I started looking at 6k Audi a4s then thought we would get an 8k x5 but then realised 8k wasn't a very good one so went to 9.
Then actually looked at 1 at 10k that was shit.
Found a blinding facelift old shape at 11.5k spoke to the fella the day he advertised it and sounded perfect.
Rang the next day to put a deposit down and it was sold
I was so upset.
Then I saw this one which was a lot more money but for some reason I threw the budget out the window and bought it. No idea why lol.
But it's a lovely motor.
3.0d single turbo so not fast.
Not very good on fuel but has a couple of bits I need to do.
Got to reset the gearbox, throttle and ecu adaptions as it's learnt the way the previous owner drives. Also it runs very cold (68* instead of the std 92*) so needs a new egr thermostat and engine coolant main stat.
That should make quite a difference.
Then I will clean out the inlet tract and throttle and get some injector cleaner in it.
Aparently the dpf won't regenerate if the engine doesn't get hot enough so I have no idea how long it's needed the thermostats doing so the dpf could need a regen plus the egr isn't working properly as it's too cold too.
Then look into a dpf, egr and cat removal

then map it.
