The A4 is in many ways a landmark for the Audi brand. To some extent, it can even be called a “breadwinner”. If you look at the history of Audi, then the volume of production of this model has always been quite significant. And at some time she even took first place.
In addition, many fans of the brand began their acquaintance with the A4, and only then, having appreciated all the advantages, they moved on to other models.

Beyond time and generations
This characteristic can be given to engines of the EA827 / EA113 series. After all, various modifications of these units were installed on three generations of the A4 model. The series was represented by 1.6 and 1.8-liter naturally aspirated fours, as well as the legendary 1.8 T modification, which was widely used on a variety of models of various brands of the VAG concern.
Modest 1.6
The younger 1.6-liter unit is a modification of the 1.8-liter unit with a short-stroke crankshaft. Due to this, the working volume of the combustion chambers was reduced. It has a timing belt drive, the resource of which is determined within 60 thousand km. The condition of the belt must be carefully monitored, since if it breaks, the valve bends here. The cylinder head is arranged according to the SOHC scheme, that is, with one camshaft. The presence of hydraulic lifters removes the need to adjust the valves. On injection versions there is a variable valve timing system. The engine has a fairly solid resource. Able to calmly retreat more than 300 thousand km. With careful care, there are also much higher mileage figures.
Problems encountered:
- Vibration;
- An unpleasant feature of the motor. It is treated with ECU firmware;
- Floating idle speed. Possible reasons: idle speed regulator, throttle valve contamination, injector condition;
- High oil consumption. This can be both a harbinger of a complete "capital", and problems with valve stem seals and rings;
- Intake manifold cracking;
- Noisy work, knocking. Most often this is due to the peculiarities of the operation of hydraulic lifters.
Famous 1.8
The basis for the 1.8 engine, in the form of a cast iron block, is identical to the younger unit. The increase in the working volume is achieved due to the longer piston stroke. The timing drive is also belt-driven. The declared resource for replacement is 60 thousand km. But the "heads" could be installed different. There are three options for 8, 16 and 20 valves. Sometimes, the presence of a cylinder head marked 20V is mistaken for the "head" of a five-cylinder engine. However, it is not. It's just that a system with five valves per cylinder is used here. All three options are equipped with hydraulic lifters.
Regarding the issue of risks in the event of a timing belt break, the 1.8-liter engine is in many ways similar to its less voluminous counterpart. On a single-shaft cylinder head with 8 valves, there is still a chance that they will remain intact in the event of a break. Two other, more complex constructive options, clearly involve repair after such an incident.
The 20-valve version is equipped with a variable valve timing system. The same cylinder head is used on the turbo version. Its design differences lie in the presence of a turbocharger with a small intercooler. This gives a significant increase in terms of power characteristics.
As for reliability, these motors are doing quite well with this indicator. Under normal operating conditions, atmospheric versions easily pass 300 thousand, and a significant part of them is even more. For natural reasons, the turbocharged version has a smaller resource. Nevertheless, and she has it quite decent. Especially in comparison with modern turbo engines. Most of the copies calmly pass over 200 thousand, and some reach up to 300 thousand. The turbine itself can withstand about 250 thousand km.
Problem areas of 1.8 / 1.8T engines
Since the motors are structurally very similar, their problems also largely overlap. Among the most common are the following:
- Leaking oil cooler gasket;
- Regular contamination of the crankcase ventilation system;
- Failure of the fan viscous coupling;
- Instability of turns. The engine stalls. The most common reasons: idle valve, throttle contamination, the state of the pillow under mono injection (if any);
- Increased fuel consumption. The reasons may be a malfunction of the lambda probe or coolant temperature sensor.
Two-liter "aspirated"
The engine with the designation ALT, producing 130 hp, was installed on the second and third generation of the model. Has established itself as a motor with a calm character. It is suitable for those who prefer predictability and reliability over dynamics. The series is deservedly considered one of the best options for cheap maintenance. The resource did not disappoint either. It is not a problem for the motor to overcome the 300 thousand mark.
According to the reviews of the owners and service technicians, many specimens have a very decent oil appetite. It manifests itself first in small volumes, and then grows. Usually zhor stops at 2-3 liters per 10 thousand, but there are also neglected cases. The collective opinion of the owners and servicemen suggests that the whole thing is in the poor design of the rings. Due to the weak strut, they do not work properly. At the same time, many owners of cars with such an engine made repairs, after which they managed to reduce the consumption to 500-700 grams of oil by 7-8 thousand mileage.
Sensitive 2.0 FSI
In 2002, the second generation Audi A4 (B6) was the first of all the models of the concern to try on the new 2.0 FSI engine. Its main feature is direct fuel injection. The new 16-valve aluminum cylinder head has a continuous variable valve timing system.
The high-tech power system turned out to be quite sensitive. This can be a decent hassle for the owner. The quality of domestic fuel and the harsh climate clearly do not contribute to the stable operation of a complex system. At extremely low temperatures, the engine may simply not start. More often than not, the problem lies in the candles. It is solved by replacing it with plugs from the 1.8 T engine, which have a smaller gap.
Loss of power may indicate that the valves are soaked. Due to the fact that direct fuel injection is used, the valve is not cleaned normally. Subsequently, this leads to channel overlap. For the first time this is manifested on a run of about 100 thousand km. To eliminate it, disassembly and repair will be required. And since this drawback refers to design features, then in the future such actions will most likely be required. The approximate interval is 100 thousand.
With active oil consumption, it is very likely that the rings are stuck. For a more accurate diagnosis, a serious diagnosis is required. But such a malfunction usually appears on high mileage.
Regular cleaning and attention is required. Although some owners solve the issue with radical methods. They reflash the ECU to work without it, and then jam it.
The operating statistics of this engine show that its average resource is 200-250 thousand km. For some owners, with very careful care, the motors pass up to 300. On the one hand, the indicators are not bad, but on the other, the motor has many problem areas. In terms of reliability, this is not the best option.
V-shaped atmospheric "sixes"
The motors of this design installed on the Audi A4 of the first two generations can be safely attributed to the representatives of the classic "old school". Due to the fact that the A4 is a mid-range model, they are much less common than options with four cylinders. Indeed, in comparison with them, they require significantly higher maintenance costs by themselves. However, if you initially consider and evaluate them in your niche, then they are quite reliable. This is facilitated by the simplicity of the design (relative to modern analogues), moderate forcing and low operating temperatures.
For engines with volumes of 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 liters, versions released after 1996 are considered more successful. Apparently the engineers did work on "childhood diseases". However, some unpleasant surprises can show up. One of these is gummy deposits on valve pockets.
The 3.0-liter V-engine installed on the second generation (B6) has a different design and belongs to the BBJ series. It is difficult to call it the fundamentally best in terms of characteristics. There is no clear advantage, but the cost of maintenance is much higher. This is facilitated by the complexity of the design.
All motors in this group have a common problem - tight placement in the engine compartment. After all, they were designed to be installed on larger models of the concern. This leads to the need to disassemble a significant part of the "front" for maintenance and repair. Such a tight arrangement often makes it impossible to inspect the condition of the engine for fluid leaks and other visual manifestations. Often this leads to the fact that the owners notice the malfunction too late. Cases have been recorded when an imperceptible leak of oil from under the cylinder head covers led to a full-fledged fire in the engine compartment.
