she's no d-turbo
Hi guys, I'm currently driving an a3 and looking to change this for an a4 avant in the near future and was looking to get some advice before buying!
Basically I'll be looking for a petrol S-line model (preferably quattro and manual), so 2.0T or 3.2 V6 and from 2005-2007. What are the main things to look out for?
I'm aware of the coilpack recall on the 2.0T, what is this engine like coilpacks aside? There are quite a few for sale around the 90-100k mark, should I be cautious when considering cars with that mileage or is it a sound enough engine? Also WRT the 3.2 what should I be looking out for? REAL mpg figures for both cars?
Manual box would be preferable as I'm not that keen on automatics. Do they give any bother? Out of interest, what are the auto boxes like?
Most cars I've seen advertised come with the single din HU, is there much work/cost involved in fitting a double din unit? I have an alpine unit fitted in the a3 which I'll need to fit.
Any other general issues to look out for?
Thanks in advance!
John
