I just bought my "dream car" from private seller. I thought so.... Straight away sorry for my bad English, i just learning it. I bought Audi a4 b6 convertible 2005 for very nice price. I found some issues in it... heater wont work (thought it is just a thermostat issue) and a climate control windscreen heating switch wont work (issue with motor) and with boot sensor problem. With thermostat issue i tough i will have to spend about 200-300 pounds and that's it and I have my "dream car" nice and smooth in my garage. NO! Problems started when I tried to resolve my problems with thermostat. I bough a genuine thermostat from eurocarparts and gave it to local garage to replace it. After 2-3 hours I received a call from garage with bad news. And here is some pictures what's wrong... As you see on old part have been taken out thermostat from pipes and a sensor installed incorrectly to give a way to oxigen to go out from cooling system without overheating. This work have been done specially to hide dead head or dead head gasket to sell this car. I think it is fraud and I will make a report to police and citizen advice about this seller if seller will not accept full repair or full refund. Be aware when you buying a car with not working heater because it is impassible to spot this head or head gaskit problem without thermostat remove.
