Hello,
I recently bought a 2019 Audi A3 with a 1.6L TDI (116hp). How reliable is this engine, and what's the best way to warm it up?
And how long will it last if you mostly ride short distances (15km)? (I know, that's hard to say, but how long will it run at least, and how long do others run for part of the time?)
What tends to break in such an engine and how do you best maintain it?
Thanks in advance!

Loading...Hello, I've been driving a 2013 Audi A5 Sportback (8T) for a while now. However, I'm not entirely satisfied with the sound of the base stereo system. Since I'm not very familiar with this topic, I wanted to ask which systems are available or recommended that offer good value for money. What price ranges are…
Hello everyone, I'm a novice driver and recently bought a car. Now my question is: The car was blue when I bought it, but was sold white. Does the white paint (it was painted privately, as you can see) have to be registered? The car still has a short MOT. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I wanted to change the spark plugs in my car. The plugs need to be tightened to 25 Nm, but unfortunately my torque wrench only goes up to 24 Nm. Is this 1 Nm really that important? Or can I also tighten them to 24 Nm? Thanks
Hi, I bought an E36 316i (compact), but the previous owner had installed a fan-assisted manifold. I got the old one, but I don't want to go through the trouble of rebuilding it, so I'm wondering: Is it possible to register it? How much will it cost? And what about an E number or something…
Good morning, I have the following problem with my E250 CDI built in 2011 Avantgarde: The high beam, headlight flasher, and cornering lights all work without issues. The low beam works without issues; if I push the lever forward, the blue high beam also comes on, and no error message is displayed. Strangely, the headlight…
Hello. Is there a way to repair something like this myself without any technical knowledge? If I have to take it to a repair shop, how much will it cost?
I am not a fan of VW engines now, but the 1.6 TDI as far as I know are robust. Short distances are not ideal for diesel engines, but also not as problematic as some are. My diesel has only been driven short distance for 9 years by the previous owner, before that as a rental car 2 years rather long distance. I drove it back slowly and drove about 140000 km to date (total 213000 km) without any problems. If the engine is cold then do not let more than 2000 rpm turn until it is warm. Mine needs between 15 and 19 km until the cooling water temperature is reached. If you don’t overload the engine, you’ll enjoy it for a long time.
Thank you.
The 1.6 TDI are okay, sometimes have problems with the injectors.
The problem is if wg. The soot filter regeneration is repeatedly interrupted, which leads to oil dilution with fuel and thus to reduced lubrication capacity of the engine oil.
For short distance therefore, in any case annual oil change, no longlife exchange intervals.!
Thank you.
please
Also the 1.6 Lite long hold the 2 liter motors would keep longer, you have to keep it nicely warm then keep it long and I don’t mean the cooling water temperature?
What do you mean with the cooling water temp?
And how would you optimally warm up?
