I have just agreed to buy a late 2000 X Audi A3 1.6 (facelift model) with 60k on the clock. (Yes there are faster ones, but I have insurance to consider /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif )
What should I look out for as a final check before I hand over the cash?
Main things such as, are there 2 chassis numbers on the car (ive seen the one under the bonnet), but where is the one of the floorpan in an A3?).
Also I know about spotting accident damage/paint work and im bringing someone along who knows their engines /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Also where is the engine number stamped?
The dash shouldnt show any warning lights.
Anything else?
Also does anyone have a copy of the A3 manual, to show what all the lights mean and which should extinguish e.t.c
One last question the 1.6 was revised in late 2000 and gained an extra 2bhp, is that really noticable over the older model?
