XerXesNG:
Would be nice to have a well moderated Audi Whatsapp group with well behaved members like the BMW owners do.

I don't know if siena will be open to this idea but without you in the group, it wouldn't hold much water to be honest.

I don't mind being the host or 'inviter' if thats where the stress lies.

I have opened an Audi Whatsapp group...just need to invite people.

Yeah that's why i was wary of Audis imported from USA with FSI and TFSI engines. A well maintained one is great to drive but many Audi owners as i've observed from major forums do alot of DIY on their cars cos of maintenance costs. Check Audizine forum and search for cam follower you'd observe is mostly American Audi owners

XerXesNG:


Well noted.
You're not power hungry are you?

By the way, FSI engines are becoming scarier to me. Carbon build up, now cam follower issues?

The issues look like a lot. But labour here is cheap if one knows exactly what meeds to be done.

I found a few articles that analyses the expectant issues.

So your engine is naturally aspirated. I'm sure there'd be more powerful euro models too. V6s and V8s.

Which is why I try to discourage any Audi with any variant of FSI engines. And actively encourage prospective buyers to purchase from Europe, as there are a greater choice of engines, both FSI and non-FSI.

I thought new A6 and A4 models were only available with FSI engines.
Now I understand why KA24DETT has the 4.2L V8 A6 and eromspete the 2.0L A4. One learns everyday cheesy

The Audi A6 (C6 family, 2004-2011) has the following non FSI petrol engines:
2.4L V6 with 175 hp
3.0L V6 with 218 hp
4.2L V8 with 330 hp


The Audi A4 (B7 family, 2004–2008) has the following non FSI petrol engines:
1.6L I4 with 101 bhp
1.8L I4 with 161 bhp (Turbocharged)
2.0L I4 with 128 bhp
No non FSI V6s or V8s for the A4 and thats just feels sad to me.


All the engines of the B8 A4 models (2008–present) and C7 A6 models (2011-present) break the bank and are probably FSI except the hybrid models.

Culled from wikipedia.

XerXesNG, there IS a 4.2 V8 in the B7 chassis cars, though it's the high-performance Audi S4. This engine was carried over from the B6, and makes 344hp.

It's also non-FSI. wink
Re: Club Audi Naija And Elsewhere! by XerXesNG(m): 6:21pm On May 04, 2015
And has a timing chain to last the longevity of the cars life but the timing has low quality guides and tensioners and thats not the problem. The chain is behind the engine block so when those guides and tensioners go, its a lot of labor and cost to fix.

Hi Mr Siena.
Please add me to the whatsapp group 08037365683. Am About to own an Audi A4 2003 model and am really in dilemma if I should go ahead with the buy cuz of so much discouragement from friends and colleagues about the car. The worst is my Mech, telling me I overpriced the car.
The car in question is 6-7 months old in the hand of the guy that bought it tokumpo and the price is 1.1m.
2003 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro
Engine
