The coolant bottle has green antifreeze it seems like in the video... that's a no no. This car should have g12 or g13 antifreeze in it. Also something to look out for with any Audi/Vw.

[@DaytonCarCare]

Yeah I think it should have the purple coolant or is it red? I forget.

[@edlingja1]

Depends how warm it is regularly. If it's hot hot, it's alot different than dealing with frequent winter weather and high humidity in the summers. All depends on the local dealership and overall design.

I have a 2002 1.8t a4 quattro. Runs fine. Sometime it will not take any gas for acceleration while engine is running fine. I would shut it off and then start back up and it would start up fine and then it will take gas for acceleration.

[@adebillions3292]

check your brakes.... it so happens that if your brake pedal is not fully released even with your foot off it...such happens. I currently experience that and instead of switching off and on, I just lift the brake pedal up a bit from under with my second foot.....voila car accelerates!!

2002 was what I had the first year. I still like them.

[@DaytonCarCare]

I'll sell mine for $5k. (02 Quattro) Has 93k miles gray exterior with black interior, 5 speed manual 1.8T Quattro. Just recently installed a test/down pipe so the the turbo spools up quicker. Also upgraded to Pioneer blue toothhead unit for hands free phone.

[@BladeDayBreak]

Do you think it's a good idea to buy one of these now? Or should you buy the B7 instead - in reliability poin of view. I currently own 80 B4 from '92, but want something a little bit newer. (Keeping the old one though, because I love it)

[@automotiveadbuilder]

+Mario T. I had them and they seem good to me. Its all if you know how to look at car and who owned it.

[@XxMadRiverxX]

Yes get the B6 but get a 1.8T... The 1.8T is easy to work on, is quick, a lot of performance parts are available, more room in the engine bay and you're more likely to enjoy it more I own a 2005 B6 don't get the B7 though I've heard them having multiple problems stick with a B6

[@XxMadRiverxX]

And get a standard 6 speed ;) I learned how to drive stick on my A4 and it was super easy nailed it all down in a month

[@DaytonCarCare]

Back timing chain tensioners get noisy with higher mileage and can throw cam sensor CEL codes. Just change it out with new solves problem.

[@garapia]

DaytonCarCare I second that .. have a 1.8T petrol and that tensioner allways gives problems(no oil up there generates a loud ticking bang noise).. it's an easy fix.. mine actually told me to stop the car during a road trip and result being that needed change.

[@martinee4901]

Check the spigot mount $10 fix. Rear coolant flange, seal leaks, probably due to wrong or late coolant, cheap to fix. If running cold, MAS thermostat, cheap to replace.. Do the PCV hose at the same time.

[@Trupininis]

ABS + ESP = Blown fuse. common problem with vw too,like passat b5+(fl).

Might need o2 sensors. Also sometimes the check engine had to do with automatic transmissions.... The abs could be just a sensor or the whole unit. Look up pricing on Ebay for those parts. Not sure what the price of the car is, but could be costly when you dont know someone else's problem car.

[@goattbe111]

[@horayman]

I think Tony might know what he is speaking about. I have had one for two year now....lots of issues. I am always fixing something. Low oil pressure, PCV issues, coils, clunky transmission , water hoses bursting, thermostat sticking, bulbs always going. Lots of issues. But like you said, they don't rust easily.

[@Deceptive24]

