Air leak on drivers window seal at 37,000 miles. Not fixed by dealer.
Rear speakers wouldn't play at 37,000 miles. Fixed free of charge by dealer
Electrical fault at 48,000 miles - Door self locked with keys inside, very annoying, hazard flashers came on & stayed on and indicators turned lights on. Fixed free under dealer warranty.
Rubber door protection strip needed replacing at 52,000 miles. easy £17 part replacement.
The Audi A4 was my next choice following a Mercedes which was good but their dealer service was awful.
The Audi A4 1.8 is a great car to drive but the engine is a bit harsh sounding over 2800 rpm for comfortable motorway driving.
This review is well written and seems honest and similar to my own experience.
Had a 00 A4 1.8. Grand car overall. Agree that there is a bit of a 'hard' edged note to the engine at higher revs, but it is kind of sporty, although not that quick. Instrument binnacle failed at 10,000 miles (speedo and rev counter) and was replaced under warranty. Otherwise I spent a trouble free two years and 48k miles with this car!