To summarize, the problems with these motors are related to age and oil consumption. Even in a tough urban operation cycle, the resource before overhaul will be no less than 250-300 thousand km. And if the engine was monitored, and repairs were made in a timely manner (for example, replacing caps and rings), then they are able to go through more than 400 thousand.
Legendary 1.9 TDI
At first, the first generation tried on a diesel unit of the EA180 series with a power of 90 hp. Versions fitted to the A4 had a single-shaft, direct-injection 8-valve cylinder head. The engine is noted as being very reliable and not particularly picky about fuel quality. But it is still not worth pouring in a frank surrogate.
In 1998, production of the next generation of these diesel engines began. The series received the designation EA188. The engine has been significantly improved. Instead of a high-pressure fuel pump, pump nozzles were used, and the designs of the intake and intercooler were also changed.
Engines of these series have become very popular. Possessing good characteristics and consumer qualities, they did not sacrifice a resource. Yes, these are not the easiest motors to maintain. They require attention, care and timely maintenance. But if you adhere to these rules, then their runs quietly exceed 400 thousand km.
Reliable 2.0 TDI EA188 series
As you can see from the title, the engine is related to the famous 1.9-liter unit. A round figure, a working volume of 2.0 liters, was achieved by increasing the diameter of the cylinders. The differences do not end there. The engine received a cylinder head of a completely different design. The DOHC scheme with two camshafts was used. Initially, the engine developed 140 hp, however, later a more powerful version of 170 hp appeared. This version seriously changed the engine. The changes affected almost all major details. The cylinder head has changed dramatically.
Despite its high manufacturability, the engine is considered very reliable. Its resource is from 400 to 500 thousand km. However, such figures can only be achieved with quality service.
Faults encountered:
- Problem with injectors on early 170 hp versions;
- Regular wear of the hexagon faces on the oil pump drive. Occurs every 150-200 thousand km. Solved by preventive replacement;
- Increase in oil level. The reason may lie in the particulate filter or injectors;
- Loss of traction. Pereduv. This is evidence of problems with variable turbine geometry. It may be jammed.
2.0 TDI with common rail system
In 2007, a new engine was released based on the EA188 motor. He received the designation EA189. Structurally, it is very similar to its predecessor. The main differences lie in a different cylinder head. Instead of the unit injectors, the Common Rail system was used.
This motor has become a very worthy replacement for its predecessor, because it has no obvious weaknesses. Hence he has a good reputation. And those malfunctions that nevertheless appear are not critical.
Identified characteristic faults:
- Oil pump hex problem. Occurs on versions with balancer shafts manufactured before 2009;
- Intake manifold swirl flaps jammed.
The resource is very decent for a modern motor. With good maintenance, it is quite possible to drive 350-400 thousand km on this engine.
V-shaped gears TDI
Quite interesting engines, especially in combination with not the largest car, such as the Audi A4. On the one hand, there are very high indicators of power and traction, and on the other hand, decent reliability and efficiency.
This is especially true for engines 2.7 and 3.0. The real resource of the units may well be 400 thousand km. The main problem with such engines is the injectors. They rarely take care of more than 200 thousand, especially with domestic fuel. Replacing them is very expensive, nevertheless, many motorists are not even deterred by this. After all, in fact, the motor no longer has serious problems. Buying an expensive car also means not the cheapest service, so a significant part of such copies have been successfully serving their owners for many years.
Problematic 2.5 TDI
The direct injection 2.5-liter V6, on the other hand, is usually less well received. These motors can be found on A4 until 2006. On the units of the first series, there were problems with the timing drive. In this regard, premature wear of the rockers occurred. If the repair is not made promptly, then the most sad consequences are possible, up to the repair of the entire cylinder head. In the future, the drive was modified, so on later units the occurrence of such a malfunction is unlikely.
But the problem with the high-pressure fuel pump was never solved. Structurally, it is very unsuccessful, therefore it cannot boast of reliability. The consequence of such design miscalculations is its constant overheating, and in the future, complete failure.
There are questions about the resource of the cylinder-piston group. Its wear occurs much earlier than other units. Also, the problem can be exacerbated by an extended oil change interval. Therefore, when buying such a copy, high-quality engine diagnostics is simply a must. The variable geometry turbine is also considered not the strongest part of the engine.
Era of TFSI
The VAG concern, and its Audi brand in particular, are among the leaders in the implementation of innovative technological solutions on their cars. The engines were not spared either. There is a tendency to gradually switch to turbo engines. If earlier the turbo versions were positioned as sports or "charged", then from the third generation began the rapid displacement of "atmospheric".
2.0 TFSI EA113 series
This motor was introduced in 2004 as a replacement for the 2.0 FSI. In addition to the turbine itself, the engine is structurally different enough. First of all, the cylinder block, which in this case is made of cast iron. Many other design details have also undergone serious revision.
Among the common problems is oil consumption. It appears mainly with medium runs. The main reasons for this are the valve stem seals and rings. There are also times when the culprit is the crankcase ventilation valve.
The appearance of knocks and the so-called "diesel" indicates problems with the camshaft chain tensioners. And the loss of traction at high speeds indicates that the injection pump pusher is worn out. It has a relatively small resource, moreover, it is recommended to check its condition every 15-20 thousand km. Such manifestations in the range of the entire acceleration indicate problems with the bypass valve.
Not very long life on this engine and ignition coils. You should also pay attention to the intake system. It is periodically necessary to clean the intake manifold and monitor the condition of the intake manifold motor.
1.8 TFSI first generation (EA888)
It first appeared in 2007 and was positioned as a completely new development. Despite the fact that this was the first generation, it is considered a relatively successful option among the TFSI. Its resource allows the motor to exceed 250 or even 300 thousand km. But this will require very high-quality service from understanding masters.
The identified problems are not that many, but they are. So, the owners can be annoyed by noises and metallic sounds. The reason lies in the timing chain, which stretches to about 100 thousand km. The chain problems don't end there. It may jump. This happens most often when parking on a slope with the hood up. The jump itself occurs at the start. The problem is especially relevant for cars produced before 2010. Then it was partially eliminated by modifying the tensioners and the chain itself. Nevertheless, such cases continue to be recorded, although much less often.
Floating speed may indicate coking of the valves. The reason lies in the design itself with direct fuel injection. It happens that the reason is in the swirl flaps of the collector, which are prone to contamination.
Increased oil consumption can signal a problem with the oil separator. In general, the engine, as a representative of the modern high-tech school, is very sensitive to the quality of oil and fuel consumed.
1.8 TFSI second generation (EA888)
A new generation appeared already in 2008. For a while, both generations were produced in parallel. The engine has received some changes. They honed the cylinders in a different way, made changes to the design of some parts, and installed other attachments. Thanks to this, the engine fits into the Euro 5 environmental standards. And although in principle there are few differences from the first generation, the units turned out to be very different in terms of reliability.
