Hi,
I have jsut become a proud owner of a 53 plate 1.6FSI in Ebony black, 17 inch alloys, steamed up passenger's front light (to fix - thanks already to the forum I know how to) that's done 95,000 miles. The car has had a new water pump, coils, 2 cambelt changes and ARB.
I've downsized from a 3.0TDI Quattro A5, and have had B7 & 8 A4s and cabriolets, so I'm no stranger to the brand. What amazes me however the space - it is absolutely unbelievable and the 'zippiness' of the little 1.6. Yes, I miss the toys and 500NM of torque and the 295bhp (remapped) V6, but it's a little beauty and already covetted by the wife.
Jobs to do:
Proper clay, polish (Menzerna R203 and Meguiars Ultra Finishing) with a DA, Werkstatt Prime and Glos followed by Autofinesse SPIRIT carnauba wax. There are a couple of touch ups to do on the back and the coolant will need a little G13 added. I'll valet the interior too - but apart from that - I'm well chuffed!
Photos to come when the snow's melted!
