A8 4.2TDI Wanted...Dr G

[burwoodman]

Alex, Ive read on here before that you weren't so 'keen' on the TD. I don't really care about it being thirsty. Do you ever come into contact with them? Looking at an 07/08 with as many toys as possible in a dark colour and dark leather.

How do you operate regarding warranty. Id like to have a full audi warranty. Cheers Adam

Excellent choice Sir!

So pleased with mine every time I get behind the wheel, (which is a hell of a lot) I have a big smile on my face.

PM if Dr G cannot help.

Can not agree more - had mine 2 months now, just effortless overtaking power and surprising fuel economy on a long run - managed 700 miles on a tank the other day and I don't drive slow - but not like an idiot either.

Mine is a fully loaded one, with the adaptive cruise - still getting used to it whether I will overide the break in fast stopping traffic - but with all the specs average speed cameras it is proving a useful option. Other nice bits are Bose - a lot better than the standard audio, not heard B&0 bet that is really good. Auto opening boot is useful, and I use the soft close doors on the car all the time - but find I get annoyed when people get in my car and slam the doors shut - arrhh

Overall really pleased with it - and even as a big luxobarge in dynamic suspension mode it is quite nimble, gearbox in sport and using the flappy paddles on the steering wheel.

Downsides - gearbox on mine isn't that supersmooth, with a bit of gear change clunking going up or down gears sometimes - does anyone know if there is a reset - I know on the BMW ZF gearboxes if you hold down the throttle for so many seconds there is a clicking sound which resets it back to factory defaults?

4.2 was a surprising improvement over the 4.0 and is a good car if not the last word in economy (duh!).

Email me what you're looking for and I can keep my ear to the ground for you, [e-mail]
