Audi A4 2011 2.0 TDI vs 1.8T

[ChamaraW]

Appreciate your expert advice on Audi A4 2011 2.0 TDI and  1.8T models. Whether these engines and transmissions are reliable? What would be the maintenance cost?

the diesel will give you 15 kms per litre,but with age it is more likely to develop issues like oil leaks,oil consumption,DPF,Turbo leaks like any other Jap vehicle.Control arms in the suspension need to be replaced every 3-5 years of normal use for both versions, but they save the shock absorbers. it all depends on how the previous owner has maintained and used it.

If you are getting one, get one with  a good maintenance history. as tbelt replacements and atf changes are   vital .

The diesel gives you power and efficiency .
