My B9 A4 Avant TDI Quattro for sale, 3.0 218bhp version. Chesterfield based. Huge specification, low mileage and immaculate example, with an Audi dealer service carried out 07/06/23 (900 pounds) for the new owner's peace of mind. Full documented Audi dealer service history including the all...

What year is it? Where are you based? And do you have the standard wheels? Have been contemplating an S3 8V but this sounds a whole lot of fun. Is it running a standard clutch and flywheel? How do they cope with that power/torque?

Anyone? Didn't realise just how rare manual 3.0 TDI's are!

B8 A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro manual wanted in S-Line or black edition spec Must have FSH and sub 110k. There's barely any about. Let me know if you're considering selling.

Thanks, that's ironic! What's the current mileage please?

Might suit my bro...where are you based? What's the mileage?

Resonated or non-resonated exhaust?

Well my car's back. The garage I bought it off has replaced the turbo as their mechanic diagnosed the smoking as a failing turbo seal. They didn't think it was injectors as runs and idles smoothly. The smoking is indeed improved, but still evident - they have suggested this is a build up in the...

I'm sure I was just unlucky with my Passat, but it had done 115k and the dpf's don't last forever. Lots of horror stories but I'm sure there's a lot out there with no issues at all!! As long as you regularly do journeys involving a good run?? Like Paul says removing them and having them...

Thanks Karl, that was my thoughts...I've left it with them for their mechanic to investigate. Feared the speakers may be an amp issue as have noticed a popping when it's off? But DAB/Sat Nav etc work fine but only through passenger front door speakers and offside rear doors - being BOSE can't...

Thanks viio. Picked one up without a dpf, but its got a smoking issue (unburnt diesel) and stereo problem (speakers dont work in drivers door and passenger reaf door) so its back with the garage I got it from. Not the best start!!

Thanks. I've now put a deposit on a 55 plate 3.0 TDI S-Line, with seemingly most of the toys except a sunroof. Roll on the weekend!!

I'm looking at purchasing either an A6 or A4 3.0 TDI Quattro. I'm trying to understand if there's a hard and fast rule for whether a car has a DPF or not. I'm looking at earlier models from 05-56 plates. I know as a rule of thumb from 07 onwards they had DPF's fitted, but can anyone advise if I...

There's a voucher for kwikfit at the moment so only cost me £39 last weekend...it didn't work so I got a refund. Can't really complain at that!! My issue points to the high pressure sensor, which I'm going to try and replace later today!

I've got a pair on the rear on my S3 as it needed them when I first bought it, they seem pretty good so far. I've always used Rainsport 2's on previous front wheel drive TDI cars and I rated them given the price is always competitive and they cope well with the torque even in the wet. My local...
