Audi RS4 Avant B8.5 - Used Advice
Discussion
Morning all, i'm venturing into the classifieds looking at used Audi RS4 Avant B8.5's and have a budget of around 27k - this seems to present motors of around 70-80k in mileage with a decent spec. Aside from the obvious good service history and oil change intervals what are the things i should be looking out for?
Am i right in thinking the RS4 engine does not have same timing chain / tensioner issues as the S4 version of the engine?
I'd be moving from a 2017 BMW 335d so would be dropping a lot of torque but feel the sound / top end power would be worth it - i hear these engines need a lot of work to get them singing but are they that lazy low down in the rev range?
A good read online only seems to mention the bad things (as always) so i'm hoping you guys can offer a general overview and if these engines / cars are more trouble than they're worth when the mileage gets up to 70/80k and more.
Thanks!
