Thanks. I guess thats what i was after, someone to say thats not too bad an offer. Selling private can be a real pain.

Audi A3 2007 2.0 TDI. 35k Full Audi SH Cambelt last year Alcantara/leather Individual colour 2 owners 4 new tyres Perfect bodywork and alloys Non smoker package and ipod connection Bought from Audi dealership I have been offered £6,800 trade in. A friend in the trade says the trade in value...

Thanks, but they have nothing i want, or they are too expensive. I have just found Parkers car guide, they do a franchised dealer search.

I look on the Audi site most days, and i have started looking on JCT600. Is there any way of checking all franchised dealerships, ie widen the search. I'm fairly specific what i'm after.

My previous A3 60k, did 55mpg at best. My present one 30k, both 140's does 50mpg at best. I'm looking at a 140ps A4. Is 40mpg acheivable.

What were the multitronic issues?

Are the auto gearboxes in the B7 any good, or do you go for the B8 (bearing in mind its a newer model)

I prefer the B7 styling too.

Probably 2.0 ltr. Any preference between the B7 and B8. Auto or manual, anything to look out for. Moving from a 2007 2.0 tdi A3. Any comments appreciated.

Normally i ring round, go to the cheapest place (or get them to price match) and get them fitted. Looking on the web there are some places that sell tyres at a good discount. Per tyre....... Kwick Fit Pirelli p Zero 225/45/17 £148 all in. Lovetyres.com £89 delivered. Obviously fitting is extra...

According to the service book, oil, filter and pollen filter (as not changed for 2 yrs). I was wondering if there was anything not in the book, but ""recommended"", like when i changed the cam belt, i did the water pump as well. Not in the book, but the consensus is its a good idea.

1. Delivery service 2007 august. 2. Long life service 2009 august------ oil, Filter and pollen filter 3. August 2011 As above and brake fluid plus i had the cam belt changed. I am going onto annual service. Anything else need doing this time except for oil and filter.

Depends...............on wether they are running a special offer. Cleethorpes Audi its £410 incl water pump.

If you dont ask, you dont get. I reckon now is a good time to get jobs done as most people will have one eye on xmas and leave any big jobs until the new year. Mechanics sat idle=good opportunity to negotiate.

Any other suggestions for a set of new alloys. I looked at the Wolfrace website last night. (ebay is a pain in the ar$e)
