Hmmm - lots of food for thought here.......its a real shame as I really like the Audi A4 driving experience, particularly on long journeys / MWays etc......may need to re-think possible alternatives....

So I guess this takes me further down the road of asking if anyone has positive / negative feedback on the 2.0T Petrol engine ? 2015 onwards?

Thanks for the input - seems to confirm my concerns that AD Blue complexity might be a step too far. On my current car I've not had issues with DPF or EGR but mine is Euro 5 / no Ad Blue....... Much appreciate the honest feedback....thanks for taking the time.

Thanks Steve, As you say history is king..... I have watched a couple of You Tube guides but they do tend to vary between telling you everything will go wrong to 10 mins solely devoted to Apple Car Play features! I do like the CRTDI engine in my car and its been reliable so far, but mine is without Ad blue so particularly interested in that angle. Thanks

Hi All, New joiner here. Currently considering buying an A4 Avant, hopefully 2016 or newer. Have owned a string of diesels over the last few years but now doing fewer miles (~8k pa v prev 12-14K) so looking at petrol alternatives - useage is still 70 : 30 in favour of long journeys v short. So I'm afraid its another of those 'any common problems' type posts - but my primary concerns are : 1. TDI - ad blue complication puts me off..... 2. 2.0 TFSI - heard they can burn oil and will it feel a bit short on torque against TDI's? Particularly keen on 50-70mph shove for joining m/ways etc. Will be manual as for some reason just dont enjoy driving autos, even modern ones.... I recognise with any vehicle of this age, condition and service history are key but would value inputs from anyone who has owned either of these. Many thanks! Phil