Ok here's some advice to expand on the very light information provided in this video... 2002~2005 A4 B6 Quattro AMB Engine (1.8T). What to look for: PCV Valve, AKA bleeder valve: Small plastic inline valve from crankcase to inlet manifold. These fail and create bad idle, lean mixture and associated fault codes, cheap to replace ($10-$20) Crankcase pressure relief pancake valve: Back of engine. These block up with oil residue. Cheap to replace ($10-$30) Can create idle issue and crankcase ventilation issues under load Coil packs: will fail (and will do so at the worst possible time) but shop around, can get some good ones for competitive prices, OEM packs are a rip-off Engine rubber air pipes: Disintegrate over time. Create boost and vacuum leaks, you can buy entire replacement kits online, including silicone rubber replacements, cheap. Engine vacuum/pressure check valves: fail and let air through them the wrong way creating numerous boost and vacuum issues. Packs of 4 for less than $10. Engine coolant sensor. Back of motor. A bit of a PITA to get to first time trying but easy once you do it once or twice. Cheap to replace. Use good synthetic oil and change it every 10,000km (normal driving) to ensure sludge doesnt build up inside motor (cylinder head oil drainage design not good for thick oil. blocks small oil channels etc) Change auto/diff fluids at 100,00km intervals. Audi says "sealed for life" but in reality that's the life of the warranty then Audi dont really care after that. I took my oil out of the auto trans at 150,000 and it was black/brown, my engine oil looked cleaner. Rear gas struts on boot lid (Avant) fail, door will fall down and try to chop off your head. Super heavy without struts working. Driver and Passenger seat airbag connector fails (directly under seat ), turns on airbag fault light. Cut out yellow connector and bypass by directly joining wires. Be careful with wiring lol. Oil dipstick tube shatters in place. A real shit of a thing. Tube is cheap. HID light igniters fail, Valeo sell them new on ebay etc for just over $100 (be careful of chinese copies). If you buy them from Audi they will want to extract your wallet through your ass, then still give you a Valeo item. Suspension components wear over time, they don't really fail catastrophically but you will benefit from replacing the key bushes and links. Less tyre wear and better "locked-in" road handling. Get the Ross Tech VCDS diagnostic software. Its relatively cheap for private use. You will learn SO much about what your car is doing and save you a ton of money diagnosing your own faults as well! CD/cassette player f*cks out. When it does take it out and sell it to your local museum, a cassette player as standard issue in 2002-2005... seriously Audi!? Air Con high pressure switch may need replacing. Tiny printed circuit board inside sensor gets corroded and shuts down AC with faulty reading *Summary: After 150,000km the instances of electrical components failing happens very quickly. ~Cheap to repair if you know what your looking for, buy the stuff online and replace things by yourself. Amazing car to drive though. Not a Toyota in terms of reliability though ;)

i would add that the electric assembly is often not tight enough.

Same issue with cabin light, and sunroof switch.

Wrong coolant

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Correct, I missed the green instead of the RED!

[@JamiePaterson4]

Noticed that too.

[@badfisssh41]

Ive owned this model for 5 years now. Here are your common problems. Yes the glove box hinge is garbage. Carbon build up in high mileage. Erratic turn signal switch. (On mine, i signal right and it sometimes signals left) Ignition coil packs. These will most definitely cause problems. Although they are very easy to replace. Manual transmission. The release bearing on my clutch went on mine. Had to replace both the clutch and flywheel even though the main parts were in great condition. The timing belt. This is a very pricey fix and should be done every 60k miles. I did it myself, and the parts alone cost me 900. Shop prices are around 3000 for the job, but that should include water pump, all belts, pulleys, etc.. The variable intake manifold roller is plastic inside the intake manifold. Guaranteed that on any 3.0 with over 80k miles it has worn out and broken apart. Dont know why audi would make this part plastic? Mines broken... Its a 500 part and not worth the money or stress replacing it for 15hp. In the end, like the video said. Great car and not so bad to work on. You just need to know what to look out for. The engine also sounds fantastic with the addition of a subtle performance exhaust. Hope this post can shine some light on you purchase.

The car is so stable and refined and I love it.

[@alessandrokremers4806]

I think you had a very bad 3.0. Timing belt costs are less than 300 dollars if you buy a continental timing belt set (better than original) including rolls and waterpump. Only real known problem are the 6 ignition coils, but every audi b6 3.0 has a recall action at the dealer for free. Carbon build up is because the bad patrol in the USA. You always have to refuel RON98. Glove boxes are not built for heavy stuff or not to lean on it.

[@Callofdutydeluxe]

The glove back hinges break because of a piston on the right hinge of the glove box, this pistol fouls or clogs causing to much pressure and then it breaks, also its clear this particular model has been cheaply maintained, using "green" universal coolant in VW's and Audi's can be very bad for the cooling system as it hardens and sticks to components in the cooling system unless a proper flush was done, doing a proper flush isn't as cost effective as just using factory coolant. not to mention cars that haven't been crashed (in that particular area) or repainted (in that particular area) have a 12 year rust and corrosion warranty with no mileage or transfer of ownership limitations, they replace the entire panel (if possible) and repaint it to match your car 100% free of charge. Audi's are undoubtedly the most expensive car to maintain, i was talking to a friend that said he can do two full break jobs on his Porsche for the price of one Audi break job, believe me i own one.

