1998 Audi A4 review from UK and Ireland
"A great experience"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
MAF Meter just given up at 130,000 miles, and a catalytic converter.
This is to be expected as they are very delicate pieces of equipment.
My experience of Audi's (I've had 3 with a combined mileage of almost 1/2 a million to date) is that they are pretty much bullet proof. However if regular and correct maintenance isn't carried out problems will arise.
General comments?
Wonderful motorway and b-road car. The car has brilliant handling and stops on a dime. With the proper and undelayed maintenance the car will easily hit 250,000 miles before any engine work i. e injector replacement. they don't NEED to be replaced, but 250,000 miles of pumping diesel can take its toll! Saying that, the engine is very quiet for 135,000 miles. I'll certainly be getting another one.
