Hey everyone. I have used forums like this for pretty much every car I have ever owned and found them very useful with a wealth of knowledge. I'm now planning to buy an Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI TDV 140 S-line 57 reg.

I understand the TDV relates to a particulate filter that can clog. This obviously concerns me as I understands it's expensive to replace. Is it really that big a deal? The car I'm looking at has only done 35k and has full Audi service history so I'm guessing all will be well...

Or would I be better off getting one with an engine that does not have the TDV?

Also is there a really noticeable difference between the 140bhp engine and the 170bhp engine? I would have ideally liked the 170bhp but they seem hard to find especially in my price range which is a max of 12k

Any help and advice for this newbie would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Carl.

 

Never mind I took the chance and went for it. So far very happy :-) Must be cheaper to run than what my Subaru Impreza was anyway :-) lol

 

post some pics!

 

Not much point. Nothing special about it. Looks the same as any other lol. Can understand posting pics if I had made any changes or customizations but the car is sexy as it is. If you want to see what it looks like just do a search on google images lol.

 

One other question. Would someone be able to tell me as my car is a 2008 on a 57 plate does this make it a B7 model? or a B8 Model? I need to know as I want my Alpine Double Din Screen fitted and need a suitable facia.

Thanks

 

Never mind I found out its a B7
