Hi All

I'm looking at purchasing an Audi A4 Convertible 2002 - 2004 model

My question is about the reliability factor, are the roofs solidly built, is there anything to watch out for with the engines, gearboxes etc. could mileage be an issue with the larger 2.4 V6 engine?

Many Thanks

Thanks for the information so far guys, I was looking at getting the 1.8T, I was just wondering if there was anything major to look out for, the belts on the larger engines I know can be an issue

Not sure about the 2.4 V6, but the 3.0 V6's timing belt is a bh of a job so make sure it's been done recently!
I imagine the 2.4 might be the same because isn't it the same engine as a 3.0L

I would mainly be using it to and from work which I only live 20 mins from, I also have a 1987 MK2 Golf GTI which I use at the weekends, I'm now considering a 2.4 because of previous posts and there seems to be more around

That's interesting, I suppose from looking around and on here its dependent on each car, some people mention little issues yet some have had next to no issues at all, it's luck I guess, thanks to all the posts much appreciated

Regards
