First of all, hello... nice to see a modern looking forum for a change!
Had a good lurk around the FAQ but got a few specific questions regarding a car I am looking at purchasing...
It is a 2004 2.0 140TDI Sport with 81k on the clock and here is a summary...
The Good:
Thanks.
Had a good lurk around the FAQ but got a few specific questions regarding a car I am looking at purchasing...
It is a 2004 2.0 140TDI Sport with 81k on the clock and here is a summary...
The Good:
- I think I can get it around £5k because I know the seller and hes moving soon and needs to get rid of it.
- It has a FSH by Audi.
- Bodywork is in very good condition, needs a valet inside but pretty impressed.
- Appears to run well but I am yet to take it on a proper run out.
- Had a major service last May with the timing belt replaced along with intercooler seals and bottom arm bushes. Plus some other odd jobs this came in at around £1k's worth of work.
- It had a longlife service and MOT in May. Only advisories were two low tyres (I can use this to leverage the price)
- BKD engine, I've heard lots about turbo problems and cylinder head issues. What do I need to lookout for when I test drive it properly?
- I can't see that the waterpump has ever been changed or the flywheel. Is this an issue at 81k and how expensive to replace if it goes wrong?
- There is an airbag light displaying on the dash, the only service report I am yet to read (can hopefully see it tomorrow) is the most recent so I am hoping this is nothing. If it isn't what are the likely causes and how much will it cost to put right?
- I did an error code scan today and only found one; 17055. I believe this amounts too "Cylinder 1 glow plug circuit. Electrical Fault." I am assuming this involves replacing the plug? Approximate cost anybody?
Thanks.
