Most underrated channel on YouTube. You should be one of the top car channels. All the information in this video must have taken many hours, I'm sure. I thank you very much for all your efforts. This has been very, very informative. Subscribed.

I bought a 2013 Audi A4 B8 Facelift having 197.000 km. I replaced the following parts:
- Torque converter (1.000 Eur)
- EGR valve (~ 400 eur)
- Brake pump (~ 400 eur)
- Shock absorbers (500 eur)

I still own it at 250.000 km and it's running well.

Great video as always and the new improvements to video editing as superb. Could you please consider making videos on Skodas, Volvos and other popular cars in EU?

Love your videos you are the only one who makes me think hard of a car I want to buy :)

I had an 07 Audi A4 and it was a constant disappointment in terms of reliability. Lots of recalls, electrical issues and a problematic turbo. At just over 50K miles, the turbo failed completely--a $4, 000 repair. From an engineering standpoint, there's no excuse for this. The 2.0 turbo has been around forever. You'd think that, by now, Audi/VW would have this engine sorted out. The fact that you have to tell consumers about all the problems Audi owners face is unfortunate. BTW, your video is very thorough.

Thank you so much for such a detailed buyer's guide. It is extremely helpful

More than 2, 5 years ago I watched this great informative video and bought a 2014 Audi A4 2.0 TDI (177 ps), with multitronic and with 210.000km. As the timing belt needs to be replaced at 210.000 km, I directly did this and also changed the oil in the transmission. (About €800, - total iirc) Now, I'm 2, 5 years further and it has 270.000 km. I replace the engine oil every 15.000 km and use Forte diesel treatment (€20 per bottle) once in a while. I had no issues so far with this car, it turns out to be very reliable! No engine issues, no multitronic issues (that's my biggest fear though, looking at the complexity) and no electronic issues! :)
Thanks for making these videos, it really helps before buying a used car!

By the way, it would be nice if you do a review for the Audi A4 B9 :)

I have a Audi A4 1.8 TFSI 2008 sedan - purchased it off the shelf and run 125kms she is good as new and some times the turbo shutter when I push the peddle at low rpm. But over all a amazing car.

Thank you VERY much for this video. Currently looking at a 2014 A4 manual with 110k miles (post facelift and 2014 refresh). It's in very good shape, no rust anywhere. The young age and high miles means it was mainly a highway driver, no concern for stop-n-go wear. Very comfortable car and easy stick (not super sporty like a GTI, which is my main ride). Spasiba!
