cruiser647 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 What age one are you looking for? Common faults - depends upon the age. I have a 2.8 auto Quattro on a N-reg. Seems OK, engine is good and as always keep to regular servicing and it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi Lee78, The fault on my lights seems to have gone !! Overall on my 2.8 i am happy, i find the overall economy to be very good, i would say it is better than my 1.8T Passat (Tip), Which i was very surprised by. I think the car (in Volcano Black) looks very good, especially with the Vanilla leather. I have seen others with different colour and leather or even cloth combinations and they do not seem to look as good, so choose your exterior/interior combination with care. I have not had it serviced yet but given i do not intend taking it to Audi i expect it to be ''reasonable'' ! One item i am really glad it has is the BOSE sound system, excellent, you will not want to go back to standard fare if you have it for more than a day. Good look in your search, i have to say it did take me a while to find one with the right colour and mileage and condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd_W Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I have a nice 98 2.8q for sale - have a look in the ads section. It is a rich metallic green with vanilla leather and I am really going to miss it when it is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
