Hi,
I've been looking for a b6 avant sport as I know the engines and running gear go for a long time if looked after. But after dragging the family on a 5hr round trip yesterday to look at my 7th I've come to the conclusion the spec and condition (ie no rust beginning on the arch lips) , just doesn't seem To be available.
So I'm now considering the b7 avant, s line special edition. There are a number available between the 6-8k with most on just over 100k.
As with the pd130 in the b6 are these engines good for 200k ? as I'd be looking to keep the car until it dies.
With most being sold at around 100-120k is this clutch replacement territory? Or anything else I should be concerned about at that mileage?
Apart from ensuring the injectors were replaced under recall, anything else I should be aware of?
We did own a b7 s line saloon a few years back which we loved, but sold when the balance shaft issues began.
