turbomoose Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 so what do you guys know about 1.8T Quattro Audi's in the 2005 year range?I know that engine is basically the same engine as my sisters, and that the electrical gremlins are non stop. VW/Audi seems to be ultra fragile, sensitive, poorly designed, not meant to go the long haul. But they're sure pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomoose Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Ok, here's what I know plagues the 1.8T engineCoil packs = flashing CEL, missing, sputteringMAF = Bad throttle response, CEL, poor fuel econ.O2 Sensors = CEL, too rich or too lean, sluggish, overheatingThrottle body = poor idle, bad response, EPC light, Sludge from a reduced oil capacity to fit longitudinally ECT sensor should be updated to newest "green top" version sensor, will cause poor running, too richThe "suction jet pump" can crack or get clogged. It's under the intake manifold on A4's and is a vacuum hose T of sorts with many check valves inside.the Dump Valve on these cars is famous for failingThe SAS valve clogging, letting exhaust pass into SAS pump, giving a CEL of a lean condition.The Water Pump impellers are made out of composite plastic, break and cause the timing belt to jump off.The turbo air intake "snorkel" becomes loose, leaks air or oil onto engine. The Fuel Pressure Regulator is famous for failing, causing lean/rich conditions.The FPR vacuum hose, located at the top front of the intake mani is also known to snap off, or become clogged. The Coil Pack wiring harness also is known to fail, the wire insulators crack, the wires eventually crack and the car will show signs of a failed coilpaclk, but it's really the harness.SEVERAL ground points are not screwed on tight enough. Mostly on top of the cam cover, near the coil packs.The electric coolant circulation pump leaks, seizes, shorts out.If I think of anything else, Ill post it up.

maxx999 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I would stay away from the 1.8T audis simply cause i've heard the engine fails a lot due to sludge buildup. Maybe the diesel is better or doesn't have that problem. Just stick to Volvo's or Bimmers lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
