Audi A4 2010

2010 Audi A4: what owners report

• Early B8 2.0 TFSI engines can burn oil heavily, some needing a top-up every few hundred miles; worn piston rings are blamed and fixes ran from rings to a whole engine.2009–2011
• The Multitronic CVT fitted to front-drive B7 and B8 cars is prone to slipping and mechatronic failure, mostly past 120,000 km, and a mechatronic repair costs about €2,000–4,000.2004–2015
• Corrosion is practically absent on the B9 and uncommon on the B8, and lights and brakes on both generations generally hold up well at inspection, though brake lines on 12–13-year-old B8s are flagged more often than average.2009–2021