[@XxMadRiverxX]

This is why I spray my hinge with WD 40 every other month just to lubricate it and prevent mine from breaking

[@DaytonCarCare]

LoL Really?? I work on Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VW. Porsche is definitely the most expensive and a PITA to maintain.

You are correct the lower front wheel wells are a week spot for all Audi's and VW. Further more they will rust out underneath the plastic shrouds and should be removed to see what is going on under the car.

[@peekaboo4390]

@@automotiveadbuilder I think you are full of shit, and have no clue about Audi issues at all.

[@peekaboo4390]

Not necessarily aftermarket body parts are the cause ... they all rust on the lower from wheel wells, the passenger side gets more road salt and that is why yours has rusted out. The glove box is a really poor design, they all fail. The Bosch 5.7 ABS module will fail they all do but can be repaired for around 400 dollars. Repairing the suspension can be a pain as it is mostly aluminium with steel bolts and overtime these metals will corrode together and become a real pain to remove. Expect electrical issues. For DIY'ers there are many sources for parts but never go to the dealership for them, that ABS module will run you $3000. The B6 3.0 AVK engine is certainly not a race monster but is reliable if it has been loved( oil changes on time with the right oil. If you find one with a standard transmission you are lucky as the CVT is usually done with a medium milage car...lots of issues there. If you are handy( and patient) you can do most if not all the repairs but once done the driving experience is second to non.

[@179077]

Oops that should read 170000 miles - things that go wrong rear wiper motor,air con compressor turbos ( mine is unusual as it's the original) solenoid on tailgate - nothing too drastic and I will be replacing it with either a B7 or B8 - serving at a decent specialist £225 - I have it done every 10-11k mine is 2003 reg and will get no more than 1.5k if I'm lucky so £2-3k should get you a really nice one

[@XxMadRiverxX]

@auto ad builder the reason why the ABS and the TSC lights are on, is because the Steering Position Sensor behind the steering wheel is bad. These go bad from time to time. Also, put some gas in that thing, and always fill up at half tank reason I say this, is because the gas keeps the fuel pump cool. The faster the fuel pump works trying to pump up gas into the fuel lines, the more hotter it gets which can lead to burning out your fuel pump (this applies to any vehicle.) Glad my car is in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing... Good lord...

[@peekaboo4390]

Could be bad, but not necessarily the steering angle sensor for these ABS warnings. if your fuel pump is not getting enough cooling you tank is empty...good lord

Yeah okay. Do your homework

[@chasethefeel]

Do more audi 3.0 b6 videos

[@automotiveadbuilder]

I own a B5 S4 now. One of the Audi Ad Builder crew is looking at B6s or 7s so.....

[@torryjackson]

Hi My Audi A4 base model 2004 it over heat ones and now won't start help

[@automotiveadbuilder]

You might have blown the engine. The last thing you want to do is over heat an engine. It causes cracks in the head gasket that allows coolant in the oil.

[@badfisssh41]

You warped the head. Throw your car out. Lol. 2 things that will always kill your car.... drive with no oil and drive with it overheated.

[@martinee4901]

The Crankshaft Position Sensor often goes bad at above 60°C ( when it goes bad) replace, it's cheap, it will put up a code on OBDii that tells you this is the problem.

Audi is best ☝️

[@eltapia2012]

What kind of motor oil use on a 2003 audi a4 Quattro 3.0

[@badfisssh41]

Just use 5 30. Originally they came with a 0-30 but that oil is too thin in my opinion. Youll be adding oil every week.

[@koocie2008]

i want to buy an A4 2004 in colombia and the owner tell me that the CVT gear box needs to be mantained. its normal or i mustn´t buy that car.

[@ermz13]

can someone help me out learning more about audi's, I'm trying to purchase an A4, preferably 2004-2005, just want a couple pointers on what to look for. Thanks.

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Hmmmmm I thought that was what I made the video for????

[@ermz13]

Auto Ad Builder are 1.8 similar in the pointers from the 3.0

[@ermz13]

Auto Ad Builder I'm planning to buy one soon by the end of this week, just want go make sure I make a good purchase

[@automotiveadbuilder]

1.8Ts can have issues with oil. A lot of people may not have done synthetic oil changes. Also you have to make sure the timing belt has been changed. I have come across a lot of them that run rough.

