2.73 or 3.15?
A friend of mine is looking at purchasing a particular '98 A4 C5 coupe. The current owner doesn't know if it has 2.73s or 3.15s. Is there a way to tell without driving it, like by using the VIN or something?
I tried a search but didn't come up with anything, so sorry if this is a major repost.
Thanks,
Kris

Look at the options sticker on the glove compartment door.
GU2 is 2.73 and G92 is 3.15.
Not sure if in 98 it will show GU2 (I know it does in later years), but if it has the performance axle it will show G92.

Since it's a 98, isn't the code list in the trunk???
BTW if it is a 2.73, he likes the car, & it is a good deal...there are plenty of used 3.15's around...he can always upgrade.

Thanks for the help. I will have him call the owner and ask about the G92 code in the glovebox.
It's a very nice silver coupe, 73k miles on it, it has Bose and a clear roof, new tires, it's all stock, etc. Does $18,500 sound like a reasonable deal?
