2.0FSI engine Questions?
Discussion
I've got the same engine in a Golf (as an Auto) - it's very quiet around town and when up to speed, but lacking in torque which gets it changing down more than it should. If you run up the revs it can make good progress but gets a bit loud.
Economy wise very good on the motorway (around 38mpg easy) but thirsty around town (maybe auto not helping?). Considered this against 2.0TDI diesel and although that was quicker I do a lot of town driving and couldn't stand the commotion along with the delayed throttle while the turbo spooled up.
Hope this helps

I had an A3 2.0FSI Sport for 5 years. Bought brand new. It drank a litre of oil every 1000ish miles. According to Audi this is normal. Strangely the S3 I replaced it with has never needed a drop.
Other problems included a head gasket failure at 38,000miles (expensive) and coolant filter failure 40000 miles that resulted in water in the oil and oil in the water, again costly.
As I've already said I've had no problems with my S3 (touch wood) so maybe I just got a 'lemon' A3, as it was a very early car, August 2003.

NO such thing as a coolant filter, expect it was the oil cooler that mixed the oil and water.
Very early ones had problems with the valves burning out, had to have cylinder heads replaced (under waranty) no longer a problem.
They do use a fair bit of oil.
We get the odd coil pack failure (misfire) cheap to fix £30
The occational injector failure (again misfire) Arround £150
And high fuel pressure sensors fail quite often,(puts the engine warnign light on) but they are a cheap less than £50
Drive it make sure there are no stange misfires on full throtle from low rpm, make sure there is oil in the engine so you know the current owner has been topping it up and keeping the level ok.
