2010 2.0Tfsi Quattro engine failure

[quattrogone]

Well I was lucky on this one as we had agreed a price last week and the guy was willing to hold it for a £50 deposit, this morning whilst I was on the train traveling from Devon to Braintree he gets an offer of considerably more! Top guy stuck to our deal regardless, I had exactly the same scenario when I sold my B6 quatty last month so maybe there's such a thing as karma
To answer your questions Harley, it's a private sale and mileage is 87k
Car is mint as described, epic to drive, feels like a really heavy car but doesn't drive like it if that makes sense... absolutely love the weight that the steering has and yeah I know it's a quattro and I've had loads but this just feels really planted and tight. Another bonus is the stainless aftermarket exhaust that's fitted! Pure purr burble Burble. Right off to bed as only just got home and I have a 5.45 start this morning

Love that, exhaust is a bonus.

I had a B6 190 s line Quattro a few years ago,

good cars.

btw I’m up at 04:45 min-fri

Could somebody please clarify this for me?

obviously a lot of 2.0 tfsi cars have been to Audi for engine work following on from excessive oil consumption. I’ve read that commonly Audi have replaced piston ring and pistons. Would it be expected or the norm, to also replace the con rods as well? Or wound this suggest a more catastrophic engine failure??

many thanks

I wasn't the owner when Audi did the work on my (now ex car) . It was probably one of the earlier repairs so may not have included conrods. Whether the later repairs did, I can't say. You'll need to see the job sheet from a current owner who had the job done.

 

[harley141213]

I got an email copied to me from Audi in Lincolnshire confirming the work has been done

I've just put a deposit down on an A4 TFSI Allroad with the CDNC engine, the car's had pistons and conrods replaced by Audi but not the camchains etc as far as I can see from the paperwork. I would have thought they'd always have new conrods as to transfer the conrods onto new pistons is a lot of unnecessary labour.

 

[harley141213]

That’s good. Hope you enjoy ands all’s well.
I’ve just collected my tfsi A4 dynamik today. Advertised as having chains and oil pump done. I pressed the seller re the oil consumption issue as there was no paperwork for it. He contacted Audi and they have confirmed engine was rebuilt so all good

Im going through a rebuild at the moment my mechanic tells me audi updated pistons and used a larger conrod pin (21mm vs 23mm)

il have a go when I get home from work. Not sure how to upload them really.

 

[quattrogone]

Click on the grey box next to "post reply" that says upload an image and then it will ask you to "choose file"

 

[harley141213]

Yeah tried that last night. Chose a pic to upload. Asked me what size then nothing just blank screen

I’ll try it again later

 

[quattrogone]

Once you have clicked on upload you have to just wait a min as there's a little icon that appears top right of the screen that show's it's thinking about it lol!
Took me a while before I even noticed it...

There, managed 1

 

[quattrogone]

Sweet! looks like the front brakes have bitten on a bit hard though lol!

 

[harley141213]

How do you mean?

 

[quattrogone]

your car is parked backside up in the air lol!

 

[quattrogone]

There that's better...

 

[harley141213]

Told you I’m crap with tech stuff, my phone were right way up when I took pic.
When I seen your comment I thought
“ how can he see the brake discs?”

They work fine but mr Mot man gave an advisory previously for slight lip on them.

On my list of. things to sort

 

[quattrogone]

Get yourself some drilled discs when you replace them, I put some ebay ones on that came with Mintex pads and they were a great improvement! (fitted on a mk1 VRS)

 

[harley141213]

Yes, think I know the ones... I put some MTEc drilled n grooves on my his Vectra b a few years ago. Decent brakes and looked good behind the wheels. Think they were about £320 if I remember right?

 

[quattrogone]

IIRC full set of discs and pads was around £200 delivered off ebay, all my mates rinsed about them saying they were going to be going to be rubbish at the price I paid but to be fair they stayed true and never warped..

 

[jdp1962]

I fitted MTEC discs all round on my B7. Fronts were drilled. Did about 20,000 miles on them before replacing it with the S4. They were good as gold.
