I've been offered yet another B5 A4 relatively cheap.
This one is a 1.9 tdi - 1997 P plate.
Td (red)I. Does that make it the 100bhp model? What the likely engine code?
After the lad spent just shy of £400 notes getting it through its test last July, 2 months later the drive belt tensioner collapsed and snapped the belt. It's been parked up ever since.
He's replaced the headgasket at 100k miles and the the turbo at the same time. Now it has about 133k ish miles on it.
He said the subframe has a hole in it and there is a subframe included with the car. He didn't specify front or rear but I'm assuming it's the front one. Are these easy to change?
Not sure when the timing belt was last done, I need to ask him.
Going to view the car at the weekend. He said bodywork is good but paintwork is not so. A front wing and the roof have been painter before and lacquer has peeled off.
I already have an A4 1.8 Auto for a run around. That's doing about 30mpg due to where we live, out in the sticks.
Can I justify yet another Audi? Or should I replace the Auto with the tdi?
When I say cheap, it's £200 he wants for it...he says scrap valued it at that?
