BBOA Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi Everyone. I have recently purchased a Q7 and I am now looking to buy either a TT or A4 Cabriolet AUTO. Given my budget the age-range of these would be from 2003-2006 I Imagine. By the sounds of it the biggest issue with these cars is the cambelt, just wondering if some Audi experts can give some advice whether these models/age would be worh pursuing given the issues. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hi Bradley, I'm sure I answered this topic?! Think my reply didn't save. The only rust to be weary of is on the front wings which is a common fault of vag cars from this era. This is caused by a piece of foam which is between the arch and wheel arch liner and obviously absorbs moisture and thus rusts the arch. Obviously make sure the roof works as it can be expensive to fix. I've also found these YouTube videos which may help: Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Cott Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi Bradley Obviously, budget is the thing. I paid a bit over the odds a year ago for mine but it was immaculate. Make sure the DSG box is in good working order, my A3 is 10 yrs old now , it had a cambelt change at 70000 (now at 84000) & is completely rust free with everything working perfectly so far. including the hood which is down on every rain free day. Good tips from Steve, just make sure you see full service history. happy hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
