Hi guys,

I've been lurking for quite a while in the dark, reading around the common problems for A4s (Cam, Fuel Pressure Pump, Coils) before going ahead and purchasing a 2006 A4 2.0T Quattro.

I've previously owned a Passat 2002, which served me well before a very old man rammed into me on a red light. Since I've always wanted an Audi and the maintenance costs are probably similar to a Passat (most parts were Audi brander ones), I said I should go ahead and make a little bit of an investment and get what I really wanted. Test drove a few - some with fewer KM and 1 year newer than mine - but in the end this one felt the least abused and the most 'proper' to drive. Can't really explain, but you probably know what I mean.

4000 km later and she runs great, so hopefully by now I can be sure I didn't get a lemon. I do have some A/C problems (only hot air) but for that I'll post in another section.

Here's a picture of my baby and allow me to thank you all for your contributions to the forum and indirectly, to my purchase decision.

Cheers,
Dan.

Thanks!

I'm more of the stock (visually at least) type of guy and the car has already 119k km on it. I don't know if it's worth doing an ECU remap or any expensive performance mods...

I'm getting a Denison Five system right now to connect my iphone and bluetooth and i'm thinking maybe a remote starter (the ones I can do from my iphone since I don't see the car from my flat, hence I couldn't start it with a normal starter)
