    Yep my dad has access to a friend mechanics garage. Will take the advice of changing the water pump together with cambelt, thanks. I am having a quick look on eBay I cannot find any genuine Audi ones but there are Gates cambelts. Are they any good? --- I am here...

    Bought some Total oil from ebay. Realised a potential problem today though, the car has a strange idle. When you are stationary and engine is just idling every second or two there is a slight (but noticable) vibration coming from the engine, its a bit like its misfiring. It can be noticed...

    Ok just got the new car back home today, did about 60 miles on it first thing after paying for it and it feels fine.

    Thanks for the advice. Looking at the service history I don't think there has been any work done on the turbo before, so it will be something to keep an eye on. Sorry, the car is manual NHN. At first impressions of the car (in my 3-4 min test drive) I floored it in 3rd and 4th till about...

    Hello everyone, We have just bought one of the above. Examined it for an hour, went for a quick test drive, everything looked great, very smooth. Checked everything we could think of, all seemed great. Apart from the 88k mileage. It is due a service, but has full Audi history up till now...
