  • In this episode of Curb Check we try to find the difference between a MK6 Volkswagen GTI and the AP Audi A3. Is the A3 just a GTI in a tuxedo? Or is it just pretty face on an excellent hot hatch? This is Brake Check, the CZcams show where we rate vehicles on our Hipster Scale and give insight on "Who is this car for?" As well as give our thoughts on Interior, Exterior, Powertrain and Dynamics.

    I have this car - a 2010 Audi A3 S Line in the black on black. It is now 12 years old and looks like brand new. I bought it new. People ask me all the time if it is this model year. I have never had a problem with it and love this car. If supply line issues ever return to normal I plan to buy another A3 but keep this one. I really enjoyed your review.

    Hey man, nice video! I am about to buy the same car (2010) with the same engine EA888 2.0 TFSI. Could you help me please with some reliability advice about the engine please? (especially the timing chain with its tensioner) Thank you.

    • @TexasTruckChannel
      @TexasTruckChannel  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey thanks! Sure thing, I actually just sold this car with 118k miles and zero issues. In our entire time of ownership we had one intake manifold part replaced with an updated part ($350) and fluid changes. That’s it. In 2010 they went from a timing belt to a timing chain. Belts can snap if driven past their limit. Chains by and large have a much longer life span. I know there are some forum posts that swear the chain and tensioners a must changed at 100k miles, which simply is not true in most cases. Keep up with oil changes and enjoy it!

The A1 is actually really spacious in the front with a huge amount of legroom - better than my Mazda 6 Tourer - but with the obvious penalty for those in the back. It's essentially a 2 seater.
