I have been running my 2017 since brand new as a company car, but I have recently took the allowance and phyiscally bought the car myself.
Got 36K on it and it has been flawless in the near 4 years of driving it.
However I have been bit before with Audi reliability and ended up with a 2009 oil drinker which is well known.
Question is do any of you 1.4 TFSI COD owners know of any problems with these engines long term or are they bulletproof if maintained. i.e. they dont suffer with oil pump hex key wear, oil burning piston rings, throwing a rod etc. You know, all the usual achillies heels which Audi tend to throw at us ?
I started mine up today and on tick over just does not seem as smooth and silent as it used to be which fills me with dread. Just wondering if any other owners have spotted issues at higher mileages etc.