The main problem with these motors is a crazy oil appetite. The culprit of this phenomenon is the piston rings of a special design. They were made very thin and with small drainage holes. The first symptoms can appear as early as 50 thousand km, and by 100 thousand the oil can be consumed in whole liters for just one thousand kilometers. All this leads to the fact that the car may require major repairs already in the region of 100 thousand km. There is no single solution to the problem. Sometimes it helps to replace rings with more suitable ones. But it so happens that the condition of the cylinders forces you to bore. And this entails the installation of oversized pistons. It should be noted that the problem was eventually solved by the manufacturer at the end of 2011.
The consequences of such a butter oil can be floating speed. This is due to oil deposits from the abundant ingress of oil into a variety of engine cavities. To eliminate the phenomenon, disassembly and cleaning of the cylinder head will be required. Some instances require such procedures every 50 thousand km.
In the interval of 100-150 thousand km, the chain is stretched. There is only one solution - replacement. Necessarily the whole set and, most importantly, the parts of the new sample. The high pressure fuel pump can also add troubles due to which gasoline can get into the oil. It is treated only by replacing the assembly.
It is rather difficult to talk about any statistics of the resource of these engines. After all, a lot depends on the operating conditions, quality service and, most importantly, the prompt elimination of the causes of malfunctions. In addition, the engine is very negatively affected by short runs and regular driving in city traffic jams.
2.0 TFSI second generation (EA888)
Only the second generation of engines of this series was installed on the Audi A4. Structurally, it was developed on the basis of the second generation 1.8 TFSI, while taking over all its diseases and problems, which were discussed in the previous section.
2.0 TFSI third generation (EA888)
In 2011, the series was replenished with a new generation. The engineers made an effort to rehabilitate themselves from the extremely problematic second generation. In the main question concerning the problem of excessive oil appetite, they have been able to achieve some success. But it is still impossible to call the motor super reliable.
For example, a change in the injection design from direct injection to injection into the intake manifold made it possible to significantly reduce the formation of carbon deposits, but not completely eliminate it. Also, the problem of chain stretching was not solved. You should still carefully monitor her condition after 100 thousand km.
The figure of 100 thousand is significant for this motor. In the area of \u200b\u200bthis run, it becomes necessary to adjust the turbine actuator. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe same hundred, oil pressure may drop. There may be several reasons: the worn condition of the camshafts and bushings, a malfunction of the oil pump or pressure sensor, filter defects, the quality of the oil itself.
Another known engine problem is associated with phase shifter valves. In this case, the motor "troit", "diesel" and shaking appear. Only the replacement of the faulty unit will help in this. The thermostat and pump also have a low resource.
As for the common resource, it is undoubtedly higher than that of the predecessor of the previous generation. However, it is still very individual, as the motor is very sensitive to operating conditions.
A little about flagships
The most voluminous engine installed on the Audi A4 is 3.2 FSI. This is if you do not take into account the "charged" modifications S4 / RS4. It is not so easy to meet him, since his main purpose was to complete the larger models of the brand and the concern. Therefore, such a specific combination often attracts only true fans of the brand, for whom dynamics is very important.
Direct fuel injection made the engine very moody about its quality. But this is not the biggest problem. The specially coated aluminum block on the cylinders, in combination with the high operating temperatures, results in a fairly rapid scuffing of these surfaces. It is difficult to predict this phenomenon. Some motors quietly drive up to detection and 200 thousand, and some do not reach even 150. The consequences of this are increased oil consumption, loss of power, the appearance of extraneous noise, and strong vibration. There is only one way out of this - major repairs.
Supercharged heir
In 2008, the 3.0 TFSI EA837 series was released. For its development, 3.2 FSI was taken as a basis. The cylinder block has been redesigned for supercharging, with a different crankshaft and pistons. As a result, this reduced the working volume to three liters. The cylinder heads have been slightly modified, but generally remain the same. The main innovation was the presence of a compressor.
The new engine and some unpleasant features were inherited from the ancestor. So it was not possible to completely overcome the problem of scoring. On this unit, it no longer stands so sharply, nevertheless, on some specimens this occurs. Especially if you often drive actively on an unheated engine. The manifestation of this is usually an increased oil appetite. Although it could be caused by the same rings.
In addition, the engine has a rather weak exhaust system as a whole. Burnouts, destruction of catalysts and other violations of the integrity of the structure occur periodically. Some copies annoy with a bang at startup. To identify the cause, a competent diagnosis of the contents of the cylinder head will be required. The low pressure fuel pump and the pump are not reliable.
However, the heir is still more reliable than his capricious ancestor. Subject to the rules of good service, the motor can easily live 200-250 thousand km.

AUDI A4 is a middle class car with a longitudinal engine, front or all-wheel drive. It is the successor of the Audi 80, produced in 1986-1994.
The premiere of cars of the new model range Audi A4 took place in October 1994, and serial production began in November. The body has acquired a more rapid shape with a rounded roof profile characteristic of the new VW-Audi style. The interior trim is simply homelike.
Visibility is excellent, while the highest requirements of passive safety of the car are met: the central pillars keep side impact well (since October 1996, all models have been equipped as standard with not only two front, but also two side, one on each side, airbags). In general, this model made a more solid impression, which finally allowed the Audi A4 to become a full-fledged competitor in the circle of prestigious compact models (such as the BMW 3-er and Mercedes-Benz C-class.) Of the D segment. The latest developments of Volkswagen AG in the field of safety and technologies (as well as a global program of savings in production) made it possible to create the Audi A4 on the unified B5 platform, which is also intended for other models of the concern, for example, the WV Passat IV.
Initially, six versions of the 4-door sedan were presented with different gasoline engines: in-line four-cylinder - 1.6-liter 101 hp (ADP), 1.8-liter with five valves per cylinder (125 hp - ADR) and turbocharging (150 HP - AEB); six-cylinder V-shaped - 2.6-liter V6 (ABC - 174 hp) and 2.8-liter (AAH - 174 hp). All these engines, except for the "weakest" 1.6-liter, were installed on the all-wheel drive version of the Quattro, the production of which was launched without any pause in the same 1994 year. In addition to such powerful and high-spirited "Otto-motors", the A4 became famous for its equally high-spirited inline 1.9-liter TDI turbo diesels with direct injection, first with 90-horsepower (1Z / AHU), and a year later with 110-horsepower (AFN) with variable geometry turbocharger. The latter, by the way, was the most economical in its class - fuel consumption in the urban cycle per 100 km of run is only 6.9 liters! The traction characteristics of all engines used are impressive. On petrol models, it is possible to install an automatic Tiptronic transmission, which allows you to change gears in manual mode, thus active drivers can fully realize their driving skills.
The galvanized body of the Audi A4 is not afraid of corrosion, in any case, the company gives it a ten-year warranty. In September 1995, power windows for the front doors became standard, but sunroofs were still only available on request. Two months later, in November, the Avant wagon premiered with the same range of engines as the sedan, with the exception of the weakest 1.6-liter petrol. The trunk volume of the station wagon varies from 390 to 1250 liters, which, although not much, is quite acceptable for station wagons for outdoor activities, in the market niche of which Avant is one of the most popular.
