Potential a5 coupe buy 2.0 petrol

[bradh]

Good morning guys I’m potentially looking to buy a 2009 a5 coupe with the 2.0 petrol turbo engine , I’m guessing it’s the tsi as the power is 208bhp

are ther any issues with these engines like there is with the tfsi engine ??

any other things I should look at while looking around the car

cheers brad

Oil consumption on these tfsi engines. Check the stickies and Google as its a very well known issue. I have the first of the 2.0 tfsi that don't have this issue (2012); it does use a litre/1000km, which is 'expected'. If you can, check if this car has had the piston rings sorted, or try to budget for a post 2012 model.

I have the 2010 A5 with the 2.0
So far 155,000 kms and a stage one tune . Don't know if the rings have been sorted prior , but with 270hp
and spirited driving , it uses 1 L every 5000 kms .. So I guess it"s pot luck with these engines . I get 7/8 L consumption per 100 Kms .
