    audi a4 b7 2.0T 200bhp s line

    Hi Has anyone got one of these including the quattro? Just wandering how they are and what mpg people get. Looking at a non quattro which is rated at 42mpg which seems very good considering petrol is over 10% cheaper than diesel making this cheaper to run or very close to the diesel equivalent...

    Engine lost all it's oil!

    yer sorry to hear mate the s3 does have a low sump as standard. Lowering it makes it even more prone to being ripped off

    HELP! NEW CAR, TURBO GONE

    Hi sorry to hear about this. But you bought it from a garage selling it for another person so it is still classed as a trade sale which gives you rights. Did you get an invoice/reciept? By law with the sale of goods act you have 6 months garantee from date of purchase to cover defects/faults...

    New S3??

    yer im possibly off to see one this weekend 98k 2002 225 with full leather for 9k im not too bothered about the high mileage as long as it drives well, looks like its been looked after and has full history with all the required stuff like cambelt and haldex done

    New S3??

    i would say even with low miles you will probably still loose a grand, unless you buy from an auction then you might break even on it

    Am i asking too much for my car?

    Hi I dont think the over pricing is thr issue. Its more the time of the year and the market and running costs. Its close to xmas in which its harder to sell cars then petrol prices on the up. I spoke to my local garage who advised there is a low demand for high peformance petrol cars due to...
