I dont think its been thrashed, the owner certainly wasnt boy racer type and he reckons the guy that had it before him lovingly serviced it too, so should be fine. The RS badges will be coming off. Speaking of which, whats the best way to remove them?

The guy is polish or something, he put "noisy engine" and meant "quiet engine", its quiet as a mouse.

hair drier to get the badges off and then white spirit to remove the residue, make sure you polish it after the white spirit though.

Looks tidy, but whats the 0-60

lol no boy racer owners but they fitted RS4 badges? thats a bit contradictory

The guy was a mid thirties and didnt seem to have boy racer profile at all, I think the badges were probably fitted by a previous owner. 0-60 is probably a few seconds slower than my MX-5.

Just saw that myself - hope its not knock knock big ends noisy !

Scrub that, just saw post above

Get it on Vagcom ASAP to see if it has been clocked. 95% of A4s have been clocked.

What the what?

How do I vagcom it? SHould I just take it to an Audi garage to check?

about a tenner on ebay and then use a laptop to talk to your car.

Not too up on what works with which model in that range, but something like this

what about the one under your bed for when you cant sleep ?  or the one in the bathroom for when youre on the loo ?  or the one you keep in the car incase you breakdown ?

Best car for your money, no doubt Its Audi its an old B5, nice looking for no money

Those TDIs get very noisy if thrashed, they also sound horrible in the cold.  Mine fortunately a 55k still sounds reasonabily quiet.

Again, nice little buy there.

VAGCOMs also save you £50 diagnosis fees when you get the odd fault light.

I might just take my beemer off the road for 3 months or so... this will save me a shed load
