Only downside is trying to find an AGU without spaceship miles,  nothing worse than taking a 130k car, and then shoving an extra 100 odd hp through it,  i know this could be said for AUM and AUQ's  but chances are youd find an AUM or AUQ with lower miles,  plus youve got 6 speed on the AUQ ,     probably wrong but just my take on it

True cully!    just avoid the ones on ebay where they have lovely round figures, alot are around "77,675"   genuine miles,    but i forgot to take a reading before it came out of the car ...........yeh sure ........lets assume thats a 177,000 miler then!