The basic equipment of the car includes: anti-lock braking system with engine traction stabilization system, two airbags, power steering, cruise control system, climate control system, central door locking, alloy wheels, radio with CD changer, power windows, external heated, electric mirrors, dust and pollen filter and other necessary equipment.
After the new 2.8-liter 30-valve V6 with 193 hp appeared in April 1996. (ACK), the base models were 37, including the Quattro all-wheel drive models, renowned for their excellent grip and stability on slippery roads, although the front-wheel drive versions are almost as good as them, far ahead of many competing all-wheel drive models.
The S4 sports all-wheel-drive model with a 2.7-liter twin-turbo engine, five valves per cylinder and four camshafts, this motor develops a maximum power of 265 hp. at 5800 rpm. The high torque of 400 Nm remains constant over a wide range of 1850 - 4600 rpm. The S4, like the "charged" station wagon S4 Avant that appeared a year later, is equipped exclusively with all-wheel drive. The sedan accelerates to a hundred in 5.6 seconds, the Avant in 5.7 seconds. Essentially, the S4 is a factory-tuned product. The sporty interior has a full range of equipment up to climate control.
The suspension of these cars is characterized by a sporty setting: there are wishbones in the front and rear (rear - double), as well as anti-roll bars. The Audi S4 Avant is in high demand, and it has few competitors.
The success of the A4 in the 1996 International Super Tour, with 7 out of 7 possible victories in the European, South African and Australian championships, confirms the car's high quality and sporty character. One of the most award-winning and prestigious vehicles in the world, the Audi A4 is a modern alternative to the conservative high-end car.
In the fall of 1999, the premiere of the Audi RS4 took place, which immediately won the title of the most powerful serial station wagon in the world. A modest-looking station wagon has the temperament of a supercar. Its 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 develops 380 horsepower! This force accelerates the car to 100 km / h in just 4.9 seconds. As befits exotic sports cars, these cars fall in price sharply when resold - at least half the price of a new car.
At the beginning of 2000, two new power units appeared: a turbocharged 1.8-liter gasoline engine with 180 hp. and a 1.9-liter high-torque diesel with 115 hp. with high pressure pump injectors, replacing the previous 110-horsepower diesel. As a result, the total number of motors from 90 to 193 hp. reached 9, which, in combination with various transmissions and chassis, made it possible to obtain a very wide range of models for every taste.
In autumn 2000, the premiere of a new generation of A4 models took place. From the very first glance at the new Audi A4, a high level of comfort and quality is evident, meeting the requirements of a high-end car. This impression is confirmed by the power of the engines, the unique ride quality, the automatic air conditioning system, as well as the high level of safety and increased strength of the body. The A4 has already earned worldwide recognition: 2001 brought this car six honorable international awards, including Goldenes Lenkrad (Golden Steering Wheel), and readers of Auto Motor und Sport magazine (Germany) recognized the Audi A4 as the best mid-range car of 2002.
The appearance of the second generation Audi A4 is in many ways reminiscent of the larger A6 and even the flagship of the company's lineup - the Audi A8. Unlike the first generation model, the new car is 69 mm longer, 33 mm wider and 13 mm taller. The first to appear were cars with a sedan body, which has a fairly low aerodynamic drag coefficient Cx, for the new model it is only 0.28.
If you look at the A4 sedan from the outside, you can assume that its trunk is quite small. In fact, this is a "visual trick" of designers trying to make the car lean. In reality, the size of the trunk corresponds to the class of the car. The car body is very durable - this is one of the "Audi" skates. Thanks to galvanizing, it resists salty winters.
The basic configuration, as such, did not exist. In Europe, when a person ordered a new "A4", after choosing the engine and body type, at his own discretion, he filled the car with various equipment. It was not for nothing that dealers called these cars “constructor for the buyer”.
Salon "A4" can be decorated in one of three corporate styles. The "Advance" version implies finishing with materials and leather of "natural" colors, as well as walnut inserts. Ambition infuses the interior with a sporty spirit - the upholstery patterns are more energetic, and the leather used in the trim is distinguished by light artificial tones that match well with the aluminum inserts. In the A4 Ambition, you can often find a sports three-spoke steering wheel trimmed with leather. Finally, the most luxurious performance is the elite "Ambiente". The cozy and luxurious interior is distinguished by wood inserts of a special texture and an abundance of leather. Even in the cheapest configuration, the interior conquers with the high quality of finishing materials and the precision of "fitting" parts. And the most expensive versions are equipped no worse than other models.
The modified vehicle will be powered by a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, including 1.8-liter turbocharged engines; 2.0 and 3.0 liters with a capacity of 150, 130 and 220 hp. respectively, 1.9 TDI turbodiesels with 131 hp. and 2.5 TDI 180 hp.
Modifications with engines of 1.8; In addition to the usual front-wheel drive, 2.5 and 3.0 liters will be equipped with an all-wheel drive transmission, and a Multitronic gearbox is installed on 2.0 and 3.0 liter models.
In 2001, the A4 Avant station wagon and the A4 Cabrio coupe-cabriolet were released, which will receive a folding hardtop (like the Mercedes-Benz SLK).
A4 Cabrio is dynamic and unique, designed with state-of-the-art technology, equipped with all possible equipment. Its predecessor was in production for about nine years, and during this time it has rightfully acquired the status of a "modern classic". The new generation model also has all the hallmarks of a cult car.
The redesigned body, which is 4.57 m long and 1.77 m wide, inherits the classic elegance of the Audi Cabriolet while emphasizing the sportiness of the brand. The convertible top of the new Audi A4 Cabriolet is equipped with an electro-hydraulic drive and a heated rear window as standard. Excellent sound insulation and excellent winter adaptation are a matter of course. With its sporty yet elegant interior design, which perfectly matches the dynamic exterior, the Audi A4 Cabriolet is strikingly harmonious. The temperament and unique qualities of this car are evident at first glance. Its dynamic, flat bonnet, sophisticated wedge-shaped body shape and powerful rear end with prominent tailpipes clearly express its sporty character.
These are all hallmarks of Audi design. They, combined with the power of the engines delivering up to 220 hp, define the A4 Cabriolet's character, taking driving pleasure to a whole new level.
In addition, the Audi A4 Cabriolet engine is mated to a multitronic gearbox. It combines the excellent dynamic performance of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic.
The range of engines is quite extensive. Everyone can find a motor to their liking. The most economical 1.6-liter engine is suitable for phlegmatic drivers. This is followed by a 1.8-liter engine with 125 hp. It has a central injection and accelerates a weighty car quite easily. The engine is the same size, but with a turbocharger, it has a solid power reserve of 150 hp. Thanks to the low pressure turbine, it pulls powerfully from low speeds. The 2.8-liter V6 engine with 193 hp gives the car a truly sporty temperament. The 2.6 l / 150 hp petrol engines complete the picture. and 2.4 l / 165 hp.