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Look at the cars history and the owner. How many owners? Paint work? I look at the owner more then the owner of the car I am buying from.

[@drunknmonk12]

Sounds like Regular Car Reviews

[@automotiveadbuilder]

What is your point exactly?

[@davidchishiba1528]

Hello my A6 has lost power on dashboard!

[@whatsup8464]

Air flow meter?

[@okiichii1285]

You sound like regular car reviews

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Who is that? You should watch my Car Hater Videos.

Where do you buy Audi parts for good prices

[@automotiveadbuilder]

I use ebay and for my older Audi's I also use blauparts. What year is your Audi? If it's a B6 I would use ebay.

[@XxMadRiverxX]

Craigslist, Forums, Ebay, ETC

[@DaytonCarCare]

Google is your friend for searching for online parts.

[@ReeMiiX]

how did you got orange foglights???

[@automotiveadbuilder]

How did I get the yellow fog lights you mean? They are yellow actually. With yellow film over the factory lenses.

[@ReeMiiX]

+Auto Ad Builder okey thank you

[@AlbanianKing33]

Hi i just bought an 2005 Audi A4 & i was wondering what causes my ac not to work? The person i bought it said that the coolant is probably emotes or it's the ac compressor. Can you give me any advice on what's the issue on why the ac won't work? things to fix before buying a whole new cooling system? Thank you!

[@bilalahmed2123]

Albanian Warrior same thing happened to me, probably low on Freon !

[@martinee4901]

Check the pressure switch, also the flap control motor potentialmeter.

[@h.sims2]

I'm getting into a B6 S4... the guy says there's a "small oil leak". What are your thoughts on this matter?

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Lol, no such thing as a small one. The problem is with the that V8 it is really hard to service. Not a lot of room with that engine. A lot of them have that oil issue. It also has the timing chain in the rear of the motor against the fire wall. So basically if it had to be serviced it has to come out. Thankfully most of time chains don't really require service, however I have heard some horror stories. Don't get me wrong I love that car and the way that chain in the 4.2 whines like a supercharger. I have also done some great driving maneuvers with that vehicle. It has the fun factor, usually fairly cheap price to own buying wise, but keeping that engine has an issue it can be costly. Its hard to pin point the oil leak, did he state where it is? Send me the link of the ad on my facebookfacebook.com/autoadbuilder/I would like to look at the car and the price.

[@DaytonCarCare]

Better off getting the 1.8T and doing APR or GIAC Stage tunes and bolt on mods. Maintenance will be easier.

[@TurdKutter]

stopped watching after I seen he had the green coolant 😭😂

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Why would you stop after seeing green coolant? That means some owner didnt know what they were doing.

[@allnfun6315]

Oh yeah, what do you think about the Audi AllRoads of similar years? Thanks

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Drove hundreds of them in my career. My favorite Audi size. This is a C5 Overview kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZOxdYGDnreSort8ere is one of my own vehicles it had 25psi kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKCxkKqHjtJoisk

[@Drip60]

Honestly they're not the best, and that's coming from a huge Audi fan, They're notorious for having a lot of issues.

[@afolabiidowu570]

Hi I'm planning to get an audi a4 2002 manual transmission.... Could pls advise me... Should I go ahead or is the car known for issues?

[@mmone1178]

Thank you soo much for giving alittle insight to Audi. I thought these cars were notorious for being expensive and not reliable.

[@automotiveadbuilder]

Out of the Big three it is the way to go. The Benz is way to much to fix and the Bimmer is just junk! Every car has its issues, most of the time it is the customer who is at fault for the cars problems.

[@daveandrew6703]

Auto Ad Builder Typical audi fan boy.

[@automotiveadbuilder]

dave andre Maybe so, but that has what my experience has been in the industry. I have driven thousands of cars and they all have similar traits.

[@daveandrew6703]

Auto Ad Builder As far as overall reliability and dependability, BMW consistently ranks higher than Audi. This has been the case for many years running. autos.jdpower.com/ratings/dependability-press-release.htm

[@automotiveadbuilder]

LOL, not in the real world. Everyone in the industry knows that they are junk. You need a warranty with that car because all you hear is chimes in them. The Range Rover was another one of there creations of junk also. Every BMW I start sounds like it needs an engine.

[@fulddakkedak1598]
