Hi all,I just put down deposit on 2007 b7 - 75k on the clock. Completing the deal next weekend. Anything I should look apart from the obvious thing like disc pads etc..

Not sure if it mentions manifold flap linkages replacement in there but that's another. The plastic linkages wear. Hard to check this but ask the owner about it.

Lastly, many owners are now talking about replacing injectors as well, I've just bought a new set myself. They can get blockages after quite a few miles. Seems to be around the 80-100k mark that one or more may need replacement or a rebuild. Hard to check this one but evidence of misfire on startup and high fuel usage appear to be possible symptoms.
