Stavross 15,350 Posted July 30 Author Report Share Posted July 30 I had an 09 plate A4 diesel,it was about 2 year old when I got it, put 80,000 on it and it was no bother at all, until one day the engine management light came on, after that it was one thing after another, I carried out some economic repairs to it ( wiring bodge ) and chopped it in at a garage for a Tiguan that only had 18k on the clock, the dealer never stopped ringing me about how I’d traded in a car that wasn’t fit for the road, in the end I just laughed at him and blocked his number, the Tiguan was a cracking motor, I put 100k on it and it never missed a beat, sold it to a mate about 18 months ago and bought a little van, his missus is using it now and it’s been no bother for her 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love the VW brand, the cars are solid and the interiors are super clean and well put together, not that cheap tacky feel like in a Jap motor. I would consider one again, definitely getting an auto next time mind. Edited July 30 by Pewit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They all breakdown at some point, I know a bloke that had an A4 and all he did was slag it off and said he’d never have another Audi they are sh*t, went out and bought a Skoda, brought it to show me telling me what an amazing car it was, looked a bit disappointed when I pointed out to him that’s it’s the same car as the A4 with a different badge on the front, VW group is massive, you’ve got, VW, SEAT, SKODA, AUDI, PORSCHE, LAMBORGHINI, BENTLEY, and probably a few others, I’m sure they are something to do with MAN and SCANIA on the commercial side and DUCATI motorcycles. It doesn’t matter what car you buy all manufacturers use each others parts, I bought a Volvo once with an engine fault turned out the engine was made be Renault 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t remember what engine was in it, it was probably around 2010, I’m sure I got an engine out of a Renault Laguna for it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
