• Thoughts on an Audi B7 A4 avant 2.0T Quattro manual with 130,000 klms and full service history... what would be the major costs to expect? I'm thinking turbo, suspension and various quattro bits will need doing. Have been offered on for $15000 AUD. Seems fair? Anyone with experience with this vintage of Audi?

  • I've got a 1.8T quattro on 130000km, they sludge up if not properly maintained apparently, I've replaced a wheel bearing and the head gasket's showing early signs of going, and I can hear a whiring which I suspect is a quattro thing although it's not come up on the last two MOTS/services

  • Thanks for the info. I'll have a very careful look over the car - right now is not the time for a massive gamble as it's going to be the sole family car.

    @Constable_Savage - good tip for the wiper, wouldn't have ever checked that.
    Luckily the car is a manual so it has not of the auto and CVT issues.

    It's either the A4 avant or a new/demonstrator base model Pug 308 - the 3 cylinder turbo engine is a very nice little engine but over here the interior is basic black plastic which is a bit drab.
