Does anyone have experience with DEPO Bi-Xenon look units? Are the faceplates inside easy to switch over so the beam pattern is suitable for UK road use?

I'm looking for my next car and I'd like something reliable, fast and relatively affordable to buy. I'd like to know about the maintenance costs mainly and any common problems to keep an eye out for.

Ah crap, sorry, the cambelt

Thought this was the best place to come to find out the change interval. Is it 4 or 5 years? Edit: Cambelt change interval sorry

I'm glad I decided to look back at this thread, my e-mail notifications failed to notify me. Glad to know my car has a twin! (Except for the wheels obviously)

So I've just bought a Volcano Red A3 and am curious as to how rare/common the colour is? I see 8P's almost daily, but I have NEVER seen the Volcano Red colour, does anyone on here own one in this colour?

Is there any major failures/problems with the 1.6 MPI engine? I'm aware that it's slower compared to other choices, but with a first car I'm not after speed.

By failure I do mean instant/sudden, it must be rare as I can't seem to find anything about them failing suddenly online, perhaps it was just a 1 in a million failure with my dads T5, then again, its pushing more lbs/ft, but that probably has little to no correlation as to what happened, I just...

Avoiding PD engines like the plague, thanks for the info!

Seems that the 1.4 TFSI is also a little too expensive on insurance unfortunately, which is a shame because I always hear good things about that engine. The 1.9 and 2.0 litre diesels seem to be cheaper on insurance, so I'm now considering one of those, would they be okay if I took it out on the...

I mentioned it being 1.6L or below, the VR6 is wayyyyyyyyy out of my insurance budget.

I've been looking at getting an A3 8P as my second car, but from what I've heard and seen, picking an engine seems to be a bit of a minefield, I'm currently looking at the regular 1.6 non TFSI or FSI. I'm also looking at 1.2-1.4's but I'm not sure which is the best option. I'm unable to go above...
