    Sorry to nose in on this topic: I've been putting off buying a 3.0 tdi for over a year now due to dpf worries but deletion sounds awesome. How much are you guys paying for the delete/remap?

    Well I went to Edinburgh to look at the a4 special edition, car drove well but the body work let it down. No rust or major dings but some one has been too enthusiastic with a buffer and you can seen swirl marks on the bonnet, I also got the impression that it had been bumped at some point...

    Is the 2.0t in the a3 the same as these engines? Only asking as there seem to be a lot more of them to choose from than the a4, I must admit that I much prefer the a4's looks but id maybe settle for a sportback a3.

    so I'll get a b7 instead ay?

    To be honest I've been looking for a good 6weeks and what I've realised is that if you wait for the "right car" you will never buy one.

    Not sure to be honest but he did my clutch on my s3 - which is a big job- for £700 so he is very reasonable.

    The point about longlife servicing is just my personal preference as my last car was a s3 225 bam which I oil changed every 6k miles and it ran sweet. I just think with turbo engines your cat do enough oil changes- but like I say that's just me, on the other hand I refuse to put supermarket fuel...

    If it's true that 2006 cars have the revised balance shaft it would be a massive relief since that's the potential big bill! I don't suppose audi recognise the problem/fault...........? 😡

    Thanks, I almost bought a dtm but pulled out of it due to the seller being a total idiot and being vague about work being carried out on the car, he bought the car for £8000 six months ago and wants to get rid for £6000- something wrong there! The dtm are BUL engines so I think that's what's...

    Hi I'm looking to buy a 2006 a4 2.0 tfsi special edition with the BUL engine. From looking on forums I'm a bit concerned over the problems that can arise from these engine which are costly to fix. My audi mechanic who looks after my cars says that these need to get the oil feeder/sender pipe...
