    I had an 07 Audi A4 and it was a constant disappointment in terms of reliability. Lots of recalls, electrical issues and a problematic turbo. At just over 50K miles, the turbo failed completely--a $4,000 repair. From an engineering standpoint, there's no excuse for this. The 2.0 turbo has been around forever. You'd think that, by now, Audi/VW would have this engine sorted out. The fact that you have to tell consumers about all the problems Audi owners face is unfortunate. BTW, your video is very thorough.

The young age and high miles means it was mainly a highway driver, no concern for stop-n-go wear. Very comfortable car and easy stick (not super sporty like a GTI, which is my main ride). Spasiba!

    More than 2,5 years ago I watched this great informative video and bought a 2014 Audi A4 2.0 TDI (177 ps), with multitronic and with 210.000km. As the timing belt needs to be replaced at 210.000 km, I directly did this and also changed the oil in the transmission. (About €800,- total iirc) Now, I'm 2,5 years further and it has 270.000 km. I replace the engine oil every 15.000 km and use Forte diesel treatment (€20 per bottle) once in a while. I had no issues so far with this car, it turns out to be very reliable! No engine issues, no multitronic issues (that's my biggest fear though, looking at the complexity) and no electronic issues! :)
    Thanks for making these videos, it really helps before buying a used car!

    I own the A4 B8 since 2010. The 1L oil usage per 1000km was the main issue. Audi told me that is normal. I changed the garage & I received a brand new engine in 2014 for free & have had no issues since then. In 2020 the right front bearing failed & the air condition pump leaked. That is not bad after 10 years. I still have the car & love it.

    I wanted to buy an A5 with Multitronic transmission, and being a camper with a 750kg trailer, I was concerned about the CVT, and a Audi Technician confirmed my concerns. CVT is not recommended for towing. So, I guess I'm going to have to get me an A4, hopefully an Avant. Love the styling of the stationwagon :-). I currently have the B6 A4 petrol, with almost 285,000 on the clock, and is still a smooth ride. I have a few interested people who wants to buy it, as it is very well looked after.

    The worst-ranked problem by Car Complaints for all Audi A4 model years is excessive oil usage, which is a complaint that seems to appear in every model year. In fact, it is the most commonly-reported problem across all years. Though most model years have complaints of excessive oil usage or burning oil, the problem appears worst in the 2011 Audi A4. According to Car Complaints, this problem happens around 64,000 miles and costs owners an average of $6,000 to repair, earning a severity rating o

    Definitely replace the PCV for high oil consumption. The PCV also went through an iteration of improvement. Shocks can fail only 150km. The turbo linkage can fail somewhere around 200km and the turbo will need to be fully replaced. Shocks can fail at on Audi fixed so many issues across their entire line in 2016 so highly recommend 2016+ vehicles. Brakes and MT/clutch are incredibly resilient if you know how to drive. 267km on my 2011 A4 MT.

    -If you have Automatic Transmission , change the oil often ... do not put it on Neutral at all only for emergency , If you wanna save money from gas just don't push the gas pedal at all if you are downhill
    -Do not push the gas pedal all the way in at once , do not hold the gas pedal all the way in for too long or all
    The reason why , the video will show the leaks on different car parts ... that's from pushing your car to the limits

    Nice, exactly what I needed :) I own a B8 since about two years, it's the 3.0 TDI 245HP Quattro S-Line version, but it's a high mileage car. I now have about 250.000 km on it, it still drives perfectly smooth, but since you mentioned it, I do need to take a look at the timing chain, it's never been replaced and probably worn out... Allthough I don't hear any concerning noice. But otherwise, I never had any problems with the car except for wear parts like brakes etc. and for one thing - Recently, the tensioner for the belt, which drives the alternator, the power steering pump and the AC compressor (so NOT the timing belt tensioner), has just fell off while the car stood there. Well, easy fix, not expensive, but the car had to be towed to my local mechanic.

      Don't be silly, 250 000 km is not high mileage, it's quite average for these cars. The diesel engines especially should be good for 400k+ if you change oil regularly (every 8000-10000 k, and not one kilometer more!), use only high quality oil, and don't ignore any obvious problems.

    We had a pre Facelift model of this A4. We made 330.000 kilometers on this Car without major issues. But like menshioned the Doorlocks tend to fail. At the end of our ownership 3 of the 4 doors (including the Drivers door) where brocken.

    if u are buyin a b8 a4 it will burn oil! either have 2-3k set aside for piston ring rebuild or always have a 5 qt jug in the trunk other than that these are excellent cars, super fun to tune and build and handle way better than the competitors

    I’ve had many problems with this car now fixed. 1. Oil consumption (replaced piston, piston rings, and software update) $ few grand considering Audi gave me a partial warranty after weeks of pestering them.
    2. Lights going out (easy diy)
    3. Hpfp (easy diy)
    4. O2 sensor cost few grand forgot exactly how much
    5. Camshaft position sensor cost few hundred
    Regardless what the video entails is pretty accurate.
    I drive Audi A4 b8 2009 Quattro. Drives nice but I still worry in future what problems will arise. Possibly have to replacement control arms a grand if diy.

    All of the A4 2009 2.0l Diesel have a flywheel issue , it start vibrating at low RPM and get worst with time . My car stat vibrating at 120.000 km till 220.000km i sold the car now.
    All of the A4 2009 2.0 Diesel have the issue with clutch bearing that wear out at 50.000 km and earlier, the clutch pedal become very hard to press. My car the bearing failed at 100.000 did not change it and got used to it but my back pain get worst 😅.
    Today i drive a Mercedes automatic gear box.
    If you ever want to buy the Audi A4 B8, do your checking before you buy and get some cache a side for a complete clutch replacement 2.400 euro at VW dealer. The new clutch and fly-wheel are from the new generation and should not have that issue anymore.
    Drive your car gentle and all will be fine.
