AVOID These 3 Audi Engines (And The 4 Worth Buying)

AVOID These 3 Audi Engines (And The 4 Worth Buying) Not all Audi engines are created equal. Some will run 200,000+ miles with basic maintenance. Others will grenade at 60,000 miles and cost more to fix than the car is worth. I've pulled engines from $22,000 S4s that needed $18,500 in timing chain work. I've seen $12,000 A4s that blew up three months after purchase. I've also watched customers hit 210,000 miles on their S4 with only $3,000 in total major repairs over ten years. Video covers: ✓ The 2009-2013 2.0 TFSI catastrophic oil consumption and timing chain failure ($14,800 repair) ✓ Why the B6/B7 S4 4.2L V8 timing chains will bankrupt you ($18,500+ engine-out repair) ✓ The 2.5L V6 TDI diesel that needs $9,000 in repairs before 150k miles ✓ How the Gen 3 2.0 TFSI (2013+) fixed everything and became reliable ✓ The 2.5L TFSI inline-5 that won Engine of Year 9 times (RS3/TT RS) ✓ Jeremy Clarkson's favorite: the 4.2L V8 FSI with zero NHTSA recalls ✓ Ward's 10 Best winner: the 3.0T supercharged V6 that hits 250k+ miles ✓ Specific engine codes, years, and maintenance to maximize longevity If you're shopping for a used Audi, looking to avoid catastrophic repair bills, or want to know which engines are actually worth buying, this video breaks down exactly what to look for and what to run from.
