For me the B5 is a well built car, and in some respects they are much the same as the B4. They used similar engines like the 1.8 ADR, the biggest change was the front and rear suspension, and the pinch bolt of hell was added!
I've had one since 1998 and don't see me ever selling it.

So, thanks to Newsh and his neighbour Yann for sending this my way.
I've made an initial assessment and it quite good body wise for age and mileage. Nice spec with half leather Quattro script seats.
The main issue is the engine. I haven't actually heard it as I don't want to run it until I've looked inside but apparently sounds like a bag of nails and oil light is flickering. Plan is to drop the sump and clean the pick up plus inspect the bottom end. Then remove the rocker cover and have a poke around in there. The timing chain tensioner might be making all the noise. We will see. Pics to follow as usual.Nothelle S2 Avant

Last time I heard it run it sounded like a diesel, actually if you've seen the film 4 Lions, it sounded like that car. It now has a skreech which could be the serpentine belt idled seized.

Done lots of reading on this. Oil starvation caused by blocked strainer causes hydraulic tensioner to fail, causes loose chain and noise plus rough running
