Either or. I tend to use Groom (orange cap) on everything and I usually buy it in bulk 
The key thing with the belts is that they are completely dry before you retract them...

« on: 03 February 2021, 21:13:10 »11093931 (nls)The Elite and CDX seat bolts are the same length in both my breakers - 30mm - so as said, there is only one bolt for all models, NOT different lengths. The EPC confirms one seat bolt lengthThat must be why I needed longer bolts to retrofit the Elite drivers seat in my ex plod then...
M8 x 30 for all models as well....
13112808 is the part number for the M8x42 bolts used on electric seats with memory...

Cracking the windows on sunny days helps.
Mould is as much from historic use as damp... Crumbs and food grease from hands and fingers.
A nail brush and diluted bleach solution for the belts, ideally pulled all the way out and completely dry before allowing them to retract.
Ambersil foaming upholstery cleaner for everything else.

The short (blue) ones are 30mm from the back of the head...
With the longer bolts fitted, was the drivers seat secure?

You'll note that I started with 'IF' The colours 'MIGHT' be the other way around.
I raise the difference because I don't have the other to confirm which is which. It only affects the drivers seat. But I am not going to buy another Omega to look.

And this...
Discs, pads and a set of tyres will set you back the purchase price.

I hate Audis generally, and there are several reasons not to buy a rebodied Passat.
Worth watching Car Wizards videos about the RS6s that he has worked on to give you an insight into it. The engine has several issues that are designed in. Access isn't great either... Alot of engine, and most of it forward of the front axle.
With all that in mind, it's quite closely related to the Lamborghini lump, so the entry price is really appealing.
Basically, if you can afford to pay cash for it, then do it. (haggle, obviously and waving folding stuff you might blag it for £9k...) Just because... And sell it within a year.
If you can't pay cash for it, then run away...
As an analogy, if you are in Vegas and go to a casino you wouldn't throw £11k on red with your credit card. I hope
