Thank you a lot for your time you took to make this vid, it really pinpooints the issues in my car. I had until und now, oil pump chain ripped apart, with it turbo failure (at 22000 km) . And now (at 47000 km) oil pump hexagon drive shaft failure. At the Moment i am sceptic about my car, but the issues i had, are exactly the ones you noted, so i kind of feel "safer" now - that ive went through the known problems. So at this point, i ask myself are there any other issues i didnt stumble upon, is there something else i shall know about.

Anybody have any experience with an 2005 A4 Quattro? I’m looking into buying one and was wondering if it’s a good choice.

I have A4 S-line B7 2007 year. For now, I don`t have any issues but I saw the previous owner changed a lot of things, so I don`t plan to keep it up long for myself or the same destiny will wait for me also :). It is 2.0 petrol engine.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a fully loaded 2006 A4 (B7) with the 3.2 FSI. It's only got 70k on it, body and interior are in great shape. Do you think that it will be decently reliable? I'm fine with putting a little bit of money into it but i don't want to spend thousands per year on maintenance. Thanks!

Does the oil strainer issue affect the B7 1.8 and 2.0T or just the B6?

This is shocking to me that no one has mentioned the HUGE flaw in the design of the S4 Series 4.2L V8! The Timing Chain Guides and Cam Sensors go bad around 120K, and the engine has to be removed ( Timing Chain is on the BACK of the Engine ) and serviced, to the tune of about $6000 here in the US. Not to mention the other flaw, in the low-rent-Jetta-quality of the interior switches and controls that flake and rub off very quickly and make the interior look junky. Great work AUDI !! Lastly, for those of your brave enough and with deep pockets to own an AUDI, this is the last Era of Hydraulic Steering, so you don't have that numb, artificial feel of the B8 A4. No thank you. I'll stick to Benz and BMW. There's a good reason my Mechanic calls AUDI "A Volkswagen with options" .

I was thinking of buying b7 2.0 tfsi any suggestions? Opinions?

Does the B7 have an electronic Speedo as well as analong?

I had a 54 plate 2.0T B7, loved it. Wish I never sold it tbf, I liked the simplicity of the car, the ride was like an S class (smooth) and it was quite nippy with 200 horses, looked good as well as it was S line. Overall a very good car. Only downsides would be the mpg and a bit of understeer.

I don't really care about performance since I'm a slow driver and I never get past 110 km/h, which pretty much every engine these days does. Thank you people!

Some things to look for: -check the coolant when the engine is cold, open the coolant reservoir cap and smell the coolant-you should not smell or see oil in the coolant - that can indicate serious problems -the oil and the coolant should be topped up -check the brake fluid as well - it should be bright yellow, if it's dark then it was not changed for a long time -the engine should be really smooth on idle without strange noises -The car should ride smoothly without some vibrations or strange clunking, rattling, squeaking noises from the suspension, it's good to open the windows and listen for these noises at lower speed on bad quality roads -check the paintjob-it should look the same on all the body panels -check the gaps between the body panels they have to be even on both sides -check the screws which are holding the doors-on the door hinges, they have to be intact without damaged paint -and check all the electronics

it is overall a good engine, but because of the direct injection system you should definitely use only high quality fuel and change the oil in the engine after max 10 000 km -it can have sometimes problem with the timing chain, in this case you will hear a rattling noise at cold start The car should ride smoothly whitout some vibrations or strange noises. Also check the paintjob-it should look the same on all the body panels. Don't forget to check the regualar maintance history too. The last things: -change the coolant fluid every 2 years /after buying -change the brake fluid every 2 years /after buying

06 2.0t fwd reliable?

Maintenance is everything. Buying a b6 or b7 is easy because they are cheap but get a full maintenance history if you can. Most Audi owners tend to skip maintenance due to cost after warranty. If you are handy most can be done by yourself but expect headaches in the shop as engine bays are tight requiring removing lots of systems to get to the fix you need. I would say that the 3.0 v6 NA is the most reliable engine but it does not mod well if you are looking to get more HP from it, a tune and exhaust will get some positive results but can't be turboed. The B6/7 cabriolet is a future classic as a 4 seater convertible with great styling and handling.

