Worst Audi to own at high milage 😳💥🔨💰

[@lutha1720]

As an Audi owner who has had 3 audis reach 200k km, oil changes are important and the timing chain kit needs to be replaced at 100 -120k km and the 2.0tfsi will develop an oil burning problem and a pcv issues and a carbon clean up. Never had oil leaks on a3 4 and 5 the tappet cover is quite common not much a problem. At some point you will have to change the coolant expansion tank because the sensor fails overtime the water pump must be done at the same time as the chain. If you got an auto you will have to change the gearbox oil and filters every 5 years or 100k km.

[@luyandajojo8925]

Correction... Gearbox oil change is every 60,000km

[@victorl.siyaya9513]

No Audi video like this is complete without mentioning the gearbox mechatronics issue and the water pump failure, but especially the mechatronics gearbox!

[@phelelanikhuluse8840]

worst part is when Audi fails to fix the mechatronics...

[@thembamkhwanazi1999]

Sbonge mfwethu, asizwe nge renault manje particularly the 0.9 engine in their clio and sandero

[@obie_offishal]

May you please do the same reviews with BMW and Mercedes Benz cars?

[@bonganimazibuko1901]

Audi A5 with the b8 engine has to be number 1. I remember Audi quoting me 95k to redo the gearbox. 😂. I was dizzy for like a week 😂, good times tho

[@edwinshimmy6123]

Thank you so much Mr Mumbo for that insightful information 👍🏾 👏🏾

[@princemaisela7907]

Can you do a video on the Audi S3 8V2. Common problems, maintenance required and if they’re good cars to own high mileage/ long term wise

[@Gomolemo_Led_]

Could you please make a video of the cars you recommend for south African students specifically.

[@thulaneking-priest6229]

Thanks for a great video. I have a 1.8 tfsi from 2014 and have 240 000 kilometers. The main issue is with the oil leak in the front plastic cover. What's the permanent solution?

[@michaelmashele867]

Yep! iam an A4 victim. But amazingly I moved from A4 to q4.. Sucker for pain😂

[@nicholassdlamini2384]

First😂😂😂😂all the way in Eswatini.

[@ntobekohandelfaya8745]

Thank you my brother for making us to think wise

[@furn2313]

Please make this a series on your channel.

[@The_way777]

This type of content is amazing.

[@kabelo1986]

These are well known problems.. I wonder why these problems don't seem to affect VWs seeing that they are one in the same thing

[@ntokozodanca4538]

Thanks for the informative information

[@Ooo-nu6ot]

Spot on. All that 1st years of Audi b8 petrol cars are problems and the Quattro tdi gearboxes

[@franciscojordan861]

Thanks for this video. Appreciate it.

[@martinoanyane1294]

Good day sir... I am really loving your work and how detailed you are with schooling your followers... I would like to hear your opinion or if you can post a video on the 2014 audi s3 sport back... With let's say 120k kms on the clock and has a service history upto date with Audi service center. Your response will be highly appreciated.

[@luzukokhazi696]

Love your work🩵🔥🔥!!!!

[@Mike_365]

Hola, kindly do a good or worst high milage double cab to own

[@fannieditshego6532]

Are you referring to the B8 or B8.5 or both? From my experience, the oil issue is mainly with the B8

[@jaymhlurbaloyi7813]

what about the 2l golf and scirocco engines?

[@tshepomorobane6617]

Hi there can i buy a S3 with 100km if yes does it also give problems

[@latsolatso6378]

Thank you

[@manelisimagazi4830]

Where is your workshop sir?

[@ozzi4627]

Bottom line is,you dont own an AUDI outside a maintainance plan or if you not mechanically inclined or if you dont work for the brand. No such thing as a worse cars to own especially big brands like this but rather bad owners....German cars like this you have to maintain with 90% OEM parts for it to last no shortcuts which many people think they can get away with.

[@borismkhwanazi583]

The problem with my audi a3 1.8 T burn oil too much ,merchtronic after engine overhaul run perfect parts are expensive

[@mthunzidube1423]

Hi,someone is selling a 2015 A5 2.0 TFSI for dirt cheap. I went to check it, it produced white smoke when starting and the dipstick is broken, guy claimed he just had it rebuilt but l know better, checked oil cap, surprise surprise oil and water same whatsapp group, mixing goed. There was also another head in the boot, suspicious, either he took it to Bra Vusi and Bra Vusi did a kaak job or l dont know. I am thinkin of taking the risk to buy it and maybe fix the engine or get another engine, its a really nice car. I also heard it used the same engine as the Golf 6 GTI, maybe l can source one and throw it in there, what do you think?

[@toppykgothatso3306]

Can you do worst Chevrolet or Lexus cars.

[@Ooo-nu6ot]

Also the multitronic gearboxes on Quattro models don't last

[@Sanz_1009]

..."soo".... Azishe baba😁

[@Ta_Lux]

Does this also apply to the 8v A3 1.4tfsi?

[@lutha1720]

Yes it does these are common issues across the entire audi line up enjoy your car and look after it.

[@321ror]

Timing chain is the EA888 platform. EA113 platform has the timing belt. Perhaps you can elaborate on the problems areas between the 2 different platforms which are 2.0 tfsi

[@luthandomathangana7272]

How about a A3

[@sinvulasinvula7074]

Just service your car en look after it every car got issues..lets not misled each other

[@dalisukhanyile9651]

Where is your shop based Sir...?

[@martinoanyane1294]

Co-asking...

[@lekgwarengsehlodimela572]

Lets do the opposite of the video, which audi car to buy, beside the 2.0 tdi

[@lutha1720]

No man chief the audi tdi are bulletproof engines I only experienced the common egr and dpf issues on my 2012 a4 either than that the car was amazing and problem free

[@lekgwarengsehlodimela572]

@lutha1720 please read my reply again. For context, the reason i mentioned the 2.0TDI its because he already mentioned it in previous videos

[@nomathembamthethwa8396]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@tsaki_titan]

Worst Audi to own at own?

[@ncedosomana2896]

Currently experiencing an oil leak after replacing the timing chain at 148 000 km and the is a white smoke coming from the exhaust when driving off ,but it doesn't at idle. There is also an EPC light flashing and the car sometimes shuts itself off when i am driving. Any recommendations?

[@Mumborepairs]

Hi timing chain cover could possibly not be sealed correctly

[@Sanz_1009]

Had a similar issue on A4 B7 2005/6 EPC Light came on & the car lost power. The cracks sensor was busted. Don't lnow if newer Gen audi's still suffer from this though

[@moffatk7948]

Well said Mumbo. These facts on these cars have proven to be true, no matter, there's a few owners that may dispute or deny that they have not encountered these problem, maybe its a matter of when and not if. Now how about the A3 and the VW that use these same engines taking into consideration that these engines are used interchangeably between these brands. Which year models are the worst?

[@rethabilelehlaha7615]

worst VWs please
