A4 2.0TDI-e SE Technik - Anygood ?

**D4D** · 06-11-2010,02:48 PM

Hi Guys, I'm a company car "user-chooser" it's that time again and I'm looking about. I'm currently in a Volvo V50 R-Design SE 2.0D and have done 60k, completely fault free with no hassles, it's a good car.

I am not looking for a sport wagon this time round, as the boot capacity in the saloons is enough. I have looked at the S60 D3 (Co2 is to high, not so keen on the front), 320ed (small interior, no standard kit but drives well) and now the A4 which looks good, is roomy on the inside and with the technik pack has quite a bit of kit. I will be driving it over the next week or so and it will have to be a really bad drive for me not to pick it tbh.

I'm looking to choose an A4 2.0TDI-e SE Technik. What I'm asking for is any views or pics (especially from owners/drivers) I tend to find asking in the forums is the best way prior to choosing, you guys tell it how it is, warts and all !

Make sure you test drive one. I'm a company user as well.
They are a beautiful car, loads of technology, super value. Indeed I have one on order, was due December, now late and will be Jan.
2 reasons to need test drive, not just a 30min job, but an overnight.
Check out steering, takes a few miles to get useto and the foot rest can get in the way for some. Had I test drove prior to ordering, I may have stuck with Saab, especially now they offer the 180ps engined saloon at 119gm/co2. Having said that the Audi is spacaous in side and feels and looks the part. Engine power feels better than the 136 on offer and goes well.

I've had my TDIe Technik for two months and everything was going fab, until someone drove into the back of it last Friday on hte way home from work !
I do about 600 miles a week and I get 53 to 55mpg. I haven't had any problems, the suspension is a little still due to it being lowered but other than that it's great. I would go for another tomorrow, and it's got enough buttons to keep me busy when I'm stuck in traffic.
Don't bother with a cd changer there's two SD card slots and I've got an 8gb card with all my music on.

Hi Del, Could you tell me if the sd card you used for your music was a certain type?,i put my music on to a card and the unit did not recognise it. I have an Audi A4 Avant 2013.

That card is going to be a problem. Not sure on file type i used mp3.

It will play mp3 and stuff saved with windows media player but it won't play itunes stuff.
Or mine doesn't anyway.

I've had my 136 Technik since July 2012 and loved every minute of it! The quietness of the car is scary, the first few times i did long journey's i would find myself nodding off a little so having to turn up the music (loaded on the SD card) or the the iPod via the MMI (connected to the cable off Amazon/ebay for £12 - not bad eh!). Gadget-wise it has everything...SatNav, Bluetooth, Cruise, Auto Stop/Start, auto wipers/lights etc. Seats are very comforable too.
