It still runs like a charm. I've put 295,000 km on it. No major problems, a couple of sensors, coil pack once after several years. Other than that regular maintenance at a trusted independent garage. I get 32+mpg on motorway (7.5l/100km). The problem with diesel is the fun stops at 4.5k rpms and the engine noise is not great. In a petrol engine, the fun starts at 4.5k rpm as you know 😂😂😂.

I door that wouldn't open on an A8 and EGR valve and DPF on A6. Considering in total I have spent more than twenty years owning Audis (Had a couple of Mercs and a Volvo in between) they have worked out pretty cheep per year.

Bought a 2014 Audi A6 TDI with 30k miles, a few years back. I've put 40k miles and never had a single issue with the car. These diesel engines are extremely solid. The only issue that could come up would be the DPF(diesel particle filter), which by the way is covered under the emission warranty up to 8 yrs from msrp or 100k miles. Not to mention the performance/ efficiency aspect of them. 38 mpg freeway, around 30 mpg combined. And people, these engines have 428 ft/lbs of torque at 1750 rpm. Again, 428 ft/lbs, just think about it. It pulls extremely satisfying without revving hard. 0-60 mph in 5.5s. And at the end of the day you look at the mpg and it's 30. Another aspect to consider is the quality of the interior of these cars, the materials used and the German craftsmanship. Interior space is amazing. So Scotty, I don't appreciate your input, you're not 100% on the money with this car. Overall this is an amazing piece of engineering. My A6 TDI was one of the best cars I ever had.

The VAG 1.9TDI PD diesel engine (especially the 130 horsepower variant) is known here in the uk for being extremely reliable and economic. It sounds like an agricultural vehicle is coming down the road when one goes by but I average 45mpg combined in a 2003 Passat wagon with this engine. Mine has 155k miles on the clock and runs without issue. As long as the oil is changed every 10k with the correct PD oil (the camshaft actually operates pump injectors) they are known to run for more than 300k miles without needing major work.

130 horsepower? Is that a lawn mower? Lol just kidding buddy. That kind of car would never work here in Canada it would never start in the winter. I got a 2003 ford f 150 v8 5.4 litre gas got 520000km I do a oil change every 100k km or when I remember which is about every 4 or 5 years, just gas in and it always starts even when it’s -40°c I just drive it for work, everyone over here prefers a nice suv or a pickup truck to the point where most manufacturers stopped Selling sedans. And you can’t buy a diesel since 2015 except those massive v8 pickups like the dodge 2500 with a 6.7 Cummins diesel. No one wants them because not every gas station sells diesel and it’s hard to find parts and mechanics that know how to work on diesels. And in the winter they just won’t start specially if they got a small Engine Like a 2 litre or 2.5 . Well oin the end European vehicles are good for Europe, and North American vehicles are good for North America. You will never see a Renault in North America the same way you won’t see a ram 5500 in Europe.

Many years ago I was at a highway service / fuel area and someone had dumped a bunch of diesel fuel on the concrete ramp back down to the Interstate. It was worse than driving on ice. The car in front of me turned a slow-motion 270 degree near-circle; my company vehicle only slid off the side and banged into the guard rail.

Nice to have a friend who is a mechanic. My son is not a mechanic but he is handy with his hands and works on his truck for everything except major stuff like transmission or differential or engine rebuilds. Saves me a lot of money all it costs me is coffee or tools that I buy and give to him.

@@diogovieira3362 That's a question for VW. Almost without exception, any component for the TDI engine was more expensive to procure and to service at a VW dealership than the common 2.0 liter non-turbo gasoline engine at the time. Any TDI owner can attest to that. Even oil and filter changes had a higher charge. That's why so many of us did basic stuff on our own or sought the help of fellow TDI owners who enjoyed wrenching for a much more reasonable fee. In addition, independent mechanics almost all shied away from such a specialized, rarely-seen engine like a VW diesel. Drivers who were reliant on VW dealership service saw fuel savings eventually wiped out due to higher cost of parts and higher cost of service for the diesel engines. It is the hidden detriment to diesel ownership, at least in the US. And I liked my 10 years with my TDI. But for the most part, diesel ownership is not for the everyday driver.

