Hi Guys,
Had an S3 about 2 years ago and sold it due to needing a bigger car. I have a 535d at the minute and the gearbox is on its way out and I want to get rid of it before its too late!
I am going to see a 2010 Allroad 3.0TDI S-Tronic this week. It has 125k. Mileage doesn't really worry be as my S3 has 120k and it felt perfect so id like the think the diesel would be the same if not better.
I am trying to find some information on what to look out for when I go to view the car. Are there any issues of niggles that any of you have come across with this engine, gearbox or chassis?
At that mileage I would expect to see proof of a haldex service?? Just remember people talking about that for the S3, but not sure if its the same system for the Allroad.
Also, my E61 has air suspension at the rear and the compressor is a pretty common thing to fail on these, are the A4's the same or are they just on springs?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