The turbodiesel range consists of two engines. Both feature direct fuel injection, intercooler and variable turbine geometries for greater low-end performance. Such an advanced design ensures quietness and temperament at the level of a gasoline engine. The four-cylinder 1.9-liter TDI engine with 110 hp. It has a very moderate fuel consumption - its average value is 5.6 l / 100 km. A more powerful version of the V6 2.5-liter with 150 hp. This motor is very harmonious with the station wagon body, since it is absolutely insensitive to the maximum load of the car.
At the 2004 Paris Auto Show, Audi presented the updated A4 generation. It features a redesigned bodywork, upgraded suspension and four new engines. As before, buyers are offered the A4 sedan and A4 Avant station wagon. The body design is made in the new corporate style of the brand. The completely redesigned front end is complemented by the Audi-specific single trapezoidal radiator grille. The headlamps have a slight bend in the bottom line. A new bumper, a slightly different tailgate solution and new original two-piece lights have appeared at the rear. The line of the wheel arches and the horizontal stamping on the body have also changed.
In addition, the chassis of the car has undergone modernization - the elastokinematics of the suspension has been changed, the characteristics of shock absorbers and springs have been improved, and some units and parts have been borrowed from the Audi A6 and the modification of the Audi S4. The sporty yet comfortable dynamic suspension makes driving the Audi A4 a real pleasure.
State-of-the-art technical solutions, impressive styling and the highest quality of interior trim, traditional for Audi, will satisfy even the most demanding customer. Interior changes include a new steering wheel with a trapezoidal hub, a new instrument cluster and a center console now facing the driver, more comfortable front seats with improved lateral support (optionally with an electric drive for 8 adjustments for the driver's seat and 4 for the passenger). Interior trim - expensive woolen fabric, velor or genuine leather of two types, including nappa.
The technical solutions used in it fully correspond to the new appearance of the Audi A4. Choose any of the engines: powerful and progressive gasoline units are at your service, as well as efficient diesel engines with high torque.
The range of engines includes five petrol engines: atmospheric "fours" 1.6 l 8V (102 hp) and 2.0 l 16V (130 hp), turbo engine - 1.8 l 20V (163 hp) ... Plus two new petrol engines: a 3.2-liter V6 FSI with direct fuel injection, which produces 255 horsepower, as well as a two-liter turbo engine with direct fuel injection, already known from the Audi A3 and VW Golf V models, with a capacity of 200 horsepower. From zero to one hundred kilometers per hour, both modifications accelerate in 7.3 seconds, and their maximum speed is 250 and 241 kilometers per hour, respectively.
For the Russian market, instead of engines with FSI, a powerful 3.0 liter "six" is offered, developing 218 hp. In addition, there are three turbo diesel TDI R4 2.0 liters (140 hp) and two V6 2.5 liters (163 hp) and 3.0 liters (204 hp quattro). In Europe, the base is the 1.9-liter TDI (116 hp). Audi A4 with a two-liter turbodiesel will be able to accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in 9.7 seconds, and with a three-liter - in 7.2 seconds.
The gearboxes are 5- or 6-speed manual gearboxes or a multitronic variator (front-wheel drive), and the quattro has a 6-speed tiptronic automatic. The legendary quattro permanent all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction, and even in difficult road conditions, it guarantees a unique level of safety. A4 safety is ensured by upgraded active (ABS + EBD, Brake Assist) and passive (8 airbags, including adaptive frontal) safety systems.
The luggage compartment of the A4 sedans is from 460 to 720 liters, and the A4 Avant station wagons from 442 to 1184 liters.
The list of additional equipment for A4 is traditionally wide - these are xenon turning headlights, active front head restraints that automatically take a C-shape when landing, separate 4-zone climate control, 4 hi-fi audio systems to choose from (power up to 210 W), trim natural wood and aluminum, 9 wheel designs, navigation system with TV tuner, several steering wheel designs and much more.
In addition to the S-line sports tuning package, the new DTM Edition sports package has been offered since 2005.
The premiere of the next generation Audi A4 Cabriolet 2006 model year took place in Frankfurt. The main design change compared to the previous version is immediately apparent: this is a monolithic trapezoidal radiator grille, first appeared on the Nuvolari concept. Dimensions: length - 4,573 mm, height - 1,391 mm, wheelbase - 2,650 mm.
The rear lights and bumper are also redesigned, which houses a diffuser, adding a touch of sportiness. The modern interior is quite consistent with the progressive style of the car's exterior. The standard interior of the car is decorated with aluminum inserts, you can also order the finish in walnut, gray or beige birch. The interior can be upholstered in fabric, fabric with leather, leather or leather with Alcantra in various colors.
Automatic up can be lowered and raised at speeds up to 30 km / h. Thanks to good thermal insulation and a glass rear window, the A4 Cabriolet can be used without restrictions in winter. As an option, a top with improved acoustic insulation is available, which allows for sound comfort levels comparable to the A4 sedan.
In 2007, a new generation of the A4 sedan enters the market. The continuity of generations, fully inherent in all models from Audi, is evident. The car retained all the recognizable features of its predecessor, but at the same time improved in all respects. The salon has become more spacious, the appearance is more expressive, and the equipment is richer. In short, the car has become more solid and luxurious. It is noteworthy that the A4 family sedan has been the best-selling Audi model for many years.
There are many changes in the car. The look has become much faster. The car received headlights in the style of a coupe A5, a bumper with aggressive air intakes, stamping, dissecting the sidewalls of the body. The Audi A4 sedan is 11 cm longer and 6 cm wider. The wheelbase has increased by 158, which has a beneficial effect on the interior space and trunk volume. The sedan has 480 liters of useful space in the luggage compartment, the station wagon has 490 liters with the seats in normal condition and 1430 liters if the rear seats are folded. In addition to its huge dimensions, the A4 Avant trunk has a fixing net, a 12-volt outlet and a double-sided lid, which is covered on one side with soft nap, and on the other - plastic. Plastic is indispensable when transporting contaminated cargo, and the soft fleecy coating will protect the trunk from scratches if the cargo has sharp corners. For the transportation of long loads, there is a hatch in the backrests of the rear seats.
The 2007 Audi A4 has five engine types. Two of them are gasoline: one with a turbocharger, a volume of 1.8 liters and a capacity of 160 liters. sec., the second - a 3.2-liter V6, developing 265 hp. With cutting-edge engine technology, Audi vehicles are powerful and efficient. All types of gasoline engines are equipped with FSI technology, which allows to increase the torque and power of gasoline engines, as well as reduce fuel consumption (up to 15%) and reduce the toxicity of exhaust gases. Unlike intake manifold injection, FSI engines inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber. This reduces internal heat loss as well as increases power and fuel consumption.
The most modest diesel version offers a 2.0 TDI engine with 143 hp. Also, the car can be equipped with 2.7 TDI turbo diesel with 190 hp. and 3.0 TDI with 240 hp. TDI engines use modern common rain technology. The latest generation Common Rail system has a high-pressure fuel pump and one rail per cylinder bank. It has a maximum injection pressure of 1600 bar, which is 250 bar more than the previous generation Common Rail system. During injection, an electrical voltage is applied to the ceramic element of the piezo injector, which changes its crystal structure.
