I would like to know if Audi A4 B7 with automatic transmission have also hill hold assistant?
Thanks for your question, not sure to be honest. I'll pin your comment here and hopefully someone can answer. Cheers.
@@damos_cars Thank You :)
yes it has, there is a option in vcds to code but you have to have auto transmission to activate it :)
Fuel tank is 70 litres not 63 :)
@@Andretty91 s line is 63
I agree, the B7 A4 is not just the best looking A4, it's the best looking compact 4 door saloon ever. Back in 2008 I wanted to buy my beautiful wife a new car and suggested a Camry or a Volvo S40 but she wanted an A4 and insisted on the B7 even though the new B8 had just arrived at our local dealership. It was over my budget even after a hefty discount on the 'old' B7 2.0 TFSI model but I bit the bullet. Today I'm glad for her choice, such great taste. She still loves and drives it today, 150k km on the clock with no major problems.
Aww great story. Brilliant that is still being used! They really are one of THE best cars. Cheers 😁👍
my B7 after 340k km feels just like on day one :) gotta love the B7 generation.
Hewn from granite as they say!
Same for me. 370k km, b7 tdi. going strong
Good video. Miss my old 2006 B7 2.0 TFSI! Had it until 315,000 km or 195,000 miles. It was bullet proof for many years but once it got past the age of 15, small problems seemed to appear ever more frequently. O2 sensor, thermostat, blower relay water damage, small oil leak with the vacuum pump, exhaust pipe holders. And the damn rust, not just in the arches but also in the rear and small rust dots appeared even in the doors. The car was on the original chassis parts so that was going to be expensive sooner or later and didn't feel like throwing in more money due to the rust.
Nice one mate, gorgeous car that aged well as well and back then Audi wasn't cutting as much corners as they do now.
Its not bad for an old girl that's for sure. Plan was always to replace it with a B8 S4 but now not sure! We'll see. We're not using it much so for now, for a £3.5k car it's a bargain keeper.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@James Terrance Instablaster ;)
@Johnathan Harley thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Johnathan Harley it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
I own a 2007 A4 1.8 T and absolutely love it. Great sound, Ton of boot space, simple design, powerful engine. Speedo inching toward 200k kms but still packs a punch even if pressing the accelerator at 120 KM/hr.
Couldn't agree more!
Such a good looking car, still holds up very well. Just bought my 2nd one.
I still get compliments on my b7. People think it's much newer than it actually is.
Yeh agreed. As soon as Audi switched to that bit corporate grill with the B7 it bought it bang up to date and has aged very very well ever since. I also took someone out in mine and they commented that they thought I only had really old cars. I was like this is an old(ish) car!
I have a b7 a4 cabriolet and after 110.000 miles still beautiful to drive and looks incredibile, I'm planning to keep this car for a very long time. Ciao
Nice one! Love it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Just bought mine b7 cabrio, amazing car. Mine is 2009 with all bells and whistles.
i have a b7 also,i love this car.
i have a b7 and i have same opinion. Best looking,feel more exotic,when im in the car i feel in a sport car. Interior is nice and well made and the entire car is well made and handling is top.
Indeed! Epic build quality. I still miss it even now.
I have a 2006 A4 B7 2.0TFSI quattro SE. 157000 miles on the clock and climbing. Ive had it since 67k in 2018, its never broken down but I've spent a fair bit on maintenance, like cam follower, and carbon cleaning. Also upgraded with stainless exhaust, high flow cat, gear box recon, upgraded clutch, Bilstein coil overs, anti roll bars, and remap. Its just had a new turbo as was getting some under boost codes and WOW! This thing flies now. Best looking A4.
Great choice, sounds like a well sorted one now. Enjoy 😀👍
I have a 2005 1.8T Audi B7 estate with 183,000 miles, still drives amazing.
Nice one!
Bought myself an Audi A4 B7 2.0TFSI Quattro last month. Great car so far.👍
Nice one, they're the best. Manual or auto?
