My car has had 3 rear impacts and you can't tell at all.

Is it me or is the rear driver tyre newer that rear passenger?

And in English?

Call up audi, speak to the service dept and ask them Q's on mileage, servise etc, etc.....

In the past they have been vey helpful to me. I used Audi West London.

I'd prefer a car that has sat on the motorway and done 110k rather than a 60k miler that's been round and round London.....

[Moar]

Circled all the places to look at closely etc.

You shouldn't have raised this over the phone, he will now check it over himself and make sure all trim lines up etc.

Obviously he will say he doesn't know.





Do you have a friend that you can take with you?

I think that was Gaddaffi's car and was bombed by the RAF when he was escaping Tikrit. It's amazing what a few weeks in a bodyshop will do. My advice? Check for sand in the wheel arches. Dead giveaway.

Tikrit?

WTF was he doing in Tikrit? Looking for his old mate Saddam?

No wonder they couldn't find him for so long. Who would have thought to look in Iraq?

Back seat looks like it might've had an isofix baby seat wedged in tight for a long while?

Try and get a decent warranty.
I have a A6 with 130k on.
All is good at the moment but I have had to sort problems with the throttle body and swirl flap controllers.
Both these parts use plastic components which wear or break.
I've sorted mine for about £100 but if you go to Audi it's over a grand for swirl flap work and £400 for the throttle body.

Still drove with faults on these though so not end of world but obviously it better for things to be as they should.

That interior colour is

Are you one of those who only likes interiors in black. Yawn.

Current one is, but a past A4 cab was red. Lovely!

[Piepiepie]

Well? Was it a pistonshed?

[Moar]

Well?

[Piepiepie]

Maybe he bought it and it fell apart on the way home? He's currently stood on a small grass verge at the side of the A595.

[Moar]

Someone should have told him to sign up to RAC.

[Piepiepie]

It's now a matter or principle, im not going to stop until i found out what happened.

Maybe the dealer was a bit shifty, realised the OP knew what he was on about, and kidknapped him? The OP is current inside the actual boot of the A5 he went to view.

[Moar]

I think hes bought it as it's no longer on AT??

[Piepiepie]

It was probably so good, he's spent all his time driving it and not using ph.

This.

The mileage wasn't high enough for the age for the OP so he's wallowing up and down the motorway network.

I'm on the edge of my seat here....where's the OP when you need him!
