just curious.....about 1998 model.

 

Fantastic cars.

Well made, comfy, handle well and pretty rapid even as standard (with lots more available easily when tuned)

A bit "dull" though

 

Very rapid cars from standard and a remap gives another 50 odd bhp.

Good cars and still well in the reliability bracket.

 

YES but then im biased

Loving mine

edited to add a bit more usefull info

had it 6 months was on 97k then now 101K

full servive history

costs since ive had it 98k service Ł300 main dealer ( i know, but books stamped )

6 plugs Ł60
2 front brake lines Ł14
rear pads Ł12


only thing thats broke is a hazzard relay, Ł32

oh bought the vag com software at Ł200 very handy diagnostics

 

Stu has just got one, Jay, i take it he wants to do a deal on something else?

 

They are expensive if you go to Audi for stuff... Mines due in for a Ł350 oil and filter change next week (but at least that includes the VAT )

for loads of info


oh whats the mileage? as they are due a cambelt @ 80 k ranges from Ł500 @ a specialist to Ł1000 main dealer, and whilst the belts being done, the waterpumps a weak point so worth doing that too, another Ł200ish

 

mines a 99.5

Autocar sum-up was "Rapid, refined and grippy but driver too isolated from the action"

 

Listen out for gearbox noise carefully . Used to work for audi when they came out and did several gearbox changes under warranty.
Normally whine in first gear a bit but shouldnt hear it in any other gears.
Apart from that bloody good cars.

 

That goes without saying on all quattros imho. the only vw/audi boxes i've seen with trouble is first & second gear on quattros, too much grip than the box can take from a standing start i suspect!

 

which stu?

no,someone came in and said they were thinking about buying one and did i know of any for sale-got me thinking and maybe a blue s4 avant would be an ideal car for me.........for a week or so

 

Kims Stu
