Which engine derivative I wonder?

I think it was a 1.4. TDI.

Never reversed out my drive so easily before

EDIT : Seems they have finally fixed all the k@k with my car. Can't find a single issue now.
They had to order some parts in from Germany, and the A5 went in today to have them fitted.
She was squeaky clean when I collected her. Well done Audi Airport.

Had an A1 demo for the day today. Not a bad little car.
Quite zooty. And tank hardly dropped. Flipping thing runs in fumes.

They gave me one for a few days as well - brand new!

It is zippy! Once I got over the fact that it was a little girly, I ended up enjoying the car

Those DTMs are really hard to find and therefore keep their resale values really well

OK, so that DTM is production version of the racing spec A4?

Technical details
Like all DTM racing cars, the A4 DTM resembles its A4 production equivalent only in cosmetic appearance. The A4 DTM is constructed with a CFK - monocoque chassis and an integrated 15.4-imperial-gallon fuel tank. The A4 DTM is powered by a 4,000 cc (4.0 L; 244.1 cu in) Audi naturally-aspirated V8 engine, with a power output of approximately 460 hp (343 kW; 466 PS) and a maximum torque pof more than 500 N·m (370 ft·lbf). The rear-wheel drive A4 DTM also has a sequential 6-speed sports transmission, a 3-plate carbon fiber clutch supplied by Sandtler GmbH|Sandtler (2004-2010) and ZF (2011), and an adjustable multi-disc limited-slip differential.

Production A4 DTM Edition
To celebrate its first DTM championship title, Audi released a production DTM variant of the A4 model from 2005 to 2007. [2] It featured 20 extra horsepower over the standard model, additional sport exterior features, and a new Quattro all-wheel-drive system.[2]

Yes, ours aren't Quattro though.

Just protecting that which stole my heart.

 

[Mark A]

Does anyone know of an RMI approved mechanic in the Durban area that is affordable and could service my Audi?

Oh, wait so you didn't buy it, you were just lusting after it?

 

[PostmanPot]

I'm in the process of buying it.

Right, quick question. Have any of you ever bought a car in a different province? How does it work? I see on Carfind/Audi pre-owned a lot of the guys offer nation-wide delivery, but I'm curious as to the process? Surely Audi Cape Town won't buy the car from Audi Airport and then you buy it from Cape Town? Some nice deals to be had, but I don't want to buy something I haven't seen or test driven. And there's the matter of the trade-in...
