Hey there, I'm new here as I found this forum while trying to do some research of the apparent issues I've been informed of with the 2008+ A4's.
I have a friend who is an Audi mechanic, and he says they continually get the B8's in to replace the CVT gear boxes!
As well as:
- Water Pumps
- EGR Valves and Coolers
- Alternator Pulleys and Belts
- Wheel Bearings
- Ball Joints
- Control Arms
I thought I would also ask online as well, to see if this is really such a large scale issue that has been made out to be. How many of you have encountered issues with these cars.
I'm going for a CVT thing as most of my driving lands me in traffic, and more often than not I get over the manual thing. I test drove the 2008 2.7TDI and I loved it!
I just don't want to spend AU$40k on a car that'll end up costing me more money to repair issues. That's why I'm getting out of modified cars in the first place!
However, I am yet to find a model of car that hasn't had issues. It just seems that these ones seem to be make or break!
Through my reading online, a lot of the issues seem to radiate from the B6/B7 Audi's, and I don't seem to be able to find as much on the B8's. Does that mean that it has been mostly sorted? And my friend is encountering a bunch of lemons?
I do know that you hear less about happy owners than you do about unhappy owners, as they're the ones that tend to need to speak out about things for help!
