DSG is more fun but as bad as Nissan CVT in terms of historic reliability. People needs basic transportation just like 1 gear EV cars like ID3 with practically a CVT.

I have a b7 1.8t when i come to a stop after the car have been warmed up white smoke comes out what could be the problem?

I got a 2007 A4 Quattro 2.0T from IAA in April for 500$. All it needed was a rear bumper cover. While MF'ers were buying toilet paper, I was buying an Audi on the cheap...

In my country you can do the same purchase for 500$ only if a "rear bumper cover" means the audi a4 2007 2.0T itself, because 500$ is a price of rear bumper here.

Wow, you did an amazing job filming this inspection! Really professional even with the rotor bolt snapped... You are the proof that even the best make mistakes! Love it🍿

Best car channel. I love all Audis. This dude good at explaining in details.

Please keep the video coming on this b7 a4 love it

Another great video, love the work you guys do. I have used your videos to help me with maintainence , diagnostics and repairs to my own 2007 A4 2.0tfsi a load of times. Thank you. One thing not mentioned in this video though, was the cam chain and tensioner. I'm curious to know if these are something to watch out for? Ive heard some stories of the tensioners failing, but have also read that there's no change interval providing the engine is serviced properly with correct oil. Is the chain and tensioner something I should consider replacing at some point? Car currently has just over 113k miles on it. Any input would be really appreciated 🤙🏻

Loved my B6.. was a great car. Awesome to show the mistakes too - I would have probably done the same lol. So axle and mounts? Sounds like a pretty sweet deal! I've spent more for less in the past

This video came at the perfect time. I've been looking to buy one such Audi (as my first car) for a few months & this video is quite informative in terms of what to look for upon purchase. Great content as usual!

Squared Donut Don’t. I had an 08 A4 6spd auto in pretty good condition. I didn’t have too many problems but consumables like brakes are expensive. (At least if its your first car) My control arms were warn as well as the leaky mounts as shown in the video. You’ll be spending way more than its worth in repairs. My car was a late model so it even had the revisions done for a lot of trouble spots. Toyota is your friend. Stack some bread and get a well sorted B8 A4 as your second car if you really want to ride german. Just make sure to put aside a few thousand for that too.

I bought the 2015 Audi A4 Quattro as my first car last year with 51k miles and only one owner. The history record for the 2015 A4 is spotless and very reliable with barley any issues. If you do consider Audi as a first car please take your time and do as much research as possible on the history record for repair cost and how much it cost to maintain. Im very happy with my A4 as it was exactly what I was trying to look for in an Audi since I couldn't afford the A7. Lol

@Kris Nicholson I don't think that's true. Once the hardware is installed and mechanically working, and you have the new trans wired correctly, the software side of things is fixable. I know for a fact that on the MQB platform, the ECUs have the same hardware and software part numbers, regardless of transmission. Swapping the trans is as simple as changing the correct bits in the ECU and other module's long coding, and removing that auto trans from the Gateway Installation List on the CAN gateway. This is an older car, so it may be different than the MQB platform, but I can't imagine requiring an ECU replacement for a transmission swap. Worst case, maybe flashing the ECU to a different software version with ODIS Engineering or something but again, not impossible or too costly. If it really needed a different ECU, it can still be swapped with a cheap used junkyard one and adapted with ODIS Service. DAP could do it if they wanted to...

Let's see an update. Love this platform. In addition to the things you mentioned, balance shafts can seize so there's a massive write up on that. Parts list to convert to 1.8 oil system is more than a new motor. Accusump is very highly recommended to save it. I'd love to see an install video of that is you choose to do it.

Just got my first Audi, 06 2.0t 6spd. Needed a head gasket and timing chain tensioner nothing else. What a BEAST! 1000$ Basically brand new not even a rock chip 😝 if you see one for less than 2k baby jump on it. Quattro = savage grip.

What mileage?

Bought a silver s line qm California car. Worked on at 034 Motorsport. Has their high flow cat, all the street density mounts, Unitronic stg1 tune and a eibach koni cup kit. $5300 June of 2019 with 138k on it and receipts in the glove box that total more than I paid for it. Super clean with only a small dent on the hood. Could eat out of the engine bay. Now with 143k on it a couple of scratches, evap leak, oil filter housing leak and antifreeze leak near the turbo somewhere. Never over 4k rpm and still this BS. So mad cause my go fast money now has to go into maintenance. Oh well, I still love the car. Always get asked how I kept it so clean. All credit goes to the previous owner.

Sweet! Where can I get one? Includes free fault codes...

I wish you would have inspected the CVT mounts. I'm having trouble finding info about the transaxle mounts.

Can you please do a video of the common coolant leak because i have that in my car ?

Hi , need an advice please, i change the oil in the gearbox..audi a4 b8 2013 -2L diesel…i forgot to replace the filter….is very important to put the new one in?

I have this same exact car other then mine is white. I spun a bearing on the crank and it is pretty much done. I’m gonna replace the engine but now I’m wondering what it would take to do a manual swap. The bad part is my CVT transmission has no problems so far and the car has 136,000 miles on it

Ohhhhh ! I thought cvt meant constant vicious troubles ,ty for vid

I have the same car with the most recent theft deterrent system available... a 6 speed transmission.

I had the same issue with my front snub mount. Bits felt like mattress foam was sprinkled up in there :/

LOL it happens brother great video!!!

CVT on mine. Love it. Stage 2 for 4 years, no dramas. Changed fluid 3 times. Kept servicing and didn't slam it off from a stop. Still great. Most people who say they hate the CVT haven't driven one. WAY faster, smoother, and simply a pleasure to drive. Now, they're cheap to replace and rebuild, or, as only the CVT engine will allow, a manual swap with the GVE.

I think I drove like 40,000 miles over when my timing belt was due.. Wasn’t trying to prove anything, just worked a lot , now my B7 A4 has almost 230,000 (daily driven) finally replaced the oem turbo and upgraded the clutch ..

The b7 is my favourite . I much prefer the manual transmission. I have a 2006 v6 deisel that i juat got my hands on and its a great car

"You might have just broke this car," is where I laughed out loud.

I have the same year count. I've done a laundry list of repairs on this vehicle. I have the 2.0t Quattro. I love this car. I do have one problem i can't seem to get rid of. And that is uneven idle and acceleration. I've done, coils, plugs, air filter, mass air flow, map sensor, vacuum pump, coolant flange, timing belt, turbo, pvc, and lastly regular oil and coolant changes. It doesn't struggle to stay on. It bounces back and forth about 100 rpm when cold and as i begin the morning. I warm up all my cars in the morning and this one is no exception. The problem persists for about an hour then goes away. Any ideas?

Do these 2.0 TFSI engines have any problem with the oil pump? (the oil pump balance shaft hex key is too weak) Or is it just the 2.0 diesel's weakpoint? I have a similar condition B7 2.0 TDI manual with 296.000 km (184k miles) and I have already had it repaired preemptivly. I want is to reach 500.000 km. :) BTW I'd love to see that manual conversion in a video.

Is it normal for these engines to gie a purring sound as they idle, if not would replacing the plugs and wires fix this issue?

I broke one of those rotor set screws on a mk4 golf running down the axle nut with an impact with no wheel lugs installed 😅
