Search "common problems". People ask the same question like 3 times a day, you'll get plenty of responses.

Use synthetic engine oil or you'll sludge it up.

this question is asked about every car make on the road please don't categorize the Audi as a bad car because I could mention a few high brand names that would shock you (Audi is a high brand name as well just thought id mention that) check the service history if it ain't got one then start one

there are common problems on every car .... even your run of the mill hyundai has problems - audis get sh*t cuz it costs more to fix cuz of parts and labor ... if u want a cheap car go get a new toyota yaris
