I'd buy exactly the same car but I'd get a AA inspection before I bought it, and I'd take it straight to Audi for an inspection straight afterwards. That would have saved me a hell of a lot of money. :)

That's fine mate, just needs a bit of T-Cut. :D My sister 'money shifted' her track car and put a rod through the block. It was not a pretty, or salvageable, picture inside that engine. Should be a really interesting project and other than the engine committing seppuku, it looks a really...

One way to know for sure, and they're a nice mod to have.

It does sound mapped, the stock 1.8t's and TFSI's I've had felt torquey, but nowhere close to what a mapped car feels like. I always found VAG did their best to hide the turbo on their stock maps, it's all very progressive. Remapped cars tend to really kick you in the **** when the turbo spools.

Nice! You don't want any of that precious boost escaping. One of my favourite things about the VAG turbos is the big torque hit at low revs.

Sounds like it's certainly worth a check, good luck with the rattle hunting! I've got a couple in my interior that are driving me spare.

You can't argue with that, especially from a big 4wd saloon with decent power.

The cost of paying someone to do all that, plus what you could get for your car with a fresh MOT, would probably get you a much nicer A4. What I'd recommend: - Get a years ticket - Bide your time and wait for a really nice one to come up - Get an inspection done to make sure your not just...

It could be the more advanced ignition timing that 98/100 RON fuel allows, doesn't agree with your car? As the car can push the timing up with a 98/100 RON fuel and will drop it back a bit for 95. I haven't got the first clue why that would be, but it might be worth looking into? The results...

Definitely ouch! But I think it makes more sense than fitting a a FWD 6MT box and clutch, then pulling it all apart again, and then fitting the quattro. And as you say, if you pull it all off the same donor, it prevents any mismatched ratios or other problems. I sold my FWD B7 for a...

If you unhook the rear prop shaft the car won't move.

I usually get renewal quotes around £700-£1000, when my premium is about 280. Weirdest thing last year, my current insurer emailed me a renewal offer that was really good, like the best I could find. If they keep it up I'll stick with them!

I use a.........Race X analogue tyre pressure gauge. :D

It does sound like no vacuum to the servo or a faulty servo.

I originally got my (very similar) B7 because I need light steering and a comfortable seat due to my health. So I had to give up my usual BMW's. But these cars have really gotten under my skin and I'm on my second. They just do everything so well. Fast, practical, dynamically excellent and easy...

Mines on 92k and will definitely be changing the gearbox and diff oil.

you might have more luck finding a high spec German saloon if you go for a 6 pot. You're deep in rep/fleet land with the 4 pot diesels, so original buyers tend to go easy on the options list.

+1 My sisters had a set of these for over ten years and they've had a hard life. Still good as new. On par with Bahco or Teng imo.

I wouldn't buy a car with a 50k gap in the service history. There are enough cars about to not settle for one with potential troubles and a rough interior. I'd find another one to look at. :)
