It's a 150 Bhp AFB engine. If you can stretch to the later 180Bhp ones thats what i would get ! I would have a a6 avant 180 Bhp quattro sport for sale next week as i just bought an allroad quattro. Its decent spec and in very good running order- just had a 3k engine rebuild due to cheap Dayco cambelt break. Spec includes xenons,cruise, dual climate, sports steering wheel and lowered factory suspension, new clutch and flywheel and many more...Only selling because i've bought a a6 allroad...

So what work your new purchase needs doing adamss?

New cv joints(done), track rod ends(done), new front brake pads and discs (done), full service(done), a new rear door and sideskirt + spraying, cambelt kit, water pump + thermostat (not working) and a few more bits and bobs (aux. belts, aux. belt tensioners and new HID bulbs ! For some reason the car was specced with factory xenon lights but there are normal halogen bulbs in the housing so something is wrong there !?!

I know of someone breaking an allroad (S Wales), (It still has rear doors on it). I purchased some parts from him some being the Ally trim. I Plan to sell my old door sideSkirts & roof rails (grey colour, Undamaged) I could give you 1st choice on the door skirt you need?
