Hi All
Hoping you can help me here.
I recently had to chop in my V6 S4 Avant for a new Q7 with now having 3 kids, which the wife now drives. This means I have adopted her mega powerful 1.4 SEAT Leon FR 5F and so having owned high performance cars for the past 10+ years I am struggling with restaining myself from chopping it in for something around the same price as the Leon.
I have been wanting a V8 for ages and always liked the S5 4.2 tiptronic but the examples I have been looking at are at around 80-100k miles. To be honest this doesnt bother me one bit and budget would include anything for comsumables that could need repalcing but are there any big issues I should be aware of before purchasing?
After some research, only one I can come up with is the good old carbon buildup with it being an FSI engine but other than that, mechnically they seem pretty solid.
Thanks
