Hi all, the A4 is a lovely car and I'm planning to get a replacement for my
95 A4 with no air con and manual windows etc. I want remote central locking,
electric windows (all 4), climate control and problem free (early A4s are
known to have problems with reader coil or immobiliser, sunroof motor, front
left grinding noise and who on earth would want to manually wind down
windows in an Audi?!).

I want one that by factory standard has all these features without the
common A4 problems. I'm going to spend about ¢G8000 on a 1.8SE/T, and would
like to know what year model of the A4 would be what I should be looking
for?

Are the plain 1.8 out of the question? As they seem to have all manual
windows at the back, even the SE's don't always come with all elec windows
(strange...), and some T's don't have climate control... it's confusing how
Audi decide what to put in their models...

So my question is: what year+model should I be looking out for?

Cheers, Jules

Its not confusing, its the owners, when you buy an Audi you specify what you
want in it from build.

Some Audi's come with Climate some dont, mine has sunroof and climate,
1.8T's tend to either have climate or sunroof, depending onthe previous
owner.

Just keep looking, but dont get one with a sunroof only, AIRCON is a must,
as it will effect the resale value as you already know
