Audi A8 Sold, replaced with A4 Cabrio.
Today I said goodbye to my D3 A8, having owned it since 2013, I also said goodbye to the Volvo S60, which had 199K on the clock.
So what do I have now..., just one car 2004 Audi A4 Cabriolet 1.8T Sport manual with 89K miles on the clock. Silver with red leather interior. The car is in fantastic cosmetic condition, and drives really well. However, there is no radio reception and by the smell of things an oil leak. Radio reception seems to be a common fault where the antenna cables pass from boot into cabin. I've not even looked at where oil maybe coming from yet, I have driven it 30 miles so far. I am aware of the oil pickup strainer issues, so that is on my hit list as preventative maintenance.

I had a chance to take a better look at the car last night.
Engine bay is pretty dirty and in serious need of a clean, missing it's undertray and the plenum cover is also missing. Not worried about the latter because at least you can see when the drains get blocked. I found a receipt with a lot of parts listed, from within the last 800 miles for fixing both a coolant and oil leak which were advisories on the last MOT. I hope the oil smell is residual oil on the block or something else. Rest of the car is spotless, will need a couple of tyres soon.
