Owned an Audi Q7. I became a baby sitter for the vehicle. Spent a great amount of time driving to the dealer for service. Computer was a mess, hard acceleration turning left caused a stall. Battery was under the drivers seat in a well. My wallet fell to the floor and bounced into the well. Impossible to retrieve. Called dealership and was told they employed a contortionist mechanic capable of doing the deed. He did but shows how often some such bounce occurred. Worst so called luxury vehicle I ever owned.

@oliverallen5324 Месяц назад

I had an Audi A6 3.0T, and the reason I sold it was because the dealer's service team I'd used for 5 years fell away. I had 2 guys I got a long with, and always gave me a break on parts and maintenance. Got a few free oil changes. Always sung their praises. I drove across the country in that car without issue. It's a space ship. After a point though I got new people and it was clear the magic that was there was gone. They charged me 900 to fix a tail light, only to ask for another 2000 to fix the other part for the same issue. Fishing for service charges. Mechanically the Supercharged V6 was great. It went 0-60 in 5.2 and if I trailed on the highway I got 38 mpg one time, normally around 33mpg. It was a nice clean car the whole time I had it, and I would buy it again if I found a better service center. Germans have electrical issues, but that's not unique to audi, that's BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, KTM, all of them. People get audis and then don't service them, then they cry they don't work.

@kresstek Месяц назад

Agreed most people do not do proper maintenance to German cars,,they run them into the ground and then just trade them in or sell them

@masonreppeto882 13 дней назад

@@kresstek No, German cars stop working on their own. You don't get to blame lack of maintenance on failing starters and tie rod bearings at less than 100k miles. They are no more reliable than American brands or kia. However, what's sad is kia actually has better reliability than BMW or VW. IF KIA cars weren't freaking death traps, I'd probably drive one if I couldn't get my hands on a Honda. BMW abandoned actual reliability 25+ years ago just like the American brands did.

Problem with older cars is they murder you in a low speed crash. Something you could walk away from in a newer car. Steering column shafted through drivers skull. Driver crushed into a mince meatball. Newer cars ~2010 can pass the small overlap crash test. Look up "small overlap crash test" for any car on youtube.

Love ya Scotty but you are wrong about taking the engine apart to replace the oil sensor on the Chrysler 3.6. I have the exact engine and with the exact issue and bought the part for $30 and socket for $10 and was able to remove the bad sensor and replace without tearing apart the engine. 120,000 miles and that is the only engine issue I have had but don't ask about the tranny.

@Roastbeef1707 Месяц назад

I had one of those 2014 Ford Focus with the faulty DCT and PCM. That was a real POS. The straw that broke the camels back was when it wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear in the middle of the morning rush hour traffic in the Bay Area. That was after Ford had replaced the clutch and PCM for either the 2nd or 3rd time. It jerked while it shifted from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Then the radio went out and randomly crackled and popped, even with the radio powered off.

Audi has 2 big connections under the hood for jump starting, so you don’t need to go to the trunk - only if you’re sure that you’ve got a battery at all. Also on some models there’s still a key hole on the trunk next to the opening switch, so you can open it if the battery totally dies, and the key is hidden in the key fob

Scotty, That beauty cover on the engine you complain about does have a function. It is there to shield the hood from the high heat of the engine which over time causes the paint on the hood to fail prematurely. Years ago, instead of the beauty cover, they used to have an insulation pad attached to the hood which was usually about a 1" thick piece of fiberglass insulating material.

I can't say anything about later Audis, but my 1999 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro was the best car I ever owned. I paid good money to keep it serviced, that cost more than a Toyota. It had one stupid feature - the pneumatic door locks also controlled the locking fuel door. If the impeller failed, you could not refuel the car. There was no release cable to open the fuel door.

@aussie2uGA Месяц назад

The Ford Powershift DCT was a dry design, where the clutches did not get bathed in oil. As they wore, the material had nowhere to go but gather at the bottom and on sections of the plates. This caused massive grabbing and slipping issues. This would happen as soon as 15k miles after the "repair" because it was just a bad design.

@thehighllama8101 Месяц назад

Yeah. Ford knew about the transmission issues before the Focus and Fiesta even went on sale to the public. Apparently, they had no transmission to replace the Powershift DCT, because it was specifically designed by Getrag to fit in the Focus/Fiesta (either that, or the Focus/Fiesta were designed with only enough space for the Powershift DCT).I suppose Ford thought they could fix the transmission issues somewhere down the road, via recalls. Or maybe they just thought, 'Screw the customers'. Anyway, none of the fixes Ford tried worked, because the Powershift is just an inherently bad design, like you said.

Around that year the VW TSI engines which i think is also in the A4, had issues with the camchain tensioners failing, chains would jump or snap wrecking the motors.

I have a Skoda VRS with the same engine and so upgraded it to the latest tensioner when i learnt of the issue.

I've had 4 VWs throughout my life time. All ran extremely well and no major problems, however, I was religious when it came to maintenance and took them to the dealership. More expensive, but in the long run it kept them going. I suspect that most of the Audi horror stories are about used Audis where the previous customers did not want to dish out the money to keep them running properly. The repairs are indeed expensive, but necessary. If you are going to buy a luxury car, you have to prepare for the higher cost of maintenance. If you can't handle that, then go with a VW....but still keep up with the maintenance, it's just less costly. If you are going to buy a used luxury auto. Don't buy unless you have complete records for maintenance.

My experiences with Dodge/Chrysler cars built since about 1990 or so is that no matter how much you maintain them or baby them they will still be unreliable and fall apart on you. They just use a lot of cheaply made components. I know people that have owned the 200C and that thing was flagrantly unreliable. Now in case you are one that claims you have one with the 2.4 with 500,000 miles and it's been a jewel to own for one I don't really believe you and two you are the 1 in 1 million that just got very lucky.
