Title: AUDI A3 S LINE TDI QUATTRO
Post by: sarobertson1 on October 02, 2013, 12:29:42 pm

Hi Guys,

I am going to see a 2007 AUDI A3 S LINE TDI QUATTRO with 65k on the clock tonight and am wondering if anyone has any experience with these cars and things that i should be looking out for? I love the idea of 4 wheel drive as i do a lot of snowboarding up north but am also a bit concerned as to the more things it has the more that can go wrong.

any thoughts and opinions welcome  :happy2:

My other half has a 06 A3 sline 170tdi Quattro. Its done 110k and is still like a new car, the 4wd is great in tricky conditions although it does cause a lot of drag so fuel economy isn't amazing. Is the one your looking at a 140 or 170 model?

check the servicing has included the haldex, its easy to tick the box in the book but check for receipts check they changed the oil, filter on the haldex unit.

Cheers for the comments, I didnt go for it in the end. it was a 170 model but there was evidence that it may have been involved in a crash so walked away in the end. back to the drawing board!

it is the 170 i would be looking to get.
