Hello everyone, I'm no stranger to the A3 8P section and indeed that car, but I'm brand new to the B7 chassis and you lot.
I'm in the market for a 2.0 TFSI quattro B7, I've owned and modified my 8P 2.0TDI for nearly two years and its been cracking, but now that I can afford to insure one, the power potential of the TFSI is calling me!
I'm going to look at a 2006 B7 avant S line tomorrow potentially with a view to buy it. It will be quite a little step down in terms of interior equipment from my SE, but it seems to be remarkably good value!
Now, it is on 171k miles, to me this would be cause for raised eyebrows on a turbo petrol, but its saving grace that it had a brand new engine from Audi (with receipts) at 102k miles, so the new engine still has a fair few miles... Am I likely to be buying a ticking time bomb?
This is the car in question http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...rch-target=usedcars&postcode=gl40yf&logcode=p
Initially I plan on keeping the car reasonably standard, probably add OEM xenons, cruise etc and stage one/two. But in the future (as funds allow), it will likely see a BT setup, hence the Torsion based quattro and manual.
Many thanks for your help!
