Audi A4 Avant 1.8 turbo 140 kW M6, 2003, Vantaa

What a blast — and loud! Like a shockwave, this 2003 Audi A4 with a 1.8-litre engine and 190 horsepower (140 kW) has arrived at the LänsiAuto Vantaa yard. This car is known as the "Red T", meaning it’s the more powerful version. It also left the factory with the rarer 3-spoke steering wheel.

This example is a Finnish car and comes from its third owner. The previous owner had it for an impressive 18 years and says the car was stored in a heated garage in winters. The service history is in order and stamps are in the service book. The most recent service was a timing-belt change in 2024. Summer and winter tyres are also in good condition, so you don’t need tyres immediately. The summer alloys are truly lovely!

The only downside is that the engine warning light is on and at idle the engine tends to raise revs slightly in a steady rhythm. Naturally there are small signs of wear consistent with the car’s age, shown clearly in the pictures.
