2001 Audi A4 SE review from UK and Ireland
"A used gem!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A coil pack @ £20 and a thermostat at £50 (including sensor) Nothing other than that, had the belts replaced which is a stupidly big job, the whole front of the car must come off to allow this be done, take 6 hours or so, would be costly if using main stealers!
Can't knock the quality, buy a french car and then try compare, you'll complain no more to audi that's for sure!
General comments?
The car is not especially quick, I miss the turbo, although it does have a very good third gear for passing, great sound! Car is very quite at tickover and driving with manners will give 500 miles to the tank, pushing on as I would on the country roads, knock a hundred off that at the very most.
The car is very comfortable, I have the se spec, more than enough toys. I got the car at handy money as will you if your not a miser looking for the diesel, which I may add is a false economy, they don't give that much extra miles to the tank and are a min of £2000 more to buy with twice the miles already on them, £2000 buys an awful lot of petrol which is cheaper than diesel!
I'm keen on my cars and normally within two months id be looking to change again, but I must say I'm happy with the car, and that speaks volumes really.. I would try the 1.8t next possibly just for the turbo!
