Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site, just found it on the interent earlier. I'll be a brief as I can and would appreciate anyone's input.
My wife has a '99 A3 1.6 and is looking to upgrade to the new shape, we've looked at a few 2.0 and a 3.2 over the weekend. I have a few questions about the 3.2, the car is beautiful but it has a few problems.
1) When I drove it, it had the traction control warning light on, pressing the dash button made no difference, the air bag light was on and it had a misfire that happened from about 3000rpm upwards and was accompanied by a EPC light on the dash. The dealer said this was all down to a engine steam clean and he would sort it out, does this sound feasible
2) Also, the front bumper was sitting a bit proud either side of the front wings, I had a good look around and couldn't see any damage underneath but it looks like somthing has caused a bad fit on the front bumper, is this likely to be a big problem? Apart from this, body is in very good condition, just the front bumper gaps are a bit wrong.
3) It has some sort of body kit which I have seen on some other 3.2 s line cars but not all of them, this includes front splitter, side skirts and rear skirts, looks really good and not like a boy racer add on, anyone know if this was a factory option or not.
I really want to know if I should buy it or not (obviously after the misfire and air bag have been fixed) mileage is just over 100k but price is good.
Thanks
James