The Audi A4 is available with both front-wheel drive and quattro all-wheel drive. The range of transmissions consists of a six-speed manual gearbox, a continuously variable variator Multitronic, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The quattro A4 all-wheel drive transmission can be equipped independently of the engine. The all-wheel drive design has not fundamentally changed, but has undergone reconfiguration: it has become "slightly" rear-wheel drive. When driving on a straight dry road, 60% of the torque is transferred to the rear axle.
Thanks to the use of modern grades of steel, the car body has become 10% lighter, while, according to the creators, the body has become more durable, the body must withstand collisions with an obstacle at speeds up to 15 km / h without any consequences at all.
The developers also took care of the safety of passengers and the driver. For these purposes, there are six airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, standard parking sensors, ABS and ESP electronic stabilization system. In 2007, the Audi A4 received the highest Euro NCAP 5-star rating as one of the safest vehicles in its class.
The basic configuration of the car includes an on-board computer, central locking, electrically adjustable mirrors, power windows, heated seats, and a rain sensor. Optional A4 Avant available blind spot control, adaptive cruise control, sunroof, panoramic roof, hill assist, Bang & Olufsen audio system with 500 watts amplifier, 10 active channels and 14 speakers and much more.
In March 2011, the 5 millionth Audi A4, the Avant 3.0 TDI quattro in Misano Red, rolled off the assembly line at the Audi Ingolstadt plant.
After four years of production, the third generation has been restyled. The car received upgraded engines and chassis, as well as a slightly modified exterior. The car "grew" by several millimeters in length and height. The hood has become more curved. The designers changed the shape of the radiator grill by slightly "cutting" its upper corners. The cross ribs and rings of the Audi emblem are now more prominent. The grille can be painted gray or high-gloss black (on 6-cylinder models and models with the S line package). The headlights have been redesigned with a slightly undulating curve at the lower edges; changes also affected the internal structure of the optics. Xenon plus headlights are available as an option. The LED daytime running lights are designed in a single, narrow strip located next to the lenses of the xenon headlights. Adaptive headlights as well as dynamic and static cornering lights are available on request. The shape of the rear lights echoes the shape of the front optics. When Xenon plus headlights are ordered, they are continuous LED strips.
The interior has been refreshed with additional chrome inserts that have appeared on the buttons and steering wheel. The steering wheel itself has become sportier due to the cut-off lower segment, and the navigation system is now controlled with four buttons instead of eight. The interior of the vehicles with the S line sports package is in black with updated materials. The package also includes 18 '' or optional 19 '' alloy wheels. Otherwise, everything is the same: easy-to-read devices, a Russified on-board computer and a convenient joystick of the MMI system remained in their place. The trunk retained the same volume - 480 liters (962 liters with the rear seats folded) for the sedan and 490 for the Avant station wagon.
The engine range includes six diesel (TDI) and four petrol (TFSI) engines in 23. All engines are supercharged with direct fuel injection; start-stop and recuperation systems are standard on all variants. As a result, the average fuel consumption has been reduced by 11%. The engines can be aggregated with a manual transmission, a S-tronic “robot” with a double clutch and a multitronic continuously variable variator, front or all-wheel drive. In total, 23 combinations of engines and transmissions are available for the Audi A4, 16 variants are available in Russia.
A new 1.8-liter turbocharged petrol engine is available for the Audi A4, which can be ordered in two versions - 120 and 170 hp. The top-end 3.0-liter TFSI petrol engine, producing 272 hp, stands apart from the others. in the version for Audi A4 and 333 hp in the version for the sporty S4. As for the diesels, the following options are available: a 2.0-liter TDI with 136, 163 and 177 hp, as well as a 3.0-liter engine that produces 204 or 245 hp. depending on the version.
For the Audi A4 family, quattro® all-wheel drive uses a self-locking center differential. In normal driving mode, it distributes the torque primarily to the rear wheels in a ratio of 40% to 60%. If necessary, redistribution occurs in the shortest possible time. The Torque Redistribution function helps the center differential work by using the brakes and giving the vehicle better handling.
Following the "older" A4 models, they were equipped with modern security systems: now the electronics monitor the markings, road signs, the car automatically brakes in front of an obstacle at speeds up to 30 km / h, monitors the driver's reactions and condition depending on driving style. In addition, a blind spot tracking system has appeared.
The presentation of the Audi A4 in the new B9 body took place on June 29, 2015. The world premiere will take place at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. This is the fifth generation of this model.
The appearance of the Audi A4 2016 has noticeably changed, it has become more aggressive. The author of the updated look is the same designer Walter De Silva. The changes affected several elements at once. Already in the base, the car is equipped with xenon headlights, which have LED daytime running lights built into them. The rear lights have received new geometry and a larger surface area. Dimensions and turn signals are clearly visible in the lateral projection and behind at a great distance. Fog lights, although they remained at the same level, have made room for the placement of sensors for monitoring road markings and thermal imaging equipment.
The car also received a wider Singleframe grille, redesigned bumpers (reminiscent of the sporty R model), re-shaped rearview mirrors and increased use of chrome trim.
The sloping roof, the sharp corner of the windshield, in combination with the embossings located on the side parts of the body, provide an excellent passage of the incoming air flow. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.23 for the sedan and 0.26 for the station wagon, which in turn will reduce fuel consumption.
In terms of its dimensions, the Audi A4 2016 turned out to be slightly larger than the car of the previous generation. The length of the sedan is 4726 mm (+ 25), the wheelbase is 2820 (+ 12), the width is 1842 (+ 16), and the height remains unchanged (1427). The Audi A4 B9 (2015-2016) is based on the second generation MLB platform, due to which it was possible to reduce the weight (depending on the modification) by 120 kg compared to its predecessor.
The interior has become an order of magnitude more spacious, mainly due to the increase in the size of the wheelbase. There was an additional 23 mm for the legs behind the seats. The driver and passengers can enjoy completely redesigned anatomically shaped seats. Inside the Audi A4 2016, there is a completely different front panel with a free-standing multimedia system screen, a different climate unit, an even row of air ducts like on the Q7 II and a similar compact gearshift lever that swapped places with the MMI control washer. The steering wheel has a minimum of buttons. Minimalism, however, is not at the expense of information content. But at the same time, everything is at hand. Any switch can be reached.
The top-end multimedia system is equipped with an 8.3-inch tablet with voice control, Wi-Fi hotspot, LTE, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Rear seat passengers can also order two 10.1-inch tablets and a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
The A4 Avant's trunk now holds up to 505 liters of luggage with the rear seats, providing an increase of 15 liters over the old model. When the rear seat is folded down (40:20:40), the volume increases to 1510 liters.
Front and rear, the car received new five-link suspension. For a surcharge, adjustable shock absorbers are offered with two modes of operation: standard and sport. In the first version, the ground clearance is 10 mm lower than on the car in the version with conventional shock absorbers, and in the sports car - by 23 mm.
At the time the model entered the European market, seven power units are available for cars - three gasoline and four diesel ones, as well as a g-tron modification that runs on synthetic methane.
