I sympathize. I owned one for about 6 months, but I got rid of it when I really started digging into the forums and learning what exactly there was to go wrong.

Audi’s are ugly now and always have been ugly. Mercedes are beautiful now and have always been beautiful. BMW’s are fast and have always been fast.

For sure. The V10 TDI and RS6 aren't for everyone. Yeah, they aren't well engineered or well thought out. They are horribly impractical to fix. But it's VW! Part of their charm is they are so shitty they are good!

Im not sure there was a V10 tdi for America.

He is kinda right tbh

Charbel Sassine they're cheap to fix tho so u aren't gonna hundreds to thousands on some little plastic part

Patrik Hanc theres typically a cupholder in the center right behind the mirror controls as well. i think they removed it and moved that odd one in the armrest after the facelift.

It doesn’t sound that important but anytime I want to hit a drive thru I have to wipe soda off of my radio and around the gear lever when I get home so it doesn’t get all sticky. So annoying

@@carter865 well you Americans have huge sodas, meanwhile in Europe (and the rest of the world) has muuuch smaller. So for us these sizes are perfectly acceptable.

Egad he was talking about the placement of the cup holder not the size of them..

@@pgr0104 and rear cup holders are down in the rear seat

thats the thing with these german luxury cars. they feel very high quality. but they arent really. at least not in the mechanical department.

@@99Lezard99 Exactly, at least everything they have made in the last 20 or so years. IMO it reaches deeper than them not being high quality mechanically though, I believe they very deliberately engineer their cars to have a use-by date, with components specifically engineered to break down after a certain amount of use and time - so after say 5 years or whatever they become irritating to own, making the wealthy first-buyer simply trade it in on a new model. Engineered obsolescence is the term. I do think it's starting to catch up on them now though, more and more people are realising they are paying premium money for something that nobody wants to buy second hand, so they are losing a fortune in depreciation, and starting to consider other options. Even if you are wealthy losing $50,000 in depreciation in just 5 years of ownership doesn't feel smart.

Structure wish they are. Over engineered, but its let down buy its electronics. Yes Lexus is more reliable, but the european companies build stouter vehicles

@@bobspurloc nope, timing belt on the front. Did it 2x on my car. Most of their v8s were chains though.

well that's why it goes bad so fast lol. rockauto doesn't even list a timing chain, but has timing chain tensionsers

d000j0000 sounds personal

Most of Audi's petrol engines used belts rather than chains regardless of cylinder count. I've worked on many of these engines and they are surprisingly serviceable if you follow the typical strict German procedure. The front of the car is built in a very clever way where you remove the bumper cover which is very easy to do, the you undo a number of screws and swing the entire front end out in one big piece. All the hoses for cooling and wires are on one side where the 'hinge' point is, and the you can pretty much stand inside the front of the car with everything very easily accessible. On my car with a v8 TDI engine (chains not belts) everything is located between the engine and transmission, not a very fun procedure to get access to them compared to these models..
