Seeing as their are several project threads, here is mine.

This is a small thread about my recently acquired 2004 pre facelift D3 3.7 Quattro.

As well as the standard kit, mine also has the following.

Solar Sunroof
Bose surround sound
Audi fixed phone in armrest, with sim card slot
4 zone climate control
Analogue TV
Electric boot open/close
ACC cruise control with widescreen DIS
Keyless go/entry with fingerprint reader
Comfort seats with driver/passenger memory
Rear seats with lumbar adjustment
Front/rear parking sensors
19" wheels

Now the bad bits.

Upon scanning with VCDS there were a lot of fault codes, however the car had been standing for a long time. The dealer has had the car for 12 weeks, he was waiting for the cherished plate to be transferred from the car before he sold it. The faults appeared to relate to low battery.

The exhaust has a slight blow from one of its joints, nothing serious (I hope) and did not cause the car to fail its MOT in August. The same advisory was on the previous MOT in 2011, so it seems to not be getting worse.

4 tyres need replacing,

Moving on, in the 2 months since getting the car a number of issues became apparent. I'll list these along with their current state in the next post.
