Audi Reliability Unacceptable by US Standards

Actually you don't need to go with Alpina. The BMW 325I I was comparing the IS350 with offers some M options which would improve handling. But even with the F-Sport equipment, I doubt the Lexus ould equal the numbers the 335 obtain.

I said at the beginning that it was a BMW335I.

The Audi 80 was renamed the A4. Of course in S or RS livery the performance was greatly improved. The RS6 is an A6 on steroids.

Hi

?? Thats the first I hear about the V6 with Roots Compressor. I've heard it's a fine engine, but that was when the car came out... What's going wrong? When reading your msg, I should think this problems are common knowlegde, so sry to ask if you could elaborate a bit. Thx!

I am also very surprised that Audi is trying to fit a compressor on an engine knowing that they are completely new to the subject.

The source seems to be the US based consumers' report. I did not read it myself, I am just repeating what is written in the first threads and started this complete discussion. But I do not have the time to fetch it.

The report does not seem to question the other engines.

Here is the annoucement about this engine:

I did google and found nothing about engine problems so we have only to rely on the consumers' report which is far from being a reliable source of information, as said earlier, i-e not very scientific.

Really ??? What about the G60 engine in the Golf and Corrado, and the G40 engine in the Polo ??? They were supercharged engines in the 1990's.
