For info. and hopefully of benefit to some.
I have been made aware of a car being offered around the trade. Grey RS4 Saloon with wingbacks. Allegedly there are a number of issues with the car that it may be useful to know about, especially as the history file may or may not be present. Current mileage is circa 125k.
The suggested list of issues is as follows.
1. Paint. Front passenger side wing? Rear driver side wing? Bonnet? Rear passenger door, driver side looks off. More?
2. Bumper ill fitting - has been off, perhaps just for oil cooler change, perhaps more?
3. Wheels all kerbed - tyres apparently have chunks out the sidewalls.
4. Active exhaust flaps sticking - driver side stuck.
5. Rough running - misfire?
6. Oil cooler has been replaced but was leaking and had dropped some oil. Suggestion that car may have been run low on oil. Technician mentioned big top up needed (5 litres?).
7. Heated seat fault - undefined.
8. Passenger front door card may need replacement.
9. "Optics" - window surrounds etc may need replacement.
This isn't a complete list.
