Hi all.

I was hoping you could offer some advice on what I should be looking for.

I am clear on a few things I want - B8, 2.0T engine, manual transmission, quattro drivetrain. (2009 onwards for a timing chain in the engine rather than a timing belt?)

However, my brother has a B6 quattro with sports suspension and is telling me I should be making sports suspension a deal breaker.

Am I right in thinking an SE quattro which isn't an s-line has comfort suspension?

Therefore do I just need to make sure I get an S-Line model? Or is it more complex than that?

Then I suppose, is it an easy retrofit?

What else should I be on the look out for?

Thanks and look forward to hearing your views!
 
I’ve got a 2010 2.0T s Line special edition with sports suspension (211bhp). All I’ll say is watch out for the oil consumption issue. My car had this when I bought it (was oblivious to the issue prior to buying)

Fortunately Audi UK fixed the issue FOC but others haven’t been so lucky
 
Thanks Neil. I guess I will have to rely on the honesty of the seller to know whether or not it's using oil! I was also thinking maybe a higher mileage, say 100k plus might be better if things like this and the timing chain/tensioner have been replaced.
