I have VW Jetta diesel and will likely have the vehicle bought back by VW due to this emissions mess they're in. With the settlement, I'm going to buy a 2013-2015 Audi A4. I was wondering if anyone here could help me with the following questions:


1. The erWin information. Their prices for the info are ridiculous. I was able to download the factory manuals for my Jetta through another subscription based company for quite a bit less. Is there someone besides erWin that has this information? I do have the Ross Tech software and it worked well on the VW and I'm assuming it will also on the Audi.


2. Is the oil consumption problem with the 2.0 liter turbocharged Audi engine truly fixed past the 2012 model year?


3. I've seen references here to problems with the intake manifold on these same engines. Could someone explain to me exactly what the problem is with these intake manifolds and if there is a TSB that covers it?


Thanks very much for any time and help.

Okay. This forum appears to me to have a good amount of knowledgeable people concerning Audis. What it it? My breath? These are not arcane, difficult questions.

Personally, I think the 2.0T is good engine. Good power, efficient with the 8spd transmission. My '11 A4 still consumes oil even with the Stage 1 fix but it's not enough to create alarm. I'd estimate that our '15 Q5 consumes 1 qt of oil over a 10k mile interval.


Welcome aboard, 56 !

Thanks for the time and information Uberwgn. From what I've been able to learn about it, the 2.0 liter engine has very few reliability issues.
