        Dont worry the 3B wheels are prone to corrosion under the polished faces and are less roomy behind for big brakes, and the later ellipsoid headlights are more sought after, and worth about 1/3 of what you payed for the car. So i would say that those upgrades are a good thing!

          happy xmas and new year then!! :@)

          had to laught at the last few comments about fuel!!....its not too bad I did a run to Micheal woods services and back on half a tank strictly keeping to 60(ish)...120 in places but it works out just short of 300 miles, its not so kind on fuel around town but cost less that my focus to do the run to glocester and back.....and the insurance is imensly cheap too, half of the focus,

          Thanks for all the comments guys I wasn't too sure if I had bought a dog of a car.....can anyone tell me what the big black thing shaped like a cannon ball type of bomb thing is just beside the engine underneath as it seems to be leaking...not too sure if its steering/brake fluid......and where the fecking hell can I source a maintenance manual for it.....I called bently this morning and thought I had been given false details as they didn't know what I was talking about...they just told me to contact Audi lmao

              £550. Absolute Bargain, even if it costs you another grand to get it upto scratch.

                Check which area is leaking as it could be a pipe and not the unit at self, though overtime these things can happen, I recently replaced mine (ABY unit which is different to 3B), replacement is fairly easy and any mechanic can get it done .

                Recommended to use the correct Hydraulc PAS Fluid for the system which is G00400 Audi fluid, don't use anything else

                    haha

                    3B-B3 ........you get my drift !!

                    the leak does seem to be coming from the top of the bomb!!! could be a loose pipe so taking it back down to the garage in a bit...the brakes do need sorting out the abs is very rough

                      B3 is a different car...

                      Fuel economy is something for other cars. Best ever is 29.5mpg, worst is about 7
