Is that £250/260 a year? Quite a bit more then my ph1 172 then ;-) but still not bad I guess and if same as a ph2 its ok. Hmm yeah consumption doesn't actually sound bad when you put it like that. I get about 150/175 out of £30 depending on driving
I looked at them a few weeks ago still the same price
Ph1s are cheaper?!
awwwmy mpg is usually around 27/28 but regardless, I get 150ish miles to £30

Yeah i think its about the engine size pre 2003 iirc rather than emmisions.
Ouch! 27/28 mpg! i keep complaining if im below 35! lol
How much are they then? Meh, you've just cheered me up if you get the same miles to the same money lol. The mpg screens must be typically French then
I'll double check but i think tax on mine is around £120 for 6 months, a year i think its around £210 so not a massive difference really
Ahh that's the the one, tbh i culdnt be sure if it was 2001 or 03 but your right
Its one of two things the ph1 has going for it over the 197 lol
lol. No not really as there isnt as much difference as i first thought!
tbh though i couldnt justify the initial cost to jump from my ph1 to a 197 just yet anyway.. just thought the one advertised in the add was a bit on the cheap side
Drive an Audi with a dsg box! There are less failures but the mechatronic unit is not cheap to replace!
I had a look at a cheap 197 in the Spring, turns out it was the one Tiff Needel test drove fory fifth gear, it ,was a nail!! It was cheap for a reason and the guy's story for selling it didn't add up-it came with 12 months mot but had a cracked windscreen and knackered tyres?? Passenger door didn't open from outside either!
It'd be interesting to see how good the car was??

The point i'm trying to make is that i drive a 200 that's had a replacement box already, if it fails it'll cost me £600 to repair it, my TT had a dsg box and i was paranoid if it did something odd or made a strange noise!
In comparison, the clio is less of a worry as it:'s potentially cheaper to repair and it wouldn't stop it buying another, whereas I'll never buy another dsg car!

Sorry was only going with what i was told.
The mechatronic unit is usually the problem and costs atound £2500 from audi, however there is at least one company that repairs them but with removal etc it costs around £800. As cars are getting older, there're lots more failures, saying that, a lot o newish cars fail too.
I took a warranty on my TT but it had to be serviced at a vat registered garage. The TT service indicator counts down on many things such as journey length, cold starts, ambient temp etc. I lost my company van and used my TT for the 10 miles daily journey-it counted down 5000 service miles in a month!
Anyway, think it's worth testing the box comprehensively on a cheap sport and also really important, look when the cambelt needs replacing as this is potentially another £500 that's often over looked.
