Howdy,
The car is probably going to WeBuyCars in the next few days, but I thought I'd prod here for interest so long. If I can avoid making them rich, I will.
Make/Brand: Audi A1 1.6TDI Sportback Ambition Manual
Color: White
Year: 2014
Odometer reading: 161000
Warranty: Innovation until November 2025 (Unlimited KM)
Service history: Full and up to date
Condition: Great, read further below.
Extras: Car is pretty kitted. Doesn't have NAV, but has pretty much everything else except sunroof.
Location: Centurion
Delivery available: Nope
Price/including fees: Nope
Any major accidents etc: Nope
Pics: Will post tomorrow.
Reason: Bought a Tiguan, don't need this anymore.
So at 135000km I had the injectors reconditioned as the car developed a slight 'wobble' (for lack of a better word) for a few minutes after cold starts. Turns out this was never the issue and the DPF was to blame. On 137,000km-ish I had the DPF removed and software was done (requirement for DPF delete). At 150,000km the turbo went, replaced it with a new one. Haven't had any issues since then apart from a little smokiness under hard acceleration, but this is to be expected with no DPF. Also, the automatic start/stop hasn't worked since the software.
Fuel economy is insane, 120km/h with cruise control on sees you getting over 30km/l. We get 800km+ on a 45L take every month. I would feel comfortable driving it from JHB to Beaufort West on a single tank. At highway speeds the economy is madness.
Other than that, the car is in great conditions. Seats and dash have no obvious signs of wear, no tears, no blemishes nothing. Few stone chips here and there, no large scuffs or scratches anywhere. Cambelt and water pump was done at 120,000km.
Will post pics after it's had a wash, but thought I'd post so long and see if there's any interest from Carbies. Thinking around the R120k mark, negotiable for you, but not for anyone else.
TIA
FYI
