I bought an ex demo car several years ago and it was fine. Just make sure you check it over properly. On the flip side, last time I visited my Audi dealer, the service dept chap was bragging how he'd driven a 200km trip in a way too fast time in one of the staff cars... My car won't be going...

I see what you're saying and agree that they always try to get that extra bit out of the unweary customer. Certainly 40k miles seems quite low even for a cam belt, though the age of the car/belt needs to be taken into consideration too. Using an independent for servicing is the way forward in...

Sounds like you're getting the cam belt and auxilliary fan belt mixed up. Fan belts can squeak when they slip. Cam belts throw a tooth or two and potentially destroy the engine internals as piston meet valves... The water pump is driven by the cam belt and is worthwhile doing with the belt as...

Not on the road though and certainly not near any other road users ;)

Sometimes the timing can be off for a reason, as you say there will be another opportunity down the road...

^^^^ Can someone move this to the "Why do Audi's get a bad rep" thread?

I never understood the game of "chicken". Pheasants are the worst for "Oh look, a car. Time for a walk..." Lost count of the number of near-misses with those stupid birds. You have wings, fly you stupid thing!

Remember that hire cars are literally the fastest on the planet! Boggo standard, doors driven off...

230mph? Is it April 1st?!

In my eyes the A3/S3 cabriolet looks a lot nicer since they used the saloon as the platform. The earlier version based on the hatchback looked awkward at the rear... Anyway, best car I've had as a courtesy car was an A4 diesel... Normally an A1 3-cylinder (nippy but bouncy ride) or a Q2 (which...

Jesus! So I guess the unspecified charge and environmental charge can be refunded if dripping fuel all over the place! All that money and can't do it properly....

You would have to try extra hard to put diesel in as the nozzle is fatter! Good that the garage has admitted it and hope it gets sorted at the earliest opportunity...

So if it was diesel, it would be OK to be half water???

Is the engine on and warm?

Corking looking motor that, mate!

I know, old chap ;) lol

I might have been on a few squadrons, but certainly wasn't the leader!!

Mine's a nickname I picked up when I was in the RAF. Everyone calls me Oz because of my surname, and there was a second guy turned up on the same Squadron with the same surname. Hence, after a fun-filled alcohol-fuelled discussion, the lads came up with it. And it stuck!

Real purest would be a Lotus Elise Sprint....

Personally I expect some sort of electric assistance in the next generation... So while the outright power may not increase massively, the delivery of that power will be better. Or I could be way off the mark ;)
