Hi
I'm thinking about buying a 2.5 TDi Quattro Avant and would appreciate some questions answered and some advice, thanks. Here it goes then:
1. What are the BHP figures for the 2.5 TDi, and if there are different engines and specs (only v6 or others) how can I guarantee I get the better i.e. more powerful and reliable one?
2. What is the reliability of these cars like because reading this forum has just depressed me a bit as I thought they were bulletproof?
3. Is the car a good one generally?
4. Recommended year/model would be?
5. What are the differences between B5 and B6 models?
6. Are most accessories standard on these cars i.e. leather, climate, CD changer, dog/luggage guard, light squirters etc etc.
7. Is self servicing, everything but belts, easy enough to do myself (reasonably good with cars, hey I own a Rangie )?
8. Is "chipping" or adding a power booster type box a viable and mechanically safe mod on these cars?
9. Is the engine the same as the 180bhp diesel in the A6?
10. Is the A6 2.5TDi Quattro Avant better than the A4 2.5 TDi Quattro Avant?
Thanks in advance
