Audi A3 2.0l quattro fsi advice

[Robert Rawson]

Hi everyone, I am thinking of purchasing a black 2005 Audi A3 2.0 TURBO FSI QUATTRO SPORT 5dr with 60,000 miles on the clock.

I have never owned an audi, only ever jap and ford. I was wondering what I should look out for on this car. I believe the cam belt should be due at 75,000, is that correct for this engine? How much should I expect to pay for this job?

Is there anything else I should expect to pay on a car off this age and mileage. Eg is the 4 wheel drive reliable or is turbo likely to need replacing

All help would be appreciated

check haldex and diff servicing garages always skip this, central locking works all the time and air con all get issues.

Just usual wear and tear really. Bought mine with 72k on clock. Nothing really major gone wrong, just blew a coil pack and haldex controller. Make sure you set off pretty quick and check 4wd is working and you get no wheelspin.
