Known weak points
- EA888 2.0 TFSI: check oil consumption on early years and the water pump
- 2.0 TDI (EA288): check the particulate filter and EGR on short trips
- Older B8 with the multitronic CVT is seen as fragile, prefer S tronic or manual
- Test the electronics and MMI, check the software version
Verdict: which to buy?
The 40 TDI quattro is the ideal long-distance Avant, the 40 TFSI the smooth petrol. The B9 (2015 to 2023, facelift from 2019) is clearly preferable to the B8.
For commuters and families after a premium saloon with an all-wheel-drive option.
Frequently asked
- What does a used Audi A4 cost in Switzerland?
- Older B8 models start around CHF 10,000, recent B9 cars sit between CHF 30,000 and 45,000, with the S4 above. The valuation tool gives a fair range for a specific car.
- Petrol or diesel for the A4?
- For high mileage and lots of motorway the 2.0 TDI is frugal; for lower mileage and short trips a 2.0 TFSI suits. On older TFSI engines watch oil consumption in particular.
- Is quattro all-wheel drive worth it in Switzerland?
- In the mountains and in winter, quattro adds clear traction and safety. On flat terrain front-wheel drive is enough and cuts consumption and price.
- Is the Audi A4 reliable?
- With a cared-for history the A4 is long-lived. On older TFSI check oil consumption, on diesels the DPF and AdBlue, plus a clean roadworthiness test. The listing Trustscore surfaces the key signals.