@@damos_cars 6spd Manual 👍
I have a 2006 A4 B7, TDI 2L, Cabriolet.
I love it.
S- Line.
A mechanic I spoke to, said it was a great engine and the last great one they made in that line up
Nice one. Yeh truly great cars!
Great video Damo from a fellow Audi A4 b7 owner and car content creator! 😎✌🏻
Thank you Josh. Nice channel. You have a new insta follower and YT sub..
@@damos_cars thanks! Appreciate the kind words and support!
B7 - A4 Avant Quattro with 1.8T and S line suspension, legend car. With chip tuning 200HP and 7s to 62 mph. This engine is the best 4 cylinder engine petrol ever from Audi.
Yep, they're great bits of kit for sure.
l have one second hand one. It's great. is there a way to change the navigator from Japanese language to English. It has road explorer hdd 9.0
finally someone who also appreciates how great the B7 lineup are!
They're awesome.
I absolutley agree b7 is just perfect all rounder car to use every day, Iam looking for b7 with 3.0tdi manual version for best compromise between power and fuel consumption, and also comfortable transport (traveling 2-3hours) , wish me luck 🙂
Good luck and thanks for watching! 😀👍
I bought a B7 2.0 tfsi, five days later I got a low oilpressure warning light. I have not yet repaired it, I suspect it to be something with the pump, well, I bought a spare engine to either pick for parts or do a engine swap. But I cant say my B7 ownership is of to a great start. but I can tell you this, it feels so freaking nice to drive, and it moves for sure.
Oh damn, sounds like a bumpy start. Hope you manage to get it fixed. It'll be worth it!
@@damos_cars yeah, so do I. Seems like a great car, unfortunately the previous owners have all done long life services only, I'm defiantly gonna change the oil way more often then the long life service says you can drive in between services. If I get it up and running again that is
Nice vid rude boi! I may buy one of these beasts soon 🤟
Thanks man…!
@@damos_cars got my eyes on a tasty 3.0 tdi! 🤟
Nice video buddy . hope your well
Ha ha cheers buddy! Yup doing as well as can be. Stay shiny.
@@damos_cars shiny or crazy 😜 lol and you
Looking to get one of these for my next car as I have a little one on the way and need more room, upgrading from a vw polo. What’s the 2.0tfsi engine like I’m after something nippy but for reliability would you recommend the 2.0tdi ?
I'm the wrong person to ask about diesels. The TFSI in this with 118k miles on has been brilliant. Never missed a beat. Just keep any eye for the cam follower.
I love my 3.0 v6 quattro b7 , couple issues but worth every penny for reliability.
yeh, absolutely cracking motors!
My only gripe with mine is the rear seats don't go completely flat, yeah a huge issue lol
The 1.8T with a tune is amazing, nothing like the B7 these days!
Yeh, it's a hard act to follow for sure. Yeh the seats thing can be a pain but small issue really! :-)
HI I am agree with you : french and have one since december 2006 ( B6 avant between 2002 and 2006 )
for the design don t forget that B7 was first audi car to have new style single frame .......in october 2004 I went to see B7 on Paris mondial car .
when you compare with other model different brand it is sure that B7 is not so older look than a bmw or mercedes or french brand .
nice one!
Hi there. I'm using A4 B7 and sometimes B9. I see some inaccuracies here A4 B9 was released in 2015 not 2013 and fuel tank capacity is 54 liters. BR
Ah good to know. I was compariing it to the B9 2.0 TFSI as well. Cheers
@@damos_cars The B7 2.0 TDI actually has a 70 litre fuel tank, which can approach 750 miles + or 1000/1100 km range, making it still one of the longest range cars around. I remember filling my 2006 Avant S-line in Bordeaux and driving back to Lancashire and still having one quarter tank left. At almost 228,000 miles/367,000 km it still runs like new on the original Turbo and clutch. I've spent a bit maintaining it but it is a car that returns the favours and it still looks very good, only needing new wings to shine, with no other rust anywhere and a hard wearing still hardly faded interior. Effective Sat Nav with wireless Android Auto and front/rear cameras has transformed it into a very modern tractable car too.
