hi

just took the plunge and bought

a 2003 Audi 2.0 Se avant automatic will get it next week

if anyone has any advice on these cars please feel free

being my first automatic too, I thought a change from a manual wouldnt do any harm

thanks

Check when the cambelt was last changed and also the gear oil if it's a multitronic

thanks Dark Horse

what is the cambelt change intervals?

and it comes with alloy wheels as standard ? (insurance)

cheers

[Dark Horse]

Cambelt should be changed every 60k miles or 5 years, whichever is soonest. No need to worry about alloys for insurance if it's standard.

I was considering once I have the car would it be prudent to take it to an indie audi specialist for to have it checked out maybe even a full service and if required a cam belt change to ensure that all is fine with it

test drive seemed fine but maybe worth it ?

if not I could return it to the garage under warranty then

[Dark Horse]

If you bought it from a garage and it has a warranty then no need as the garage might have already done this (check the service book) but if the service is due (or coming up), might as well get that done at the same time as the cambelt.

Or you could have asked the garage to chuck in a free service before you bought if it's due?

I have had a quick scout about dealership deals and the

£49.99 MOT

including MOT protection which covers up to £750 wide range of repairs

does this seem too good to be true or actual quite a good deal?

thanks

Be careful with that deal. When I enquired it was £49.99 on TOP of the £53.50 for the MOT!
