A new era...

They shouldn't even still use the 1.9, it's ancient now... a proper old skool turbodiesel.

Great work on the iPod connectivity. Looks OEM!

 

[Ali]

Oh nein! Turbo's/Superchargers...more hassle than they're worth. N/a POW-WA!

My dad bought a 57 plate A3 Sportback a few weeks back 2.0 diesel, 170 version and Quattro. S- line with full leather and 18" wheels. He's really happy with - I've borrowed it a couple of times and goes really well. Just sounds like a bag of nails when it's idling!

 

[daydotz]

are you sure its the 1.9 its been replaced with a 1.6 now :S

 

[fUbAr]

It's a 1.9, yeah. Maybe one of the last? Either way, can't wait to get mine back with it's extra 100cc.

 

[R20 CWH]

that 105bhp unit is f**king shite big time. I had a shot of a 'bluemotion' golf with that in, oh dear. Shite doesnt cover it.

 

[fUbAr]

Indeed, shocking to have ever left the factory tbh. Although apparently it's very economic.

I want mine back.

 

[R20 CWH]

aye economic in the sense that you dont want to drive it so it saves you loads on diesel

 

[fUbAr]

It's back, turbo problem resolved.

They also found a split CV Boot and an oil leak from the intercooler pipe connections... bloody car.

 

[AlexS]

Did the service receptionist try and stiff you on an oil top up bottle?

 

[fUbAr]

nope, very impressed with the service. Your own person looking after you is a great touch, she was quite fit too.

 

[fUbAr]

Some kind chap clipped the mirror and scuffed the bumper when I was parked up yesterday

 

[gaz44]

Ah...the joys!

 

[AlexS]

Did they leave any details?
AB autos will sort that for you, really good in there and not too far from your work...
