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.

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

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

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?

Also the multitronic gearboxes on Quattro models don't last

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.

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?

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?
