AUDI A4 YEARS TO AVOID AUDI A4 B9 Saloon (8W2, 8WC) (05.2015 - ...)
@Graziana Venturi11.06.2025 13:26@paulroberts89AUTODOC expertFor the Audi A4 B9 (2015 - ...), there are generally no "years to avoid" as there were with some earlier generations of the A4 (e.g. the 2008-2011 B8, known for its oil consumption issues).
The B9 model is considered more reliable. However, as with any used car, there may be nuances:
Diesel engines (2.0 TDI): May experience DPF and EGR valve issues, especially with frequent short trips. Turbocharger issues are also possible.
Petrol engines (2.0 TFSI): Despite improvements over previous generations, there are still rare reports of increased oil consumption after 150,000 km and timing chain stretching after 200,000 km.
Water pump and coolant leaks: This is a relatively common problem for 2.0 TFSI engines.
Infotainment: Some owners report glitches, screen flickering, and connectivity issues.
Cabin noise: In some cases, there may be creaking or rattling sounds from interior trim elements.
When buying a used Audi A4 B9, regardless of the year, be sure to have the car fully inspected by a specialist service. This will help identify potential problems before purchase.

Hey folks, just wondering which years of the Audi A4 should I steer clear of?
Any specific models to avoid? Cheers!
