Hi all
I have owned for the last four years a black Audi A4 B7 3.0 TDI (233) Avant tiptronic.. now I know that in its self isn’t rare but thing is it’s on a 09 plate which I have never seen before on a B7 and it never had a DPF from factory but just two cats.. I know they started the B8 on I think 57 plates.. it definitely never had a DPF from factory as about 3 years ago Audi replaced the entire tiptronic gearbox totally for free (£5500) as a good will gesture. At the time it was under 80k miles and full Audi service history.. they said that was the reason for the free gearbox but even they were a bit baffled at the reg and said if the car had been tampered with in anyway I.e remap, de-DPF etc they would have charged me for the gearbox.. another odd thing is that it has a 2.0 tdi badge on the back.. but trust me she’s a 3.0 tdi..
Last week I changed the crank pulley, auxiliary belt and air con compressor and thinking of parting with her now..
