Re: Should I Buy?



Interesting; I have 110,000 miles on my Coupe and it has always been 
extremely smooth; haven't noticed this hesitation.

Biggest thing I would watch for is the bomb (brake pressure accumulator);
with the engine idling, pump the brakes about 20-25 times quickly.  
If the warning light comes on, the bomb is probably bad.  Better check is 
to start the car after it has been off for several hours; light should not
com on if bomb OK, but a person could have started it for a minute 
shortly before you came to look at it and repressurized the bomb.

 All the 90q20vs I've driven have had a hesitation between 3K and 4K RPM
 during acceleration.  It doesn't bother my wife, but it was most of the
 reason I decided to buy a new A4.  Make sure the diff lock works.
 
 Enjoy,
