The Audi 4.2 Cdra Achille`s heel

The 2011 CDRA found in 2011 audi A8 and A8L rarely survives a thermostat replacements. This is why I won`t do thermostat replacement without changing this other part as well.

Hello man thanks for video I have a question about audi a8 d3, there are many mistake lights on control panel like as abs esp and big attention sign. But no sign of malfunction because car is move good, how can I fix and delete this mistakes and what should I do

[@zephaudi]

i have 4.2 2006 a8 (d3) and there is P2093. Abs randomly come and go and also parking brake.

[@Veikra]

code unrelated to your problem. Do you lose speedometer?

​@@Veikrano speedometer loss

​@Veikra I look at ur abs video maybe it's the wiring corroded or something of sort. And maybe parking brake is the motor

Hi from dubai. Can you suggest which audi car are reliable. Is A4 2.0t 2011 reliable.

[@Veikra]

any 2.0T before 2013 is less reliable. timing chain issues, cam followers, oil consumption. 2.0T in Q5 have turbo problems. I would aboid 2.0T altogether but they are in everything. 3.0T are usually very good in most models. I personally like the 4.2 in the 2004 to 2007 audi a8. It`s not only reliable for an audi, its reliable for any brand. Could be a toyota. 586 000km on mine still doesnt burn oil and I constantly see them in the 300 000 to 400 000km range doing just fine.