The petrol engines for the new Audi A4 are represented by a 1.4-liter "turbo four" with a capacity of 150 hp, as well as two two-liter engines with a return of 190 and 252 hp. The latter has four-wheel drive Quattro and accelerates to a hundred in 5.8 seconds. Among the diesel engines there are two two-liter four-cylinder TDIs with a capacity of 150 (320 Nm) and 190 (400 Nm) hp, as well as two three-liter "six", developing 218 (400 Nm) and 272 (600 Nm) "horses". With the top-end sedan gaining a hundred in 5.3 seconds.
The TFSI and 4-cylinder TDI engines work as standard with a newly developed 6-speed manual gearbox, which is 16 kg lighter than the previous one. All engines (except the 3.0 TDI 272 hp) are optionally available with the new 7-speed S Tronic dual-clutch, as a replacement for the old Multitronic continuously variable transmission. In turn, the 3.0 TDI (272 hp) is offered with an 8-speed Tiptronic gearbox, which also went through a number of changes.
It will also offer the A4 Avant g-tron with a 2.0 TFSI engine (170 hp) and 270 Nm, which can run on compressed natural gas (CNG). The cylinders installed under the car can hold 19 kg of gas at a pressure of 200 bar and according to Audi with a consumption of less than 4 kg / 100 km - the range on gas will reach 500 km. When the gas is depleted, a full tank of gas will allow you to drive another 450 km.
It is expected that later the line of engines will be expanded, including through hybrid modifications with the ability to recharge batteries from a household network.
Audi A4 is a representative of the luxury class of vehicles. During the entire production period, a sufficient number of gasoline and diesel power units were installed on the machines.
Motor Specifications
Audi A4 engines are powerful advanced powertrains renowned for their reliability. Of course, maintaining the engine is not cheap to the owner, but it justifies the money.
General view of AUDI A4
The range of motors is very large. There are engines with a volume from 1.6 liters to 3.2. Power can reach up to 400 horsepower in RS versions. As for diesels, they are quite familiar, since they are representatives of the VAG line.
Consider the main technical characteristics of Audi A4 engines, which are considered the most common:

Service of power units
Service of power units of the Audi A4 is carried out in the same way for all power units. The service interval is 15,000 km. You can service the engines both in a car service and with your own hands.
The maintenance chart looks like this:
TO-1: Oil change, oil filter change. Carried out after the first 1000-1500 km of run. This stage is also called the break-in stage, since the engine elements are lapped.
TO-2: The second maintenance is carried out after 10,000 km of run. So, the engine oil and filter, as well as the air filter element are changed again. At this stage, the pressure on the engine is also measured and the valves are adjusted.
TO-3: At this stage, which is performed after 20,000 km, the standard procedure for changing the oil, replacing the fuel filter, as well as diagnostics of all engine systems is carried out.
TO-4: The fourth maintenance is perhaps the simplest. After 30,000 km, only the oil and the oil filter element change.
TO-5: The fifth TO for the engine, like a second wind. A lot of things are changing this time. So, let's consider which elements will be replaced in the fifth maintenance:
- Oil change.
- Replacing the oil filter.
- Replacing the air filter.
- Replacing the fuel filter element.
- The timing belt and roller or chain are changed.
- Alternator belt if necessary.
- Water pump.
- Valve cover gasket.
- Other items to be replaced.
- Valve adjustment, in which the gas distribution mechanism is regulated.
Subsequent maintenance is carried out in accordance with the 2-5 maintenance card for the corresponding mileage.
Output
Audi A4 engines are one of the standards of reliability. Moreover, the design of most motors cannot be called simple. It is realistic to service the power unit with your own hands, but as for troubleshooting, you will need a trip to a car service.
Audi cars are one of the most coveted aftermarket. There are several reasons for this interest: the high durability of many models, pleasant finish, good equipment and excellent technical data. But, choosing a used "car with rings", you should be careful.
First, low prices are often a harbinger of twisted mileage or hidden defects. Second, parts and repairs are often expensive. Even if nothing breaks, maintenance costs will be high. At the same time, with the increase in the Audi class, the cost of ownership increases like an avalanche.
While the Audi A3 is not yet that expensive to maintain, the Audi A6 may be overwhelming. It's all about more sophisticated suspension, electronics and a tightly packed engine compartment.
Both gasoline and diesel engines can generate unexpectedly high costs. The breakthrough among gasoline units occurred in 2007. Then the 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI got under the hood of Audi. At the same time, numerous troubles rained down: the timing drive failed, the oil was consumed, the pistons collapsed. The V6 deteriorated a little earlier when the 2.4 FSI replaced the fast and robust 2.4.
The story in the diesel branch is no less complicated. An example of this is the successful 1.9 TDI and the failed 2.5 V6 TDI (the latest versions of which, for example, BAU, have already been practically eliminated from the drawback). Then came the unfortunate 2.0 TDI PD with unit injectors and the decent 3.0 TDI V6. Later, the 2.0 TDI PD was replaced by the improved 2.0 TDI CR with a common rail injection system.
Petrol engines
1.6 8V - low maintenance
You should not expect good dynamics and efficiency from a 1.6-liter gasoline aspirated engine. However, the Audi A3 with 1.6 8V is the cheapest Audi to maintain. Those who like dynamic driving should stay away from cars with such an engine.
This engine can be found under the hood of the Audi A3 (1st and 2nd generation) and A4 (B5 and B6). It has also been widely used in other VW Group vehicles. Moderately decently rides only the first A3, which weighs a little over a ton. A4 B6 is too heavy for 1.6. The disadvantages include fuel consumption. 9 liters per 100 km seems disproportionately large for mediocre dynamics.
However, in the era of complex motors, it is the only unit that guarantees low operating costs. Among the typical malfunctions, one can only note failing ignition coils and contamination of the throttle valve. Nothing expensive. Replacing the timing belt? Installation of gas equipment? It can't be cheaper, especially when compared with engines with direct injection and a timing chain drive.
The motor uses an aluminum body and head. The crankshaft is supported by five bearings, and multi-point (distributed) injection is responsible for the fuel supply. The camshaft is located in the block head.
Advantages:
Simple construction;
Cheap renovation;
Well tolerates the introduction of HBO;
Low cost of the car.
Disadvantages:
Poor dynamics (overtaking is difficult, especially in the case of A4);
Relatively high fuel consumption.
1.8 Turbo - powerful and reliable
The 1.8-liter turbocharged engine is still noteworthy. It is durable and fairly cheap to repair. The possibility of tuning is also appreciated.
The 1.8 T provides decent performance and reasonable fuel consumption. This is one of the first turbo engines to be widely used. It can be found not only in Audi, but also in Volkswagen, Skoda and Seat. The engine has even been used in industry.
The unit has a cast iron block, a forged steel crankshaft and an aluminum block head with 20 valves (3 inlet and 2 outlet per cylinder). A toothed belt is used to drive one camshaft, and the second shaft is connected to the first short chain. KKK turbine without moving blades (constant geometry), and fuel injection is distributed. The dry block weighs about 150 kg.
