Audi A4 1999 Avant 2.4 5V engine ALF
Engine reliability and common problems:
Engines is considered quite reliable. It features a cast-iron cylinder block and a timing system driven by a toothed belt, which operates only the camshafts for the exhaust valves. The intake valves are connected using roller chains with hydraulic tensioners.Using low-quality oil can quickly damage hydraulic lifters and chain tensioners. At high mileage, electrical components such as sensors, coils, and oxygen sensors frequently fail. Throttle body or idle air control valve contamination is the primary cause of unstable idle speeds.
Oil and coolant leaks become significantly worse if the engine overheats. Older engines often develop vibrations at idle, which can sometimes be traced to the wear of the dual-mass flywheel.
The engine is equipped with quite expensive dual ignition coil module. To extend its lifespan, it is recommended to replace all spark plugs every 50,000 km and regularly inspect high-voltage wires for wear.
The timing chains are durable, often lasting over 250,000 km. The timing belt, specified to be replaced every 120,000 km, requires replacement along with the rollers. Replacing the belt is a labor-intensive process that involves removing all components beneath the engine. It is also advisable to replace the water pump driven by the belt during this procedure.
Overall, this engine can last around 290,000 to 490,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