Hi and thanks for sharing! I have a 2007 A4 3.0L Cabrio. Got her last February with 92,800 miles and she drives as if brand new. The only issue I've had with her was a result of my ignorance when filling her tank the first time after I bought her. Having had only American cars and an obvious issue with muscle memory, I used 87 Octane in her. HUGE MISTAKE!!! Check Engine light went all berserker. The Manual says you 'can' use it, though not recommended. I Totally botched my spark plugs which cost me about $200.00 to replace but that's a price you pay when switching to a German car and not thinking. LOL. Here's what caught me most about her: She's 13 years old and ALL the Options work perfectly! Thanks again for you video! -Mark

Yeah it’s most likely the sensor found in the front right side of the engine. It’s. Cheap fix.

Just bought 2008 A4 b7 s line 90, 000km. Service up to date. What should I be looking for in terms of servicing/ repairs/ replacement? Drives really well and looks sexy and would like to keep it that way if you could advise please.

-change the engine oil+filter every 10 000km /after buying -change the coolant fluid every 2 years /after buying -change the brake fluid every 2 years /after buying -change the engine air filter every 60 000 km Also it's extremely important to let the cold engine warm up-low RPM for the first 15-20 km and just then you can push it really hard. And use only high qality fuel.

I thought the old 1.8 Turbo engine was really reliable but here it lists quite some problems.... I used to have the B5 1.8 engine with 125hp and it was very reliable. Are the B6 and B7 engines so much different?

@differentcarreview-dcr

7 жыл бұрын

well it is reliable if you pay attention to the oil strainer and change the oil regulalry, most of the engines in the B6 are older than in the B7, the B7 has mainly newer diesel engines: 2.0 tdi, 2.7 tdi, 3.0 tdi

I have a 07 2.0tfsi, start stocking up on oil it burns it. 1qt every 4 tanks. Ingot my Audi with 58k on it. I'll go back to older models they're entirely more reliable. This was a slap in the face compared to what I'm use to. After this Audi it will be the last.

78missredrum this is common and can be done by audi under warranty my friend had a new engine put in by audi free, he has an 2008 q5 tfsi. Still follow the service guide after as not all part's were replaced and the timing belt tensioner failed and slipped a tooth on the chain resulting in a big bill that audi would not pay.

12031981gb yea the 2008 audis got the recall. It's crazy because I have the same engine LOL. You have to pay for the test to be conducted to determine if it eats oil. They try to say this is normal, but my 2001 beetle is a 1.8t and hardly eats anything in comparison. I think Audi dropped the ball and it is too costly a fix.

For big city driving the Audi A4 front will drive. Is a much better, maybe in a state or area? With multiple seasons, the quarter is great. Set for the big city at fine front will drive all night as much better.

what about the 1.6 102 HP is it good?any issues on that?thank you already

@differentcarreview-dcr

it is reliable, so you can expect only regular petrol engine issues, only the high mileage cars can have sometimes bigger oil consumption (mainly if the previous owner has not maintained the car properly) however it's not a very powerful engine for this type of a car, but if you don't need that extra power then you can choose it

You should always expect issues buying aged Audi's. The question is if you're willing to fix it yourself and spend big dough doing so. Check out the bigger Audi forums, read up on the model you wish to go for, and spend MANY hours doing it. I had a '97 1.8T B5 and absolutely loved it. B5, B6, and B7's are all amazing, and you will love yours too. And hate it, because you will have problems with them.

@differentcarreview-dcr

Hi It's a good engine, however it all depends on the actual condition of the car/engine. Check mainly the injectors-which can go wrong if the previous owner used bad quality fuel and the timing chain which can be more worn mainly if the car has more than 200 000 km-in this case you can hear rattling noise after cold start. The engine should be smooth on idle and there shouldn't be grey, black or lots of white smoke from the exhaust. The last thing is-be prepared for the maintance costs, so keep some more money for the additional repairs.

I have a b6 with that engine and oil consumption is out of this world. It’s like 1l/800-1k km. I don’t know why it this happens and I also noticed that it’s les during winter time. It’s annoying and frustrating,besides that the car runs fine. I think it’s some sort of factory issue with the piston rings.
