Hi, my 1st post ![Respekt :respekt: :respekt:](/xf/styles/default/xenforo/asn/ab/respekt.gif)
Just come across this forum and it's great!
I'm looking at buying a '02 2.5TDi Avant A6. REason being, we've just had twins and also have a rather large dog. So the sports cars are not up to the job anymore lol.
Looking for as much info as I can get basically. I won't be buying straight away, as I'm waiting for a new rear bumper for my current car(nissan silvia s15) before I can sell it. So I've got plenty of time to read about the audi![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Is there anything to look out for when looking at these cars? Common problems I should check for/symptoms of? Or make sure has been replaced in the receipts? I've read water pumps are a problem with these. Is there anything else to look for?
Should I be put off by 100k mile motors? Or would I be better off going for a lower mileage example? For the last ten years I've had jap imports, and they've always come with really low mileage. So not sure whats normal for a uk diesel lol. Still lower is better right?
I was looking at the 2.7 turbo model but I can't justify that lol. I'd love it but I gottta be a bit economical now. Unless flashing or chipping the ecu makes the petrol version a HELL of a lot better lol.
I've chosen to go for the diesel engine due to mpgs. Can someone tell me the average mpg you're geting? With what kind of driving? Town/M-Way A roads
lol etc
Despite the economy bit, I am open to tuning the car still, so let me know what options there are? Is it possible to flash the ecu? etc etc![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
