Dont know it but looks tidy. I would always test drive though at the very least.

does look good however I would be extremely weary of DRC failure if it doesn't have an Audi warranty - the guy may be trying to punt to out to an unsuspecting buyer. it should handle tight as a drum with no wallowing, unsteadyness, knocking.

The fact that bidding went to £14k says it all about these and their prices.

tbh, the warranty is pointless if the DRC packs in every month. I'd be budgeting for coils and a dealer warranty before touching one.

Nice car though

Warranty is a pre-req to run one of these unless you have deep pockets.
But then you gotta ask yourself, how many cars out there have any warranty left? Theyre coming onto 6 year old cars, so not many...

Expect high running costs with the usual wear and tear and expect to budget for it. The initial outlay is only part of the story...

1.8T forever ;)

I wouldn't be busting for a warranty to cover DRC, it's relatively inexpensive to change to the after-market replacements out there, and I'd bet they'd wriggle on it as W&T anyway. I am looking for one at the moment however, imperative I think for transmission and turbo failures. Much more expensive to fix!

Exactly why I have one - even with no DRC... ;-)
