Default Need INFO@!! on 2000 or 2001 A4 1.8T

Hey everyone, I have been looking at audis for a while now and Im looking to buy a 2000 or 2001 A4 1.8T . The problem is, eveyone i have looked at has such bad history. I read reviews on the internet and its very rare i get a good review on the A4? Is this true? are they all shity? I love the clean look of them so bad but i dotn want to be forced into a money pit where i have no cash for mods.

THanks!

every car has there problems and espically turbocharged cars you are going to get the boost leak here and there but the most common problems on these cars are control arms, vacuum leaks and make sure the maintance is up to date timing belts should be done at around 120,000 kilometers nad just look in the maintance book see if everything is up to date your best bet would be to buy on from a Audi dealer with a audi assured warrenty that way you will not have to worry about any problems if you do buy from a privite dealer do not buy the aftermarket warrenties they are garbage and do not cover anything

good luck with your hunt

just keep the car maintained and you should have no problems, problems come when you dont use preventive maintainance, then it gets expensive
