Hello, friend! For 9 months, I've had exactly the same car without cruise control, even from the same year. I bought it with 169,000 km and now it's at 181,000 km. Could you give me some advice on what to watch out for? I've been reading forums where they really hate this engine and say it's problematic, but I haven't noticed anything like that. What do you think? (Mine doesn't consume oil at all.)
Only thing that require special attention is timing chain. You have to listen to it while starting cold engine. It there is no disturbing sounds from it than you are nothing to worry about. Just stay with regular oil changes (I suggest 10k or on year) and enjoy driving it ☺
@@PureDrivingExperience Thanks! I will follow your channel with interest! when I bought the car, I changed the chain and the oil as well as the spark plugs :)
Thanks! This multimedia screen is not original and unfortunately it doesn't have any name. It's just some random 8core, 8gb with 128gb storage from Ali
Thanks for that😊 and I had two cars with that engine (Octavia and A3), none of them had oil consumption issues! This audi does 12000 km (12 months) between oil change, and no issues whatsoever. Love this car 🙂
Hey Nice vid! Which radio do you have installed? Just bought the same car today with 130k km, drives great. Just wanna upgrade the radio to allow Bluetooth music and navigation. Thanks!
Nice video my friend 🔝
Thank you 🙂

Hello, very nice video! Can I ask if multimedia screen is original or not? If not, can you please share the model of multimedia?
Thanks! This multimedia screen is not original and unfortunately it doesn't have any name. It's just some random 8core, 8gb with 128gb storage from Ali
@@PureDrivingExperience Thanks! I think I can sort my search with these infos you just provided.
Nice interior, feels premium.
Agree, despite it's quite old car it still looks and feels fresh kinda luxurious (as for compact car).
Beautiful! Which oil filter and oil type do you use?
Thanks, I use Mann filter (W 712/94) and Millers Trident 5W30 oil.
Great video and great car! Would you happen to know if it suffers from oil consumption issues? I remember these were known for that.

Hey mate I like your video but I have a question , so the led front light are stock on every a3 sportback 2008-2012 or its a mod ?
My headlights are stock, and I am not 100% sure but LEDs are only with xenon headlights. With halogen it is just a regular bulb

Some random 8core, 8gb with 128gb storage from Ali. IMO it is good enough 👍
@@PureDrivingExperiencethanks , I believe most of the Ali radios are the same anyway 👍
@@PureDrivingExperience Can you operate the android head unit from the steering wheel?
@peteragocs9330 yes, all features works as intended
@@PureDrivingExperience Thanks for the reply! Can you send me a link maybe?
Nice video. Keep going ;)
Thanks, I appreciate that 😊
¿Este es que da problemas de correa destensada?
There is timing chain instead of a belt and yes it is a main reason of most problems in this engine
What android player you have? It looks beautiful and better than audi concert 3
