Hi guys, first time poster long time reader.
Im really interested in getting an A3.
Heres the problem, im 23 and have no 0NCB but have been a named driver for 2 years. I really want the 1.8T sport in black.
But i only have roughly £3500 to spend on the car and £750-1000 for insurance.
Do you think i am better of getting a 1.6 and building my NCB? Also how cheap are these cars to run? ive heard the cambelt can go but is there anything else major. What are the life spans of the turbos? does this increase engine wear etc.?
Last question - I saw an S3 in this thread
s4 wheels on a3
(im not allowed to post links yet)
And the wheels on this are prefect and i would definatly be thinking about getting some. I think they are the S4 B6 wheels.
Could someone explain to me what 8x18 means and also would it be worth lowering a standard A3? (Are the S3 lowered as standard?)
Sorry for all the questions
Just really interested and i like getting clued up etc.
Thanks again
Chris
