Australian Audi's

[Sean Red T]

its been decided when all visa finalised car is coming with us. £1500 to send. car has to be fully cleaned just before delivery this end. To remove any contaminates? $2500 to go through customes and all paperwork at your end. It should take 5 weeks they say in all from start to finish. would send before me leaving uk to pick up once landed (hopefully). anyway thats an update. Time scale not shore, possible job offer so could be matter of weeks, or longer if i wait for normal visa.

I know a few people who have brought Audis over from the UK and they ALL (no exceptions!) regret doing it because of all the hoops you have to jump through.

There are no mechanical differences between the Sline and normal 110/120kw 1.8t (I think from memory the throttle body was a slightly different design, but made negligible difference). I'd suggest you buy a 'normal' quattro 1.8t and get it chipped/flashed (where they make more than your 190bhp anyway, more like 220bhp) IIRC, all the quattro 1.8ts here have sports suspension and sports options.

The ONLY reason to bring your car over, is if you are dead set on its colour or you have a very good condition example with a perfect (or better than perfect - overdone) service history.

Cheers,
Dave

ive owned from new, no expense spared well looked after. very low miles. Dont intend selling it for a good while. i hear what you are saying but its not the speed that bothers me, i have looked at loads of car sales in oz and have not found one s.line quattro with the same level of extras(see previous threads) as mine.cant even find same wheels, it seems the spec is very different for some reason from one country to another. thanks

Sean welcome to the forum. I'm originally from Cardiff but brought my golf from the UK five years ago. TBH if you can afford it do it. Import tax was more when I brought mine...

just for info sake; kilowatt, horse power, metric horsepower:

1 kw = 1.34hp = 1.36 ps

eg 206kw = 276hp = 280ps

and your 190 hp = 141 kw = 187 ps... (120kw= 160hp)
