Default Potential buy Audi A8 3.0 tdi 2006 thoughts

Evening. I drove the above the other day and was a little concerned or maybe its the charactersistics of the vehicle? when steering at a lower speed it becomes a bit harder where as a drive on the dual carriageway the steering is lighter. Is this how the steering is supposed to behave?

Secondly the car is a 2006 would the vehicle have dpf?, a vin check shows its Emission standard, EU4, DPF preparation. No idea what this means?

Lastly there is no evidence of the injectors being replaced, the vehicle has covered over 150k so i presume it didnt have the faulty batch installed?

2006 Would have a DPF

Not sure on the injectors, but if it's 150k without an issue, then I'd imagine they'd go for a while longer.

The steering sounds about right assuming that when it gets 'a bit harder', it'e still pretty easy to turn,
