The engine is rubbish, I can confirm that.
Other issues: electronic handbrake, power steering pipes, electric windows; all gave expensive problems also.
To top it all off, there are drains at the front of the windscreen, where the electronics are mounted, that block. This is under the cover that sits under where the wipers are driven from. This area filled with water as a result of the drains blocking, and the electronics fried themselves. Total and utter rubbish car, will never buy an Audi again. Pure muck.
Saying that, I do have a couple of classic models, but they were built in an era when Audi took pride in their work.

I gave the example of the issues with the inadequate engine design in as much detail as I could for the benefit of any potential buyers that might be stung. The other issues I have had with this mediocre/sub standard vehicle are:
Power steering hoses failing. 200 euro + each to replace.
Boot door latch failing, pricey to fix.
The drain at the base of the compartment under the windscreen blocks. There's no indication of this issue until the carpets inside the car are soaked. At this stage the electrics are swimming in water. Rough idle, electrical gremlins start. Eventually, the car fails to start. 1100 euro later, this is sorted.
There were other issues, but I think there should be enough there to, hopefully, put anyone off buying this rubbish car.