It soon became clear that the 1.8 Turbo has a lot of potential. Serially, 240 hp was removed from it, and in the process of tuning it can easily withstand a boost of up to 300 hp. Of course, in the case of a tuned unit, you should increase your vigilance, as it may already be driven.
And yet, more often the turbo engine was used not for sports trips. Under normal conditions, a car with such an engine consumes from 9 to 14 liters per 100 km.
With age, a number of shortcomings were discovered (timing and thermostat), but their elimination does not require large costs.
Advantages:
Good compromise between performance and fuel consumption;
Availability and availability of spare parts;
Wide selection on the market.
Disadvantages:
Several unpleasant typical defects in old cars with high mileage (oil consumption and timing problems).
Application examples:
Audi A3 I (8L);
Audi TT I (8N);
Audi A4 B5, B6 and B7.
2.4 V6 - only up to 2005
Despite the emergence of increasingly powerful inline turbo fours, Audi aficionados continue to favor the naturally aspirated petrol V6, especially in the earlier versions. Of course, you shouldn't count on low fuel consumption - at least 10 liters per 100 km. The city will have to reckon with even 20 liters. But the trip will seem pleasant.
There should be a clear distinction between two generations of a 2.4-liter engine. They have the same volume and dimensions, but in 2004 there was a modernization. Before the upgrade, the block was cast iron, and the head had 30 valves (5 per cylinder). After, the block became aluminum, the number of valves decreased to 24, direct injection and a timing chain appeared.
The latest innovations have failed. Due to the direct injection system (FSI), carbon deposits accumulated on the valves after several tens of thousands of kilometers. There were problems with the timing chain tensioner and the small mesh filter in the lubrication system. Completely ignoring the noise often resulted in chain hopping and serious damage. In 2008, Audi eliminated the timing vulnerability, but the engine could not withstand the pressure of the 4-cylinder turbo engines.
Advantages:
Good elasticity;
High reliability (only before upgrade);
Versions with distributed injection easily carry the installation of LPG.
Disadvantages:
The limited sense of installing HBO in the updated version of FSI;
Expensive timing problems (FSI);
Quite high fuel consumption.
Application examples:
Audi A4 II (B6);
Audi A6 C5 and C6.
Diesel Engines
The 1.9 TDI is durable and economical.
This is the most recognizable diesel engine in recent years. Even an elderly Audi with 1.9 TDI is worth considering - solid construction and inexpensive repairs.
The 1.9 TDI is a legendary engine. It has been produced since 1991 and has been modernized many times. It has found application in many other VW Group vehicles.
The most reliable and cheapest to operate and repair is the 90-strong version with a distribution type injection pump. The engine has a simple design, a constant geometry turbine and a single-mass flywheel.
Yes, small problems do happen sometimes. For example, with an EGR valve, an air mass meter and a fuel pump. But for the most part, malfunctions are caused not by constructive miscalculations or low quality, but by a decent age and high mileage.
The younger and more powerful 1.9 TDI versions have more solutions that can create problems. We are talking about a variable geometry turbine, dual mass flywheel, unit injectors and DPF. However, even these versions appear in a more favorable light against the background of diesel engines.
An exception is the 2006-2008 BXE version, which found itself, for example, under the hood of the second generation Audi A3. There are many known cases of bushings turning after 120-150 thousand km.
Advantages:
Simple construction;
Good endurance;
Low fuel consumption.
Disadvantages:
Many worn-out copies (the engine was installed until 2009, and since 2004 it has been gradually replaced by a 2-liter turbodiesel);
Low work culture: noise and vibration, especially after starting a cold engine.
Application examples:
Audi A3 I (8L) and II (8P);
Audi A4 B6 and B7;
Audi A6 C4 and C5.
2.0 TDI CR - finally all right
The 2-liter diesel is the main unit for most Audi models. Since 2007, he began to use the Common Rail injection system.
The design flaws of the 2.0 TDI with unit injectors prompted Volkswagen engineers to thoroughly modernize it. Changing the way we eat is the most important innovation. The pistons were also updated, problems with the oil pump drive were eliminated, a new block head and camshafts were installed. As a result, the durability of the engine was significantly improved, but also disadvantages appeared.
When buying an Audi with a 2.0 TDI engine, check the history of the car. Often, these were cheap and economical versions purchased for commercial or corporate garages. They have huge mileage and weren't always well maintained.
Typical faults involve the dual-mass flywheel and turbocharger. Piezoelectric injectors fail here no more often than competitors. Fortunately, they can be refurbished. As part of the service campaign, the manufacturer changed the high pressure lines.
Advantages:
Good performance with acceptable fuel consumption;
Good durability (especially compared to the 2.0 TDI PD)
A wide variety of versions.
Disadvantages:
Expensive maintenance (complex design and expensive spare parts);
Significant mileage of many specimens, despite their relatively young age.
Application examples:
Audi A4 III (B8);
Audi A6 III (C6).
3.0 TDI - for the demanding
High performance and dynamics are not the only benefits of the 3.0 TDI. Therefore, many choose it with pleasure, even despite the fairly high maintenance costs.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel was intended to correct Audi's bad reputation for diesel V6s, tarnished by the 2.5 TDI V6. The 3.0 TDI has earned respect not only for its performance, but also for its durability. The block, cylinder head and crank mechanism turned out to be very strong. There are 4 valves and one piezoelectric injector for each cylinder.
The problems are mainly related to the equipment. Most often, they are faced with a timing drive, the cost of replacing which is very expensive. Until 2011, 4 chains were used, and after that, two. The drive chain is located on the transmission side. To replace it, you have to remove the engine.
Not spared the shortcomings of the intake manifold flap (repair kits are available for sale) and DPF. The engine is constantly being improved, and in later versions, malfunctions are much less common.
Advantages:
High work culture;
Good performance;
Low fuel consumption;
Good service life for many engine parts.
Disadvantages:
Expensive in troubleshooting timing, intake manifold and DPF;
Many examples on the market have high mileage and dubious technical condition.
Application examples:
Audi A5 I (8T / 8F);
Audi Q7 I (4L);
Audi A8 II (D3).
A risky choice!
Audi's range contains engines that are great in theory but painfully disappointing in practice. In particular, the first generation 1.4 TFSI with a problematic timing chain should be mentioned. A more reliable version with a timing belt drive is currently used.
The engines of 1.8 and 2.0 TFSI with the code designation "EA888" seduce with their high efficiency. However, they suffer from high engine oil consumption. There are also problems with the turbine, camshafts and electronics.
Black sheep are also found among diesel units. For example, the Audi A2 was equipped with a 1.4 TDI with unit injectors. The problem lies in the appearance of a crankshaft play, the elimination of which is economically impractical. The 2.0 TDI PD is known for its cracking block head and poor equipment durability. The 2.5 TDI V6 is plagued by numerous timing mistakes, as well as with a lubrication and power supply system.
Conclusion
Once upon a time buying an Audi was easier - the engines ensured smooth operation. Currently, you need to pay attention to the version. Along with really successful motors, those for which the designers should be ashamed were also used. At the same time, even a fairly reliable modern engine will be expensive to maintain and maintain.
