07-08 A6 Le Mans, any difference?

[Norrington21]

07 onward should be pretty much a sound purchase imo. However If I were buying again, I'd be happier with a fully loaded (le mans or s line with MMI High 07 plate with all the extras and lower mileage but a slightly higher price than I would with a 58 plate with a higher screen price.

The V6 diesels don't have a cambelt .. They're chain driven.

Early cars had chain rattles but 07/57/08 will have everything sorted so no real problems. Over the past 4 years I've only had the odd glow plug and the odd intake manifold go but these are common problems and there are fix kits out there but never had a breakdown or anything major happen.

My car has 79k on it and services are every 10k/1 year.

Please please please get your oil changed every 10k or 1 year, having it in your engine for 2years/20k is madness and many experts on here convey that it reduces the lift of your engine.

20k for air filter and whatnot else is fine but get your oil changed 10k/1 year without a doubt.

Most '58 plates will be facelift but you always get the odd prefacelift on a 58 which hasn't been registered until later.

Make sure you get MMI High - ie the colour screen above the centre airvents - makes the car a nicer place to be plus make sure you get Bluetooth as it can be expensive to add it afterwards.

Le Mans will come with rear parking sensors as standard, interior light pack, 19" double arm alloys, volterra leather and a 30mm drop in ride height.

All a6s come with cruise as standard

Just remembered Le Mans have front heated seats as standard too which is nice in Winter

Thanks guys, some really good info there. I've seen comments across the forum from both of you, looks like you're on the pulse with these so appreciate you taking the time.

I've driven a few Le Mans already through a contact at my local Audi dealer, 2.7, 3.0 57's and a 2.0 '10 plate facelift. Not surprisingly I've decided upon the 3Q. I'm definitely on for the Le Mans spec, have been for years since seeing them used as staff/crew shuttle cars at Le Mans 24hrs and I'm finally glad to be in the hunt! MMi High is a must, AMi would be a nice extra, any thoughts on the Bose systems?

Wasn't sure about the chain/belt so thanks for clarifying that and I will be sure to change oil yearly. Pretty happy with the feedback I've read that an 07 or 57 will be just as good as an 08.

I've seen some highly spec'd cars on eBay but higher miles are putting me off a few of them, another one had keyless entry and start which was interesting. and memory seats. Would you mind taking a look at these two and giving me your thoughts.

This is the car I mentioned above.
"07 plate with 64k FASH, Will be fully serviced, MOT'd, Alloy's refurbed and bodywork taken care of."

And this is another I've been looking at.
I've not spoken to dealer as yet on this one. I've read mixed reviews on the adaptive xenons, do either of you have any experience of them?

I'm not stuck on these but this is where I'm looking at the moment.

As a complete outsider there is this! Pretty big spec but 91k on it?!?!?

Thanks again guys.
