Heluim 2nd Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 Hi guys, anybody is driving audi a4 B8? What is the review so far and how has the car been like? Is the car reliable? Any issues with the Multitronic gearbox? Or any mechanical or electronic failures? So far i been driving Mitsubishi Lancer GLX CS3, a 2006 model i bought as a 3yr old second hand in 2009. Driving for 5 years+. Zero problem. Not sure if Audi will be able to give such a problem free experience too?? comments and review appreciated! Cheers everybody! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayoflight 5th Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 Really depends on heng suay.. Go read up on vagsg.. Every car mk got their set of unique problems... But seems like conti tends to hv more problems then jap.. Yet it really depends also.. My dad bmw f10 528i is problem free for 3yrs now.. No major issues at all. Just regular svc n maintenance. 1 thing to note is the cost of repairs of a jap vs conti make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightsky 1st Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 Short answer: No. If you are looking for absolute reliablity, you'd have better luck elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrynadz 5th Gear December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 (edited) second short answer : big fat no expect problem incidents to be tenfold and probably likewise for maintenance costs one gbox or engine failure alone is enough to do your lancer engine+gbox overhaul+full suspension overhaul+enough for full car grooming for cny go up the "progression ladder" slowly first , go for entry level conti car rather than jump to the big 3 german, sure die u just go sin ming, hang out at servotronic 1 day, u should get your answer better bring a wheelbarrow to pickup the shit brix Edited December 11, 2014 by Furrynadz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 Forget about it since you hardly know about Audi. I moved from Nissan Sunny to BMW 520 with my eye open as there are loads of comments about this car; Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heluim 2nd Gear December 13, 2014 Author Share December 13, 2014 (edited) i read tons of pages in VAGSG, as suggest. Not much problem for audi a4 B8 leh.. just some minor slight regular servicing most of the time. Edited December 13, 2014 by Heluim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