Sweet...:) Go Quattro. 👍👍🤙🤙🤟🏼🤟🏼
Right on! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I was gonna buy a Volvo C30 but I got the B7 A4 Quattro for a better price and no regrets. The B7 line is amazing. I hope I can maintain it appropriately.
Ah nice one! Hope my vid helped. I love these cars, proper solid pieces of engineering. Enjoy it and make sure you look after it!
The 2.0 tdi is my favoriete b7😍😍
Great cars for sure!
Any thoughts on the very tappety sound the 2.0 TFSI makes when warm? Pretty awful and apparently 'they all do that, Sir.' Undermines the cool nature of the car.
They all do that sir. ha ha!
@@damos_cars I take that amusement in the spirit intended :) but in all seriousness, its a premium motor and sounds awful when warm. Not great- in fact downright disappointing. Still, thanks for the reply.
@@oris247 yeh I know what you mean. It is a bit disappointing. To me it feels and sounds a bit like a diesel and I hate small diesels!
Mine nice and quiet after I had rear cam chain etc renewed....
How do you get Bluetooth or aux in a b7?
We use one of these: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264970260039
All of the B7 in my region seemed extra rusty, were they built with cheaper materials?
Not that I know of. The arches can trap water so they rot from the inside out, which is common on any car, its easily sorted though.
Have bought a 3.0 tdi S-line Avant B7 down here in NZ, wonderful vehicle.
Nice one, congratulations. They really are great cars!
I mean b7 is good looking from a4 series, but my personal favorite is a4 b5 1.8t 110kw 150 hp and it is old as gold
ha ha nice one. Yeh the B5 was pretty timeless.
I have my B7 2.0 tfsi since 3 years ago from 147.000km now 240.000km
0 problems, but i speend 10.000 eur in tunning and look.
Now 281HP
But in January i will make 400HP+ on it, so is a demon 😂😂😂
i agree but most of all for me is n°1..The Design !
Hee hee nice one.
Window regulators and glove box's ❤️❤️
Have one with 200k miles still looks and feels like new. These cars are indestructible and drive great
Nice one!
The Audi A4 B7 is sooooo reliable even today (if nicely looked after)
Mine has been amazing so far!
I fully agree with you.
Really? Need help, I'm aiming to get audi 2.0 fsi ( non turbo ) petrol wagon 2006, milage is about 50.000km
great car....400000.
.km still running as new on original engine A4dtm
Wow! Nice one. Thanks for watching.
Yes..im 395,000km a4 b7 2.0tfsi
That’s amazing, any rebuild required?
Still original engine no modification
Wow that’s insane! 🤯
B5 and the B8 are the best looking I'm afraid.
😆👍I used to like the B5 actually and I’m also partial to the B8 although the rear boot/trunk shape doesn’t sit well with me on the Avant.
i have one of these with standard suspension and i find the ride horrendous
Really? Everything ok with it?
@@damos_cars im thinking the tops mount be be a little past it, something i will be looking in to very soon.
the roads are terrible where i live but ive defiantly had comfier riding cars.
@@nodwaa9227 Definately not a pillow sort of luxury. It fits more crusing/track needs and not so much the gravel and dirt roads and side-street potholes of daily life. I don't mind the spring rate but I'm planning on smaller rims (high-profile tires) and a bit more ground clearance. Whomever had mine last bottomed it quite a lot!
I've had two so far and looking for a 4.2 engine for a swap.
Wow, that'll make it shift! Good luck.
@@damos_cars shifts fine with stock or my RS4 upgrade clutch. Well be better with upgraded ecu that removes the lack of low end torque.
