I currently drive an e36 BMW and am ready to sell it. This weekend I am going to look at a 2007 Audi A4 quattro manual 6 speed transmission. This car looks sharp, and it only has 53,000 miles on it. I want some advice on what scheduled maintenance is usually performed up to this point and what to check for when looking and test driving the car. I am a BMW enthusiast but love German engineering in general. As far as reliability goes I assume these cars are no different then bimmers, I am new to audi and any advice will be appreciated.

great choice ! very good handling and performance in snow, ice or puddles going fast.

 

The Audi Quattro all-wheel drive system is perfect for luxury car drivers because it allows them to use their cars all year. At Audi of Burlington, we have a variety of Certified-Pre Owned inventory, especially A4's. We currently have a 2011 6-speed manual A5 coupe. This car may be something to check out if you are looking to still drive a 6-speed. Audi's are hard to come by with manual transmissions.

 

according to msn autos this car has issues with occational failure of the Exhaust Manifold Gasket? has anyone experienced any major issues with there a4's?

 

i can relate to you last year i drive a BMW F20 but decided to sold it due to some reasons. Now, i am planning to buy an Audi car but doesn't know what model to jump in.. any idea guys ?

 

I'm starting to realize that there is limited information on the internet for repairing Audi. BMW has more information on repairing their vehicles all over the internet Including detailed videos which have come in handy in the past. Does anyone have any information on where repair info can be found besides the Bentley Service Manual?

 

this site, audizine,and audiworld all have excellent DIY write ups.

look at the "sticky" posts in the A4/B7 section for common issues with these cars.
