Prospective Allroad Purchase

[VA_S3]

Hi all,

I've been looking to add a wagon to my fleet recently. Brown interior is the main requirement, so it's making it a little more challenging.

I found one that checks a lot of boxes. As it seems like with many, this came from ME/MA. 65k miles. Actually held up a bit better than expected. Bolts can be replaced and the rest should respond well to a wool wax type.

My question is, any common causes for what looks like a stained/wet area around the rear tub heat shield?


Sorry I've spent 5 mins trying to figure out how to rotate the photo thats fine in iPhoto...audizine in 2003 still.

Look inside around spare wheel make sure no oil or water. If its oil only on outside, check rear diff it could be laking
