And will it not develop issues in near future? Pls help out guys The 2006 Audi A6 Allroad is based upon the C6 platform, so converting it to LHD is not an issue. The firewall on the C6 is common to both LHD and RHD. I have not converted an Allroad, but I have converted the C6 A6 Sedan, which shares the same firewall and components as the Allroad. My C6 conversion can't be detected, the only way is if you're savvy with reading VIN numbers. It'll be something like this: WAUZZZ4FX7N016*** WA says it was built in Germany, and N represents the factory it was built in, Neckarsulm, Germany. These won't really matter in your case, as UK cars were all built in Germany anyway. US-spec cars have very different VIN numbers. What denotes the if the vehicle was LHD or RHD from the factory, is the last 6 numbers of the VIN. This is the Serial Number. Now regardless of the country the car was built in, the serial number is the give away, as every country will have an allocated batch of cars, so for example, if Uganda had an allocation, with serial numbers from 037522 - 073642. So we're talking 36,120 cars. So with Uganda being RHD, cars with serial # 037522 - 073642 obviously be recognised as RHD, even if they're later converted. The average buyer may not know, though if the car's taken to a dealership for a scan, it will identify the vehicle as an ex-RHD car, and a Ugandan allocation. So this aside, there won't be any issues with a RHD conversion. |

why not buy a LHD car from the continent http://www.mobile.de/?lang=en by the time you factor in conversion costs v travel costs it might be cheaper |
