    A5 2.7 Tdi

    Cheers for the replies. a few people have been critical of the 2.7 TDI so it's looking like a 2.0 TDI unless a reasonably priced 3.0 becomes available.....Quite like the look of the black edition models but not sure the extra cost is justifiable when you don't seem to get much for it other than...

    A5 2.7 Tdi

    I'm after any thoughts or comments anyone has on the 2.7 TDI A5. I'm looking at a 2009 S Line version with 44k on the clock - priced £17.5k. Is there anything in particular I should look out for? Have heard about issues with the gearbox on some models? Also does anyone on here own one and is...

    How to spot a Black Edition

    Anyone on here had any experience converting a stop start/single exhaust into a twin? Just wondered how big a job it would be, cost etc. I think I would need a new valance and the honeycomb bit in the middle which is separate I think. Is it easy enough to remove the single and fit new twin...

    Black Edition models

    Cheers for the replies everyone. It is hard to compare but looking at Kevin and Dans figures they are quite impressive for a car that still has enough power when you need to get past something. As you say it depends on driving styles but I never really thrash cars so I would say I'll be looking...

    Black Edition models

    Hi, first post on here, have been reading the forum a while but only just got round to signing up. I am wanting to buy a 5dr black edition in black. I've looked at a couple so far, one a 170PS version and one a 140. Was just wondering from people who actually own one (rather than Audi figures)...
