A4 Avant 1.8 Turbo

[Porty]

Hi Folks looking for a bit of advice. Going to look at a 2004 A4 Avant 1.8 T S Line FSH with 90 k it has a new turbo fitted. I hope that's not a sign of abuse? The car looks clean I looking to see if there any thing you can advise me to look out for?

Thanks Graham

Hi Graham...welcome to the Forum

I suppose it's like any car really, if it's been looked after then it will generally be a good car.

The turbo could have been replaced as a false diagnosis, tends to happen a lot if someone ran it hot on motorways and then switched off without letting the oil circulate and cool down the turbo and bearings.

Hope your purchase goes well and let us know how you get on with it
