About £2.5K's worth.....well so far

Noise, this was the first thing that struck me, such a lot of road noise coming into the cabin. Fit and finish is OK, but then it's an Audi and one expects this but the seats are like benches and I feel like i'm sitting on the roof not the floor. NO POWER, now I guess this is relative but really, it has very little. Steering is so light and washy and this one is about 10 feet out of centre too.

I don't drive little cars like this often and in all reality it's probably a fair motor in the sector but how much are these things going for?

Nasty smelly little thing, they should have given you a proper car.

Housey · 26 Nov 2010 at 10:26

Brakes over servoed.....same old Audi.

Nightmare, so are you coughing up for the repair yourself?

Lol you roll up with an RS4 and they give you a 1.6 diesel hatch courtesy car. Gutted.

Beats getting the bus though.

..Right?

Firestar_3x · 26 Nov 2010 at 10:41

Having your leg amputated by a horde of angry squirrels beats taking the bus.

Stop being an A3ist!

Actually, carry on

Housey · 26 Nov 2010 at 10:49

Bus..........is that where you plug your printer in?

Firestar_3x · 26 Nov 2010 at 10:51

Think of it as a storage device for unwanted items.

I'm getting new pads, new fog light, 4 new suspension legs (they are tired) and MAYBE a new front diff.....which will make the 2.5K a 'bit' more I suspect. The pads I have supplied myself, a saving of £150 but it also needs new front tyres, rear tyres and then a full suspension alignment, which is next week. Seems pointless buying a new daily car so will get it 'newed' and run it into the ground.
