Hmm, very cheap. Just coming due for a big service with cambelt also - maybe that's part of the reason why?

It's due at 40k I think is the consensus. Mine was actually not done at 40k and has just had it done at 60k because not even all Audi dealers seem to agree (or at least they didn't used to though it might be better now).

It's too old to be a Plus and it has silver trims and roof rails - only the grills have been changed to black.

well i have been to see the car today and it is mint. Loads of paper work for it ( all audi ) and no faults, so i brought it. So i now have my car to start playing with. He also had a rolling road dino for it claiming 515bhp and 520 nm. Im going to have to increase this a lot more i think as it was a hell of a lot slower than the car i drive now. Still i cant be sure untill i time some runs in it down the track! Anyway im well happy with it and thats all that counts.

Do you mean you're going to quarter mile it? Bye bye gearbox if you do so regularly.

520nm (383lb ft or so) is low torque for a standard car never mind a tuned one and normally on dynos these cars give low power and high torque readings. Mine for example shows well over 500ft lb.

Please don't think I'm trying to rain on your parade, but something doesn't seem right there and it's better you know if there is a problem.

Sorry i got it wrong. It is 512lb ft not 520nm! And yes i hear that the gearbox is going to be my biggest problem with this car. I will wait untill i break one first before i try and work out what to do about it.
