hello

hi, i've been looking around here for a couple of weeks trying to find little bits and pieces of info to help me hopefully buy a decent a3. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

i'm looking at getting a 1.8t quattro and i've got about £7K ish to spend. will this be enough?

seen there are a few high milers about which makes me wonder how long will the engine last if looked after?

are there any major things to look out for?

cheers

i've got a 100k+ 1.8t and touch wood have no problems with the engine. got a fsh, does not use a drop of oil between services and goes like a dream most of the time.

would expect to change the maf, ( air flow meter i've done so three times in the last year) but great fun and a good engine. just make sure it's been well serviced, fully not just oil changes.
