Hello, friend! For 9 months, I've had exactly the same car without cruise control, even from the same year. I bought it with 169,000 km and now it's at 181,000 km. Could you give me some advice on what to watch out for? I've been reading forums where they really hate this engine and say it's problematic, but I haven't noticed anything like that. What do you think? (Mine doesn't consume oil at all.)

Only thing that require special attention is timing chain. You have to listen to it while starting cold engine. It there is no disturbing sounds from it than you are nothing to worry about. Just stay with regular oil changes (I suggest 10k or on year) and enjoy driving it ☺

Agree, despite it's quite old car it still looks and feels fresh kinda luxurious (as for compact car).

Hey Nice vid! Which radio do you have installed? Just bought the same car today with 130k km, drives great. Just wanna upgrade the radio to allow Bluetooth music and navigation. Thanks!

Some random 8core, 8gb with 128gb storage from Ali. IMO it is good enough 👍

My headlights are stock, and I am not 100% sure but LEDs are only with xenon headlights. With halogen it is just a regular bulb

Great video and great car! Would you happen to know if it suffers from oil consumption issues? I remember these were known for that.
@PureDrivingExperience7 ай бұрын
Thanks for that😊 and I had two cars with that engine (Octavia and A3), none of them had oil consumption issues! This audi does 12000 km (12 months) between oil change, and no issues whatsoever. Love this car 🙂

W moim przypadku to mocowanie radia wpada w taki rezonans. Chinakie radio ma dziwne zatrzaski ktore nie chca idealnie "siedziec". O ile o tym samym dzwieku mówimy 😉
@actinogamepl97202 ай бұрын
Witam, można link do radia? Oraz jak sie samochód sprawuje? Były jakieś poważniejsze usterki?
@PureDrivingExperienceАй бұрын
Link z którego kupione zostało radio jest już nieaktywny, ale tak jak pisałem w innych komentarzach pierwszy-lepszy 8core, 8gb with 128gb będzie dobry :) Auto sprawuje się super, przez 3 lata i 40tys km żadnych usterek, żadnego zużycia oleju i innych niepokojących rzeczy. Świetny silnik, świetne auto, polecam!

There is timing chain instead of a belt and yes it is a main reason of most problems in this engine
