Re: 1999 A6 1.8 vs +/-2000 A4 1.6
Thanks Peter, thats some interesting information. I have been looking at
other costs like tax and insurance and there doesn't seem to be much
between them.
I had thought of the timming belt, and wondered how could I be sure that
the have infact changed it, I'm being paranoid now.
Is there a factual site that you know of where I can educate my self (in
spelling), and Audi's, specifically the ones I'm looking at? And althought
you mentioned that there both close in Mpg, I didn't see what mpg I could
expect from either, or do you know.
Just one more question (Sorry bout this - I'm like a school boy in a
choclate factory), when you say Urban and Extra Urban, are we taking city
trafic, and rush hour city trafic? (sorry that propably is a stupid
question, but I'm not 100% sure).

Indeed - the A6 insurance will be a little more, but not prohibitively
so.

Difficult - other than looking for obvious signs of recent work (cleaned
areas around the front of the engine?), I think you'll be relying on the
word of the dealer.

There are a number of sites with interest in Audi, eg. www.audifans.net,
www.audiworld.com (american bias), and other discussion boards (eg.
www.tyresmoke.net).

Okay, the official figures are based on measurements intended to
represent stop/start (Urban) traffic in town, and out of town
(Extra-urban) driving. Then there's an average figure derived from those
two. However, remember that these figures may not be a close reflection
to what you will actually achieve in practice! Magazine tests usually
try to derive some test which, they would argue, is more representative.
Assuming that you're talking of saloon, front wheel drive, models in
both cases, the figures are:
Urban Extra-urban Average WhatCar? magazine
A4 1.6 25.0 47.1 35.3 39.1
A6 1.8T 26.4 42.8 34.4 29.5
I hope this helps.

Re: 1999 A6 1.8 vs +/-2000 A4 1.6
Thanks very much for the info, that was great. I will take it out for a
test drive tomorrow (all going well).
I was supprised to see the differences "What Car" gave the to cars, I
wonder which is more realistic?, I noticed that the A6 you reference is a
Turbo, the one I'm looking at, is not, I presume this is not good (from a
fuel economy point of view, I heard turbos can improve fuel economy).
Again, thank you for your help - its much appreciated.
