2001 Audi A4 Reviews - Page 6 of 12

Since I bought the car there is a slight oil leak (about 2 drops per day) that is keeping my garage dirty. There is no impact to the performance of the car. I have changed oil and filter 4 times on this car and always ask to fix the leak problem, but it is still leaking. I will finally bring it to the Dealer next week for a full diagnostic (that will cost me $70USD) but want to get all solved now.

Other than that the car is excellent. No issues.

This car is the one I've got the most fun driving. I used to drive a Jetta, which is about the same chassis, but with the sport suspension, quattro and Tiptronic, this is the best car I've ever driven. Quick acceleration, cornering and braking. High performer. I would love to have power seats and the Bose audio package, but I've been told you cannot replace the Concert with a Bose. I would love to keep the car for another 10 years...

Around 40,000, needed brakes, rotors, the works. Tear has shown up in driver's seat (vinyl type). At 50,000 ball joints and are tie rods creaking. Parts and labour are $,1200! I have a feeling it will get too expensive for me to maintain.

Smooth ride! Feels like it's floating over the road. Sharp looking inside and out. It's a nice size sedan. Plenty of power, even when climbing and passing in mountain passes in 5th gear. Quattro handles very well in nasty snow and ice conditions. Paint wear has been outstanding. I had a heavy garage door come crashing down on it. Not a scratch or dent!!

The engine light went off, due to a fuel mixture that wasn't lean enough.

O2 sensors went bad, and were replaced.

Brake light went off; brake pads were replaced.

That's about it, nothing too major.

The car is lightly modded with OEM Carbon Fiber hood, Eibach pro kit (1.2" lowered), Blitz Turbo timer FATT DC II, Neuspeed dual slash tip style 2.5" cat back exhaust, Zimmerman cross drilled rotors, Hawk f/r HP plus road/race brake pads, V-series tires, Limo tint (rear windows), and reset the stock Audi ECU, raising the boost from 0.6 bar to 0.9 bar.

Next upgrade will probably be a Evo air induction kit.

Next major upgrade will be a Giac X chip.

I was in the market to buy an Audi A4 or A6 until I started to read consumer reviews. It is really disturbing that year after year these cars require frequent repairs. I have always wanted a German car, but now I will have to wait until I can afford a BMW.

I would like to thank everyone that posted their experience of the Audi models.