No the b6 is best 😁 I’m slightly biased being on 4 b6 owners clubs and owning 2 of them. However both the 2.0tdi and 2.0tfsi were inferior in re,inability to the 1.9tdi and the 1.8t
I think I was slightly biased by having a B7! I think the softer lines of the B6 were very of their time. Both nice cars really that moved the game on for Audi in this sector. Cheers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@damos_cars no problem I always like to support fellow creators I enjoy watching. And thanks for the reply and great comments about the b6. I do like both to be honest and often get tempted by a b7 avant to replace my b6 avant but I can’t sell out my b6 buddies 😂 got the cabrio b6 too just a saloon s4 b6 to go
@@thedetailingdoctor5746 Yeh, stick the B6's then! Sounds like you have all the bases covered. As a detailer make sure you don't watch my latest video where I attempt a DIY paint correction... You might be appalled! Cheers
@@damos_cars I’m sure one day we can help with some training with a collab video involved as I’m sure it would be mutually beneficial.
You’re on!
how can you say that the b7 is the best when the b6 is the same car with a better engine?
Subjective opinion here but I prefer the more modern look of the B7. Think it still looks fresh amongst modern Audi's even today. Personal opinion though! Each to their own. Cheers.
@@damos_cars Design is personal preference. Reliability B6 is better
@@FabioMV95 How is the b6 more reliable?
@@jaahasjaahas8729 pd130
@@FabioMV95 You don't know shit, mate. Its not the same. Back to school.
For me the best Audi A4 is the B6 1.9 Tdi 130 hp👍 I
Yes! Love it. The B6 is glorious and those Tdi's go on forever.
Now compare it to an equivalent BMW 3 Series of the same era and see how it compares 😉
What do you think the result would be?
The best Audi a4 is a seat exeo, basicly a more recently build b7
Usually diesel and only 2WD, also less attractive. I talk about it in my other B7 vids.
I love my B7 220hp quottro but the quality is poor, really bad actaully. If you buy one, prepare to spend alot of time in the garage fixing it!
in what way is the quality poor? You mean reliability?
Don't agree with the reliability. New A4 and A6s are way more reliable than the pre 2010 models.
Reliability index didn't think so but it would be interesting to find out for sure.
It has some flaws...
but the B7 has aged well and it looks more like the modern car generations.
black S-line interior is a must! and some 19” wheels give It the proper stance. 😍
stay away from the 2.0T and Multitronic models!
Yeh, I agree. Ours is a bit tired now and other than routine maintenance its not had lots of love. It is a 2.0TFSI though! So far, it's been ok. I really do enjoy driving it. Cool cars, without any over engineered bits you don't need but still with the bits you do need. Thanks for watching.
Why stay away from the 2.0?
nochocolatemuffins4u *2.0T and 2.0TFSI up to 2011.
biggest problem is the Oil consumption... and the direct injection creates carbon buildup at the valves.
They also use a K03 turbocharger from the smaller 1.8T engine, those break at 230hp. 200hp is almost the upper limit.
a later 1.8T with 163hp is the better choice!
@@nochocolatemuffins4u get the 2.0 way cheaper to mod, and better in my opinion. Certainly is fun tuning and modifying a 4 banger. Some drink oil however but mine doesn’t. Get the 2 bro it’s way better trust
My son has just bought a 100k 2.0TFSI and its been meticulously maintained. It runs beautifully.
This car will go down as a classic when it's old enough! But for now this is the choice of people living on wellfare, living in shitty houses, being behind on rent... Nothing the Audi can help about but if you turn up with a B7 A4 today everyone thinks you are Riff Raff 😂
You make some interesting and very valid points. Cheers
Whatever you do tho, never get the 2.0tdi, NEVER!
You had problems?
One of the best cars, once you fix the oil pump hexagon issue. I love it, even after 337.000 km
@@damos_cars Cracked head, cracked block, oil pump issues and on my third turbo.
Couldn't get the reliability site to search. Are they like hiding info now?
yeh, the site is not the same as it used to be and there is no way to check specific models. Which is a shame!
The closest thing I can think of to match this is have you ever seen these sites that provide "cost of ownership" ? @@damos_cars
