a look at this rare beauty

I bought a new car so she just sits in the driveway, gets a bath in some adams car shampoo every weekend. No point in keeping a vehicle i dont drive anymore, she needs a new home! Looking to get 17,000

-Carl

I have a Blue 06 TBSS AWD 3SS fully loaded that i'd trade plus 12k. it would be perfect to haul the family around in. Email @gmail.com

My guess SHR = 4 SSR = 8

oh,,, ok, vw calls it Adblue, my tank is in the trunk, heard it makes white crystals if spilt and hard to clean up, mostly stains the carpet.

Used my MTM Foam canon again today. Made the mistake and sprayed into the wind and completely frosted myself. lol.. Also moved up to a 2 buck clear water (no soap). my buckets where not even to as close as dirty as gencoupe's. but mine is a garage queen.

-Carl

I'll take a look, but don't think i have any of those markings in my 13' VW Passat TDI

Using the PW is like second nature to me as well now. I use qd fittings on the water hose with a full flow 3 way valve so i dont even have to disconnect the hose from the pw to use a hose to fill/rinse buckets or wheels.

-Carl

keep it in the wine cooler, 55 degrees.

scratch that microwave, just did some research and people recommend a double boiler. but they recommend only to do it once or twice.

Oh gawd!! I was leaning towards the GTR's but them vipers are so damn sexy and unique.

-Carl

i wonder if you could zap it in the microwave then re-pour it, maybe not.

Foaming the car and pressure washing it off first gets it pretty clean, i then foam it up again (still half mixture left) then I just clean bucket rinse it (no soap) with grit guard.

-Carl

I thought the same using the 16oz bottles, so i just switch to the big boi's 32oz'ers. its all in the mind!

Using the MTM with 4oz of Adams soap and get a good shaving cream constancy. Also getting about 2 uses out of 1 full bottle on a VW Touareg. A short video before I got the fanning worked out

First use of MTM foam cannon. Used about 4oz of Adam's car shampoo and water. - YouTube[/url

you should adjust the spray pattern wider, i can cover the side of my trialblazer with 3 side to side passes

-Carl

best 59.99 you will ever spend! that's already half the price of the other brand foam canon.

Adams car shampoo of course! One pump from the gallon bottle with the pump attachment, into the cannon bottle filled 90% with water.

 

Cannon is entirely much better than the gun. Good thing about the gun is its a 2 minute setup and breakdown if you're short in time. But the thickness of the foam from the cannon is night and day better than the gun. I would say the cannon foam is like shaving cream thick and the gun is more like soapy water.

I use 1/3 cup or 2-3 oz, then rest warm water, the same amount i use in my two bucket wash.

tony is spot on with the thickness of foam, like shaving cream. I foam my car up when its dry to lock in that dirt, then blast it away, foam up again, then a quick hand wash, only need to use one clean water bucket. so two foam ups per fill. i also use adams car wash shampoo as well.

-Carl

nice save!

I love my VW. TDI ftw

I can't decide on the wheel woolies or that turbo stick. how do you like it?

-Carl

Pressure washer is something I need/want to purchase this year. So I'm interested o. Others advise as well.

I have a Troy Built XP, 2600psi, 2.3 gpm, has a honda engine. A 3gpm and 3000psi would be nice but I got it used for 160$ have done my house and use it with the MTM foam canon.

works like a champ!

-Carl

tried out a new toy

50/50 APC on the wheels

2 oz of Adams Car Shampoo for each car, sprayed the foam on, pressure washed off, then foamed it up again, then two bucket washed them both.

The SS got an Air dry, she sits outsite (she needs a new home) while the VW was pulled into the garage and got a detail spray wipedown, then BG and a coat of Americana Wax. now that the tires are dry, time to apply some SVRT.
