An update to a previous post after selling the car, which was partly as a reaction to the Governments threatened tax hike but mainly due to the following:
<br>
<br>Faults over 18 months & 10,000 miles-
<br>
<br>CD Autochanger
<br>Early cambelt change due to water pump noise
<br>Engine temp sensor
<br>Air Mass Meter
<br>Coil packs
<br>Heater control unit (ouch!)
<br>Haldex unit (double ouch!)
<br>Corrosion - rectified under warranty
<br>
<br>In the end enough was enough and it had to go. The car was a luxury treat purchase and wasnt cheap - and although not from a dealer it was immaculate had a full Audi service history. It turned to be ten times less reliable than the 135,000 mile Mk3 Golf GTI that it replaced.
<br>
<br>Unfortunately the good features of the car have been so badly tarnished by my aching wallet, I dont really remember any - other than my wife liked the aesthetics.
<br>
<br>So in all, pretty rubbish & a Lemon. |
