@@bully5aw I worked in sales for 4 years and never encountered or heard of any issues to be honest. I think like anything, regular oil changes and being mechanically sympathetic always helps as does decent fuel! Most diesels suffer turbos snd EGR cooler problems at some stage but it’s not specific to the BiTurbo.
Mawawa Thom thanks, I have no plans to stop, videos are the most important tool we have for selling cars and i just want to make better videos and sell more cars 😎
Very nice video! I want to buy one but i am not sure wheter i should buy the 3.0 bitdi with the tiptronic or the 3.0 tdi with around 270bhp and stronic. Is the power difference hard noticable and would you prefer the fast stronic or the smooth tiptronic?
both are fantastic, but bi turbo is awesome, i like the smooth tiptronic box, i never drive fast or am in need of anything savage, i prefer comfort and quiet
Tiptronic 100% by far more reliable and more engaging. The tiptronic transmission is the most reliable from Audi so far, then multitronic will be second and then the S tronic the least reliable.
With one turbo providing the low end boost the car tends to feel out of breath when accelerating hard to above 80 mph. On the BiTDi with two turbos optimized for low and mid-high, the acceleration to very high speeds is seamless. One would expect very similar behaviour with a petrol turbo. So an Impreza with a turbo optimised for ultimate performance suffers badly from low-end turbo lag.
Audi's in particular are sensitive to wheel size. My car rides better and crashes into potholes less on 17"'s then on 20"'s. I also have SE suspension rather than S-line sports suspension. With this set-up the ride is fine.
@@jayjohnson-t2y It depends on what one has driven before and how you drive it. I am a slow-in, fast-out driver and do not find the body-roll bothersome. If you want to experience real-g-forces then you need an RS6!
Had one of these on a two year lease. Really sad when it went back. Epic performance.
yes, the drive is hard to better
Great review. Your video was one reason I bought one recently. 2016 Bitdi. Thank you, love the car.
This car still drives fabulous even at 140000 miles. I can vouch for that.
if its been well serviced and looked after the engine will run forever
Cracking engine that… I drove a few when I worked for Audi and they sound fabulous!
that they do
Is there anything you should look out for on these when buying one? Any common faults? You said you worked for Audi. Cheers.

That tiptronic 8 gearbox seems very good.
The bi turbo engine is awesome, and being coupled to a silky smooth gearbox makes the car an unbelievable drive
Hows the ride is the e class better
it's a little different, you can feel the road more through the Audi, but some people won't like that

@@johnbentall5105 hows the body roll is it lean alot?

Is that the standard exhaust system that comes with every BiTDI or has it got an optional Audi active exhaust system? Sounds awesome!
That's standard if you buy the BiTDI, had it in my allroad for 5 years and loved it
Thought the quattro was S Tronic??
BiTDi has a torque converter
