    A few quick 1.8T questions - hopefully no duplicate things posted

    I changed to the A4 from a 406 coupe 3.0 V6 - this engine is rather underwhelming for a 3.0 but I read one site that said it offered 84% torque for idle. The V part also made me really lasy - pulling off in 3rd faster than most cars do wasn't too much of a struggle. The more I drive it the more...

    I must say I'm quite impressed with JCT600/York Audi - very helpful friendly staff. I spent about 10 mins talking to the service guy, got more informaiton than I thought. He looked up the Audi details on the computer but apparently had limited info due to a recent change in the service record...

    Thanks for the good responses guys, I'm off to York Audi to ask about getting the cambelt done. I think I'll leave the clutch for now, hopefully it will survive quite a while after reading what pabs said. Its only had 2.5 owners from new (1st owner had it for 5 months so was probably a garage...

    hey, thanks for the comprehensive reply :thumbsup: i lived in fear with the last car regarding the cambelt - a v6 with 24v mounted transverse was a pain in the **** to do - dealers used to say £600 labour to do so I never did it. This car is worth a fair bit more so dont want to risk it - I...

    Hey guys, I picked up my new A4 a week ago and am really pleased with it. I used to have a Peugeot 406 coupe V6 and got used to doing some repairs to it - the Audi does scare me a bit as its put together in a better way than I'm used to. My car is a 53 reg and is the 190 Sport: I've been...

    Hello from York

    I really enjoyed the drive back last night in it, it feels like more power than the coupe - the torque:weight ratio is about the same so its not too surprising. Im loving the build quality and the little things like 3 indicator flashes from a brief indicator press :-) Best of all the other half...

    Hello from York

    Hey, I'm picking up my new car tomorrow, an A4 B6 1.8T Sport 190 which I test drove yesterday and fell in love with. My last car of 5 years was a Peugeot 406 coupe 3.0 V6 which I loved until the repairs mounted up to more than the car cost. I was a fairly active member of the 406coupe forum and...
