not a nice car.

lots of squeeks and rattle within the first 2000miles. dealer was never able to get rid of any of them. I ended up wedging several pennies in various places to stop the squeeks. rattles i just lived with

oil consumption of 1qt at 5000, then 10000 then 15000, then it started to consume at a faster rate. 4000miles and last time i put in a qt there was only 3500miles from previous qt.

turbo started surging around 14K miles. dealer said it's not an issue... ummm okay, started getting worse and Divertor valve finally threw a code at 25K miles. got it back and a week later turbo surges again... engine sound like shit... I doubt it will last another 30K miles.

I could go on but over all it's just a boring car to drive.

damn already? time flies :hs:

for the record, my previous A4 with the 1.8T (weak ass engine btw ) never had any problems in the 36k miles ive owned it. other than a single bad coil pack that my dealer replaced for free in a day.

i wish i had that engine instead of the pos 2.0T.

there were some good things.... it was invisible to cops as there are tons of them in socal :rofl:

it also got good MPG. 32mpg on the freeway which isn't too bad at all.
