New Audi owner
Hi group,
As I have just bought a 1996 UK model A6 1.8 T, I wondered if anyone could supply me with any details of this model. It looks really nice, 60,000 miles, 2 owners, beautiful condition. Just trying to find out HP rating, mph, and mpg. Many thanks, and sorry for the boring post. Nev |

Thought the 1.8T only came out in 97 ? If it is one it has 150 BHP, I used
to get about 30mpg from mine, 99 T and ran it to 120000 miles in four years with few problems. I now have a 98 S Avant and get a similar mileage Regards Richard "Nev Arthur" > wrote in message ... > Hi group, > As I have just bought a 1996 UK model A6 1.8 T, I wondered if anyone could > supply me with any details of this model.

Of course, the 1.8T was available in the A4 in 1996. The 1.8T of that era was 150bhp. > If it is one it has 150 BHP, I used to get about 30mpg from mine, 99 T > and ran it to 120000 miles in four years with few problems.

The Parkers website was why I got confused in the first place actually, as I could not find a reference to a 1.8 T, as there were no model numbers that seemed to correspond to that exactly. It's looking like I bought a turbo, which is why I really think I should do my research a bit better, as I had no idea of that. Still, I am quite pleased, as I was a bit concerned a 1.8 engine would struggle in that size body shell. Nev |

The car may well be a 97, I just assumed it was the older of the two years it could have been with a P plate. 30 mpg sounds fair enough for that power rating, and as someone who did not previously fancy an Audi, I'm well on the way to being a bit of a fan, it looks fantastic. I'm just getting rid of a 190E Mercedes with 190,000 so if the Audi can approach those sort of miles I shall be pleased! Nev |

This is a link to the advert I bought it from, and it was quite clearly labelled a 1.8T. http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW...00506181031546 Also, it's definitely an A6, as I'm not keen on the shape of the A4. Thanks guys. Nev |

When you get the registration document, it'll tell you when exactly the car was first registered. If it's not too personal a question, how much did you pay for it? I recently bought a 1996 Audi A6 V6 2.6 for 1750 quid. |

Looking at the ad the car picture shows a P reg plate but the ad says 1998.
This is quite possible if you have a "personalised plate" so you may well have a 1998 A6 1.8T, the 1.8T was first available only with 97 R reg. Note for this car there was a recent recall regarding early wear on the front suspension arms (had them changed on both my A6s) I note from the dealer notes you might also be in East Kent ? If you are looking for an independent Audi/VW specialist I have used M & S Auto Services in Biddenden www.m.s.autoservices.co.uk as they are much less expensive than my local dealer.
