2009 Audi A4 Avant: what owners report

• US owners report heavy oil burning on the 2.0 TFSI in 2009-2011 A4s, often around 65,000 miles, sometimes ending in a new engine. This is an engine fault shared by all A4 bodies, not specific to the Avant.2009–2011
• In German TÜV data for the A4 and A5 together, brake lines on 12-13-year-old B8 cars fail more than twice as often as average (not body-specific).2008–2015
• Polish press, drawing on a long-term test, names the B8's Multitronic CVT automatic as its main weak spot, with costly failures. This applies to all A4 bodies.2008–2015
• On B8 TDI diesels, Polish press reports worn dual-mass flywheels causing power loss and costly leaks in the exhaust gas recirculation system (A4-wide).2008–2015
