UPDATE - Well I have just put a deposit down on a 2011 3 door Ibis white s3 S-Line 2ltr 170 Quattro diesel. It has only done 56000 and has full leather interior and the RNS-E Audi Navigation Plus. After a lot of deliberating, I decided to go with a diesel because I just couldn't live with myself if I got a petrol and it went pear shaped. Too many horror stories for my liking. I took my nephew with me who is a mechanic and we both confirmed it was all good. The haldex service has been done at the last service 5 months back and has been serviced generally every year (the car). Does need for new tyres though and I wangled him down £450 for those. Total cost - £7550 (had it up for £8000). Oh just another cosmetic issue - comes with the black edition rotors and two of those need a refurb. Quite chuffed at the moment!
Nice one sounds like a good spec and a good colour aswell.
Just one tip, if Audi have done the haldex service they 100% will not have changed the haldex filter as they claim on the facelift models it doesn’t have one when it actually does. Get it changed yourself or by an independent garage and you’ll have to change the fluid again at the same time. you’ll also probably have to provide the oil and filter but it will save you problems as the haldex pump packs in eventually when the filter isn’t changed.
