Hi all,
For sale is my Audi that has been my main vehicle and family load lugger over the last year.
Has been lovely and reliable whilst returning 40mpg around town and up to 56 on our holiday (1500 mile fully loaded trip to France.)
The specifics.
Model: Audi A4 Avant TDI (90hp AHU)
Year: 1997
Mileage: 198,000
Tax: June 2014
MOT: July 2014
Pics: Below
Location: Huddersfield
Price: £800
Contact details: PM for phone number.
The car came to me with no service history, I have done lots of work to the car since owning it, however my level of organisation in keeping receipts is poor so you will have to take my word for most of this.
Both front wheel bearings replaced
3 x new front control arms
Cambelt, tensioners, waterpump, thermostat, air filter replaced March 2013 at approx 178,000
Oil, filter and fuel filter changed every 6k miles in my ownership
Alloys upgraded to 16 inch speedlines from a later SE model,(set of 5) front tyres are recently replaced Vredestein Wintracs with 5+mm, rears probably due soon.
Stainless steel decat pipe to replace broken section June 2013
Cruise control fitted June 2013
Upgraded to remote central locking using factory parts, comes with 1 x flip remote key and 1 non-remote key
Complete new clutch in July 2013 (solid flywheel model so no DMF to worry about)
EGR blanked and all vacuum lines in engine bay replaced with silicon
All engine and gearbox mounts replaced Nov 2013
Probably more I've forgotten!
Mechanically the car is spot on, runs happily on veg or bio. The 90hp AHU engine with wastegated turbo is famously reliable and should need for nothing but oil changes until it's next cambelt is due at 240,000. It has a towbar with dual electrics. I am making a huge loss if I take into account all the work I've done to the car as £800 is what I paid for it. It's ideal for a family car, load lugger/parts chaser, or even to smarten up a bit and hit it with some lows and rims.
Negative points
There are a few dents and scratches, worst ones pictured on front left and rear left corners.
Sunroof doesn't work
No stereo fitted
Cruise control stalk was made by me out of a passat stalk and the remains of my old one, functions perfectly but looks less than factory.
Boot/load area very mucky with oil stains etc, interior generally in need of a valet, back seat has stains and lots of glitter!
Has a slight boost leak at the moment, can't always hear it and isn't affecting performance but possibly hairline split in a boost pipe.
Oil leak from hose above rocker cover, hose is £15 from Audi although I was planning to fit a catch tank instead.
I will get the car cleaned inside and out and get some better pictures up soon.
Please note that I have listed as having 6 months tax, I have actually had to SORN the car as of yesterday as I've transferred my insurance onto my new car, I will get the tax on receipt of a deposit, due to stupid continuous insurance rules!
