AUDI A6 C7 - WHICH ENGINE TO CHOOSE THE AUDI A6 C7 2.0 OR 3.0 TDI

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

Which Audi A6 C7 engine should I choose: 2.0 TDI or 3.0 TDI, and what should I check before buying one?

The 2.0 TDI is cheaper to run and repair, but the 3.0 TDI gives more driving pleasure; many users warn that buying a C7 with an engine below 200 HP is a poor choice [#15004895][#16405296] The biggest cost risks are the automatic gearbox and air suspension, which can become expensive “piggy banks” if they fail [#15004895][#16300189] For the gearbox, front-wheel-drive 2.0 TDI versions with Multitronic were called poor, while 2.0 TDI quattro or 3.0 TDI quattro were preferred; manual was considered the safest option [#16317555] One owner reported 7.5 L/100 km on a 2.0 TDI 177 HP manual on a 3,660 km trip with four people and a roof rack at up to 140 km/h [#15304963] For the 3.0 TDI, the common 245 HP version usually comes with S-tronic; it is said to be acceptable if the oil is changed, but a failure can cost about 6–7 thousand PLN [#16405296] Before buying, have the car checked at a dealer or specialist, especially if it has over 200,000 km [#15004895]

    And the burning of the 2.0 TDI engine as it is. I think to buy a 2.0 TDI, chip it for some 210 HP It probably wouldn't be that bad. What do you think about this? Better to choose Automatic or DSG?

    You are faced with a difficult choice, the same as I had. Whether to buy a manual with 2.0 tdi and have cheap operating costs or enjoy driving and buy a 3.0 tdi but incur high maintenance costs. Cars will vary a lot in maintenance costs. You can replace the manual and drive, while the automatic machine costs a lot of oil change over a thousand zlotys and it would be useful to do it every 80,000. Do not push the multitronic and the s-tronic will be more expensive in the event of a failure compared to the tiptronic. When it comes to the engine, you need to realize that 3 liters has 6 cylinders, so there are 6 shocks, 6 candles, two heads, and thus in the event of a breakdown, the costs increase compared to the regular R4. Well, the timing, which is already great in C7, but I would be careful about it. And when it comes to air suspension, this is another piggy bank. You have to think, buddy, if you want more driving fun or lower maintenance costs and then you have to answer what to take.

    if the 2.0 tdi with front-wheel drive you will have multitronic which is junk. so either the 2.0 tdi quattro because it is a completely different gearbox or the 3.0 tdi quattro. and the best is manual

    In my opinion, buying this car with an engine below 200 HP is a bad choice. Unless you're really a disemboweled person (I mean while driving) ;)
    TipTronic is available in this model for 3.0 engines only above 300HP. Very rare. Manual available in the 3.0 engine only in the 204HP version. So we are a bit doomed to the S-tronic (or DSG) with the most common 245HP engine. 245KM was not "married" to another gearbox. It is not a bad chest. Of course, it can break down like any other, and then the repair costs about 6-7 thousand PLN. But this is probably the 3rd generation of these boxes and it is not so emergency. Oil has to be changed and that's it.

    Well, buddy, the particle filter bows. But if you are aiming for diesel with rings on the grill, remember that each ring is an expense and often.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion revolves around the choice between the Audi A6 C7 2.0 TDI and 3.0 TDI engines. Key considerations include maintenance costs, driving pleasure, and fuel consumption. The 2.0 TDI is noted for being cheaper to operate and repair, but it lacks driving excitement. In contrast, the 3.0 TDI offers better performance but incurs higher maintenance costs due to its complexity. Automatic transmissions, particularly multitronic, are criticized for being unreliable and expensive to repair. Fuel consumption for the 2.0 TDI averages around 7.5L/100km, while the 3.0 TDI is expected to be higher. Air suspension is highlighted as a potential maintenance issue. Recommendations include opting for the quattro version for better performance and reliability, and considering manual transmission for lower costs.
