Hi guys thanks for all the really useful info on the forum.
I'm looking into getting my first Audi soon and have started to circle in on an A4 Avant quattro. I've read through the B7 forum and found the major issues covered in their own separate threads but was wondering if there were a decent list of checks to do when I go to look at the car?
From browsing the forum (and some of the other forums) it looks like I need to check whether the injectors have been done and to see whether it is the later gear driven oil pump, but both of these will probably need me to ring up the dealer to check what work has been done as I doubt the dealer will want me ripping the engine to pieces to check part numbers!
Visually and listening for odd noises is there anything else major to worry about?
Speaking to Audi UK tomorrow about whether a pre-emptive injector change might be possible if I buy the car I'm interested in, I'm going to be away for a while so don't want the Mrs going into a flat spin over it if they were to fail while I'm not about!
Thanks for any help in advance.
