History and Mechanicals

The car has done 45000 miles, with a full Audi Service history. The most recent service was done just a few hundred miles ago on the 22nd March 2006, so not due another for ages! I have all paperwork from new, and receipts for all servicing etc. It has all the traction control, ABS brakes, stability control etc features.

Car supplied new 16 June 2004 by Southampton Audi – is less than 2 years old.

Services,on the Audi variable Service Scheme:
• 04/01/05 Southampton Audi – 15290 miles
• 11/08/05 Southampton Audi – 30716 miles – (inc. multitronic gearbox oil change and brake pads all round)
• 22/03/06 Southampton Audi – 44981 miles
Next service due around 16000 miles from now!

It has the fantastically smooth Multitronic Auto Gearbox, with normal, sport and tiptronic modes – tiptronic controls at the gearlever and also on the steering wheel

Remap – It received an AMD stage 1 remap on the 15th March 2005, for which I have a full genuine AUDI receipt – Wayside Audi, for £550 + VAT. The work is also separately warranted by AMD in Bicester. (http://www.amdtechnik.com/product.details.cfm?ProductID=13&VariantID=12&ReferenceID=1251 )

This gave it a 25% increase in power and torque over the standard car, and made a massive difference to the drive, smoothness and responsiveness

Warranty work
The Gearbox ECU has just been changed under warranty. No mechanical fault at all, but a sensor had failed so they replaced the gearbox electronics. This was done at the same time as the most recent service, in March 2006

Wheels & Tyres: Full set of NEW Tyres (Goodyear Eagle F1’s – 235/45/17) fitted in 13th February 2006 – have done less than 2000 miles. Spare tyre is also a Goodyear F1 with loads of life too, on a full size alloy wheel (no spacesavers here!) Have also got 2 part-worn but still very legal tyres which can go with the car!. Car has the original toolkit and jack including the locking wheel nut tool.

The Alloys are the weak point of the car – all 4 have got some minor scuffs, consistent with the mileage etc. I have left these untouched, so prospective purchasers can see them as they are – To be honest if I was keeping the car I would fork out the £150 or so to have them done.. This might be a negotiating point?!


Body / Interior / features etc

Metallic Atlas Grey, full colour coded and factory lowered ‘sport’ bodykit, with front foglights etc. Projector style Automatic headlights, electrically adjustable from the dash. These come on automatically after dark, or when you unlock the car after dark, to light your way to it.. or from it when you lock it again!

Charcoal cloth interior, never ever been smoked in, with electrically adjustable front sport seats and centre armest. Brushed alumium inserts on doors and dash, match beautifully with body. 3 Spoke Sports steering wheel, with tiptronic controls for changing gear without letting go of the wheel.. Black genuine Audi tailored Mats etc

6 airbags – in the dash, side impact bags in the seats, and also in the headlining..

Electric windows front and rear..driver override for rear windows

New type ‘aero’ wipers, recently replaced

Factory Alarm / Immobiliser, with controls in drivers door for disabling

Auto dimming rear view mirror – excellent! Side mirrors are heated, electric mirrors with ‘extra wide angle’ section on Drivers side

‘Symphony’ 10 speaker Stereo, with multi-CD changer in the dash, tape as well, superb sound, and can even record your traffic announcements automatically when you aren’t in the car.. Cd/radio etc and trackinfo is displayed in the in-dash display as well as on the unit itself..This system has been upgraded invisibly to include an MP3 interface, so you can use any Ipod or other MP3 player, and play the sound through the cars own hi-fi..

Nokia car kit, new type with replaceable cradle – currently has a Nokia 6230i cradle, but can be changed in moments to suit alternative models. This is fully integrated hands free, mutes the stereo when in use, and has an excellent sound quality. Has a ‘no drill’ bracket mounted on the dash so could be removed leaving no holes at all.

Full remote central locking, both keys supplied and the spare master. The remote key fob can lock, unlock, open the boot, or open and close all windows as required..

Faults:
No electrical or mechanical faults whatsoever! This is a great car, and meticulously maintained.
There are a few very minor stonechips on the paintwork, they are so small they don’t show up in the photos! and some minor scuffs on the alloys but overall it is in fantastic condition, regularly polished and cared for! It has not received a professional valet, so how you see it is how it is!

We are in Ferndown, in Dorset, just off the A31, about half an hour from Southampton, and about 15minutes from Bournemouth..

This has been my company car from new (no other users), and having recently left that job I have purchased it from my employer. She is now surplus to requirements :-( and very very reluctantly I am having to sell her on..

There will be an advert in Autotrader too, and the asking price is £15,250, or very near offer.

If you do a national search on Autotrader using keywords '2004 tdi sport auto', the results as of today (4th April 06) include other examples such £14,995 (54k miles), £15,994 (50k miles), £15,999 (42k miles) and go up to £17,995 (only 18.5k miles!) - I think then that this is a realistic start point for this mileage spec and condition, particularly with fresh (£366) service and £600+ of new rubber!

A bunch more pics below:

Boot floor has neat clip to hold it up to provide access to the spare and tools.. the warning triangle (a new one after some nice person piched the first!) is held in the boot lid..

The little pouch on the left is a neat bag for carrying a spare oil..

Spare wheel with LOADS of tread, also a Goodyear Eagle F1, same as the four others - they are much newer though

Note: The nokia car kit (cradle can be easily swapped for a different handset as you upgrade).. tiptronic gearchange buttons on the steering wheel, up and down function on each side.. Aluminium inserts.. silver rings round dash dials..its a nice easy dash to live with!

Its an engine. its got a big black cover so you cant see anything anyway!!!

My garden needs attention.. actually you can just see the electric lumbar support controls on the side of the drivers seat

Auto-dimming rear view mirror

Airbags in the headlining..

and the sides of the seats..

Nice de-badged rear view - very simple, uncluttered - I like it.. Note the neat little bootlid spoiler..

Meguiars Gold class polish.. How good does that look!

All these pictures were taken today (4th April 2006) and other than blocking out the number plate letters for obvious reasons, they are unedited in any way!

Come and see the car, any inspection is welcome, AA / RAC, whatever.. It is HPI clear too, and has never been involved in any accident.

Any questions just call!
