Good cars, not too quick as standard tho. Make sure you check the doors, bottom of them behind the black trim can rust, lots of people suffered on audi sport, including mine. Cambelt and water pump every 60k miles, although the figure varies dependant on who you ask. MAF sensors are prone to failure, coilpacks have been known to go. Expensive if they go wrong (not too much of an issue as Jr will help out im sure) standard diverter valves are about as good as a chocolate teapot. Avoid doing front mount intercoolers unless changing for bigger turbo too, avoid AmD tuning company, thats all i can think of.
Also dont leave it with Jr, he breaks them 
(only joking James  )

No serious, you are only round the corner really, be happy to help. You got one in mind or just looking in general? If its an S reg, gold, RS6 wheels, FMIC, avoid it like the plague

a friend has a friend selling one. FSH, year 2001, asking for £4900, 104k miles though. I have asked for more details....If it doesn't go through, I will be looking for another one. I want one since he put this in my mind this morning
