kPATm Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Im on the lookout for a car and I like the look of the A4s. Anyway this has shown up a few miles away but I know nothing about them. Iv never owned a diesel as I probably only do 7k a year mostly local. Can anyone give me advice on whether the car is worth looking atI know diesels benefit from long fast motorway runs. Is this particular engine/gearbox reliable and is there things I should look out for? Thanks for the help. ttps://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/643015733377315/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 My advice is look at buyers guides on YouTube. But if you're doing 7k miles a year then I'd strongly recommend you get a petrol. The diesels like to do big mileages. And short journeys can block up the dpf & EGR as the engine doesn't get warm enough to get rid of the soot via a regeneration. This is where it burns off the soot particulates. They're around £1000 to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
