Ill be waiting for your oil consumption threads in awhile...And its a KNOWN problem the coils catching on fire. I have seen a few cars totaled from the fires, and had several luckily ones just melt a hole in the plastic valve cover. Your time will come, wait till warranty is over. And if you actually drove an Audi with a REAL engine. They are glass smooth and quiet. The 1.8T or 2.0T are NOT smooth. They noisy, vibratory little toys that belong in a Jetta or Passat, not a premium luxury car.

HAHAHHAHA

this isn't a porsche forum. LOL if you think there's some kind of vintage audi enthusiast demographic.

Wow! This thread is bruising. Never drove the 2.0T but I have owned an A4 1.8T with APR chip for 9 years and 146k miles. I get 28 mpg and the acceleration is good. The coil packs were replaced for free.

And the engine uses little oil between changes. Far less than the 3.0 inline 6 in my wife's BMW X5 (a great engine in spite of oil consumption)

I do not regret passing up the 3.0 V6 for the 1.8T. Why are people so upset? If you want a six buy a car with a six and leave the 2.0T owners to their happiness.
