Hello, I am on the lookout for an B5 A4 2.8 quattro is anyone selling one? Or know of someone? many thanks

Unless it was selected at options level the Phone tray does not have wireless charging, it will amplify GSM signal so worth keeping phone there on all counts of legality and practicality. I am surprised you do not have 2 x USB and a 3.5mm Jack point in centre console too. Does it have the SD cards and SIM slot in MMI facia in dash? Between my iPhone the SD Cards and a USB flash drive I have all the music I can eat. The Command button on the steering wheel initiates the voice commands. I use one USB socket in centre console to charge phone.

Looks a nice spec 🙂

That was the only diesel option. Petrol engines in the mk2 were a 1.8tfsi or a 2.0tfsi. I'd avoid the 2.0 as it has nothing but issues in the a5 etc. And if it goes wrong you might find it hard to find someone who will work on it. I speak from personal experience, my mate struggled to find someone to put a new timing chain on her a5. I think the diesel is the best option personally.

I agree with most of the above. What you forget to say is the the Stupid Wheels come also with Stupid firm and lowered Suspension. Yes, my second-hand A6 Avant SE came with 20" alloys which thumped loudly over poor surfaces. I couldn't wait to get a nice set of 17" wheels and 55 section tyres on it. The big wheels I will keep because they will add hugely to the desirability/resale value at trade-in time. My mind is boggled by the number of people who use their cars as an art form. I admit that some of the lowered cars look amazing, but I do wonder how practical they are. The Germans have got it right. They buy a base car and everything is an extra.

I wish you luck with it Moog and Lemforder are both excellent brands with a reputation for durability as they only use high shore rubber, with regard to the ban I can see where you are coming from, I have not been banned by the missus yet but my body is doing it for her as after changing my front brakes disc/pads last week I was as stiff as a skinheads boot for about two days after.
