Picked it up today! Dead pleased with it. First plans are change the Engine oil/filter, Haldex oil/filter, and also the coolant.

I am going to try very hard to not modify it in any way









The seats are soooo comfy

I'm still getting used to driving a slightly higher car, I keep going through soham and slowing down into second gear over speed humps when i could do them in 3rd

By the way anybody know much about the Haldex awd system? looking through the history the oil & filter on it has only been changed once in the past but VAG recommend every 20K.. im going to get it changed as soon as but just wondering if anyones heard of problems with the haldex caused through lack of servicing??

Oil every 20K and filter every 40K.

Only used to see ECU problems when I worked at Audi.
