Hi, I'm hopefully joining the S3 club shortly and I have a few questions. It would be great if one of you knowledgeable people could answer them!
I am looking for a 2003 model - is it worth spending extra to get a low-ish mileage version (eg 50K rather than 70K) ?
I recently test drove an 03 78K version which had worn off buttons for the Fan and Temp controls - is that normal for the age/mileage? The same car had hesitation and made a squealing noise from the engine between 3000 & 3300 RPM under full throttle in 5 & 6. (my totally novice guess would be something to do with the cross over in VVT) They are giving it a service today, but should I walk away even if the problem has been 'fixed'? Lovely drive though.
Thanks!
