Hi my colleague is selling a 2001 Audi Quattro TDI for very little and I might give it a go. Do any of you have any thoughts about this platform, common problems etc?

Is it the V6? If it is the VP44 fuel pumps don't like running low on fuel as they're fuel cooled and lubricated nor do they like poor quality diesel.

They go well and sound awesome with no silencers in them too, just be aware if the pump lets go it's fecking expensive.

They can have cam problems. The lobes come loose (yes, really), which causes varying degrees of mayhem.
Is this in A4 or A6 flavour?

A4, 130k full history, and shouldn't be more than £600. Rusty front wings, and dent in the tailgate, but ticket until Feb
Don't think it's ULEZ compliant though

I had a auto one for 3 years. It was on 189k when I moved it on. Great car, very comfortable and quick. It did eat a few CV joints. It was drive spiritedly. Had a few vacuum leaks which affect the turbo, much better once sorted. Was generally a good daily.

We had a 2004 2.5 allroad for a year. It got through tyres quickly but didn't skip a beat. 180k and it sounded sweet. Airbags did start to sink before we sold it tho