Happy Memorial Day weekend Scotty...Love to have that diesel engine Audi

Idk about Audis in the US, but here in EU they are quite common. I live in Eastern Europe, so we mostly drive older cars overall (poorer countries). I always thought buying an old Audi would be a financial suicide due to repair costs. This however is not the case - I did some research and bought a very well maintained A6 4F 3.0 TFSI at 170K Km (105K miles). The parts for it are almost on par with my old Ford Mondeo 2.0, which was quite the amazement for me. That being said however - all mechanics charge a lot for working on such cars mostly because a lot of the parts are hard to access. There are also a lot of plastic covers that need to be removed and on older cars those tend to break quite easily. Additionally, as Scotty mentioned - you need a good scan tool for literally everything on these cars. I replaced the rear discs and pads on mine recently - I had to use VAG-COM to fully retract the electric parking brake bolts so that I could retract the pistons. After I was done, I had to run a calibration of the parking brake in order for it to be functional again. The same goes for many other components - I replaced a solenoid and serviced my transmission some time ago. As a result I had to reset its adaptation records and had to drive a certain way (like a granny) for nearly 100Km (~60miles). Another common and really expensive repair on high-mileage Audis (v6 and v8 variants specifically) is the replacement of the timing chains and tensioners. The tensioners tend to lose oil pressure and the chains rattle at cold start until oil pressure builds up. If this becomes too severe the chains can skip one or more teeth and potentially ruin your engine. That can happen on a lot of cars, but what is special for these engines is that the timing gear is on the transmission side. Effectively you have to disassemble the front end, drop the tranny, pull out the engine and then you can replace what you need. I suppose it would be too effing easy to put that behind the cover on the serpentine belt side... Sorry for ranting.

He's right about the VW/Audi 2.0Ts. I've owned two VAG cars with a 2.0T 07 GTI and '10 A4. Both were nightmares to own. Check engine lights left and right and the A4 timing chain tensioner broke and almost toasted the whole engine. Luckily the chain only jumped two teeth and didn't bend any valves so I was able to replace the timing chain and drive it another two years before I sold it but still. Since then and now all the Audis I've owned have the 3.0 Supercharged V6. Phenomenal engine. Great power and aftermarket support and very very reliable by VW/Audi standards.

over here in Europe have a 2009 VW TDI engine with 180k miles with 700 miles range on a full tank. still going strong

@@des1458 I love my 2021 VW GTI Taco edition. Actually very well put together compared to the crap from Detroit.

The reason why they're way more popular in Europe is because it's considered as a reliable car, i mean the standard in America for high mileage is extremely high compared to Europe, here 180 000km+ (110 000 miles) is considered a lot while in America, some cars can go easily over 200k-300k miles (320 000 - 480 000km). While german cars are considered junk in America, in Europe people say they're the most reliable ones ..

Man this thing can go 409,000km no problem. In Europe we don't drive that much.

@@dragospahontu That's what he is saying. For example, a 500 miles in most states is nothing. I know people that drives 75 miles one way to work daily. There is cars 2019 for sale with over 100,000 already.

I currently own a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro with a little over 156k miles on it, it is my daily driver. The only issue I have ever had with it is that the cooling fan controller failed. That's it. It runs perfectly and still going strong. I might soon trade it in for a newer A4 with all the added creature comforts such as Bluetooth, navigation, etc. I have gained tremendous confidence in these vehicles. And the fact that it is an AWD is a huge bonus as I live up in the New Mexico mountains and we get a lot of snow and icy roads.

Bought a used A7 Tdi prestige in 2019 for 35k. I change the fuel filter every 10k and change the oil with Liqui Moli synthetic every 5k, along with a can of LM Cerratec every year. She's never given me any problems and has 86k on her, and the 700mile tank is also amazing.
