2008 A4 : pre-purchase inspection

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Another point : are these 2.0t prone to the sludge problem ? 
The car is only 44k and regular oil changes were done at the dealer during
the first 3 years, so I guess it'll be fine.

BTW, I've seen it again yesterday and the tires are Jinyu YU61. About 1/3
the price of the Michelin PS2 that were OE on this car... Let's see if they
are worth any good.
