I notice this relates to the newer models, what year did DPF's appear on these engines. Am I safe to assume that an 05/06 TDi will not have this feature?

What's this engine like around this kind of mileage, started looking for a diesel but being tempted to stay with petrol. I've seen a 55 plate A3 2.0 FSI with FSH but 100K Are these as bulletproof as the diesels??

Really!! I would worry about oil leaking from anywhere!!

Looks cool, buy it Should you be worrying about mpg at 25?:whistle2:

Looks good but must be a ****** to look after

You still looking at end of October to sell??

It's rare for a reason

View with a little caution though, Edd China is the poster boy for Terraclean in their advertising campaign, just saying!!

I could be very interested in that mate, I'm up in Nairn so not too far away. Was looking at a3s and a4s and want a diesel and you're in my price range it would seem. When you looking to shift it?

Yeah I see he killed a second gear box, been snooping on his posts lol. Was on your website, what kind of gains would I see on the power with a remap. Could be cheap too as you'd be passing on your way to Lossiemouth as well. Don't ask don't get lol.

As title really, looking for 3 door A3, ideally black or silver but would forget colour if right car. Got in the region of 4 to 4.5k ready to go. Live in Scotland but will travel, again for the right car. Posting on here looking to buy an enthusiasts car rather than a shed from auto trader etc...

Daft suggestion but mate of mine had this years back and asked me about it, he had his vents set to recirculate. Switched it to take fresh air in and problem solved. I know it sounds stupid but though was worth putting out there.

Cheers, fancy a change from manual if the right car comes up for sale. Any other comments welcome, how are they to drive etc if used to manual for twenty odd years.
