Really wanting a Audi A4 S Line anyone got a audi?
I got £4k I want to spend on a Audi A4, But in the UK to get this car i'm going to have to get one with 90-100k miles on the clock most likely, Anybody got a Audi any problems i should know of before buying one? I heard something about DPF after 2008 or something.. Thanks |

| I have a 06 Audi A4. Bought it at 80K miles, At 120k ish right now. Ive done regular oil changes and use premium gas and i have not had any major issues with the car. The only issues since owning it were i had to change spark plugs. Other than that this car has less problems than the other ones i own and im surprised at that. |

Is it a diesel or petrol? I read somewhere I'll get hit with a £2.5k bill for a DPF if it's a diesel after 2008 But what you said sounds good |

| recommendation stay away from b7 platform, they are the worst. as a man who owns 2 b5s and sold one recently, I love them. 1.8ts are fun throw a tune on more fun, easy to build. Not to mention parts are easily obtained. Like the previous guy said 120k things start needing replacement. If you want a B5 then go for a 2001 last a4 year they have wide band, a lot more build ability. If you want a reliable daily then get a 2.8 b5 ... I know a lot about b5s, b6's are good as well... b8's are great after they are fixed for oil consumption. S line does not make a difference for most of them also. |

JDM wrote picks a b7 anyway but its a deisel so itll be okay i hope... we dont get diesel a4s here Lol yea.. I'm in Scotland and there's not a lot for a nice price here but soon as i went to see this car i really liked it. Thought i'd get the one i wanted then i wouldn't mind putting money into it making it awesome. Picking it up today, I also spent less than i had so i have a lot left to fix any issues. The car was listed for £3k i spent £2,650 and thats with 12months MOT and service etc included. Will add pictures later today Got basically half my money left so i'm happy. |

Any update on the car you bought mate?
2.0 TDI seem to encounter more issues with the transmission side of things than the 1.9 TDI engine does. I personally would have went for the other option, but I'm a Vauxhall guy myself. |
