Audi A4 2.0 TDI and Elddis

Daryl Phillips reviewed on 15 June 2016 a Audi A4 2.0 TDI (177 PS/130 Kw, Year: 2011 - 2015) with a Elddis Avante 564 of 1415 kg.

Brand new to caravanning and already had a 2015 A4 model 2.0tdi 177 Quattro. Settled for an Elddis Avante 564 2012 and thanks to the review on this site I was confident in the outfit match.
My third time out using this outfit was a trip to Cornwall from the North East then back again via North Wales. These journeys saw me using two, three and four lane motorways, A and B class roads. In total around 1100 miles in a week. I have to say as a caravan mere novice this car and this van are perfectly matched.
I\'ve had only a small amount of clutch smell and that was when the sat nav directed me down a road I immediately saw was not caravan friendly. To get out I had to reverse out up a quite steep incline back onto the A road.
The stability of this outfit is fantastic running with an 80kg nose weight, so much so I easily built up the confidence to pass many an HGV (or slow moving car)
The car returned an MPG figure of 30mpg travelling to Cornwall and took it all in its stride. Whilst the match says 6th gear is not of much use I did find I slotted in to it to give the 5th cog a rest and to drop the revs for better MPG. On a whole I\'d wholly agree on the 4 1/2 stars for the match of this outfit

Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI [6MT] and Coachman

Andy Alexander reviewed on 21 April 2014 a Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI [6MT] (131 PS/96 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2004) with a Coachman Amara 560/6 of 1467 kg.

The Audi A4 pulls the Amara 560/6 no problems. Plenty of power with approx. 32-33 MPG. The noseweight has to played with as the first time out the whole this was a bit lively. Once I got that sussed we rode a lot better. The car is getting on so may change it for a Santa Fe.

Had car chipped mainly to increase torque to make it compatiable with a TDI. Some confusion of max braked towing weights, as some other sites show this as 1400kg, wheres this site and Audi state 100kg.

Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI Quattro and Coachman

Ben reviewed on 21 September 2012 a Audi A4 Avant 2.0 TDI Quattro (170 PS/125 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2008) with a Coachman Pastiche 460/2 of 1400 kg.

Out on the open road, the Audi towed reasonably well, pulled well and was stable, I think helped by the 4 wheel drive. Rarely got into 6th even on motorways, and neeed to travel at 60+ mph to avoid having to drop gears on inclines.. Issues came when moving and reversing van on sites, simply this car is to highly geared for this, and resulted in clutch abuse. Quattro is awesome, and would recommend only with lighter vans.

Audi A4 2.5 TDI quattro and Caravan

Guy day reviewed on 18 February 2012 a Audi A4 2.5 TDI quattro (180 PS/132 Kw, Year: 2001 - 2004) with a Caravan of 1400 kg.

I've had the car (an auto) from new in 2001 and still don't want to change it. It is used for trailer towing (caravan chassis) rather than caravan and goes like a train! Marvellous on hills and has kept 120mph with the trailer fairly heavily laden on a gentle uphill for 3miles or so. The 4WD is good for wet grass sites and I've sailed past others with spinning wheels. 25-28mpg when motorway towing. I can't fault it.

Audi A4 2.0 TDI Quattro and Bailey

Tim reviewed on 08 August 2011 a Audi A4 2.0 TDI Quattro (140 PS/103 Kw, Year: 2006 - 2007) with a Bailey Pageant S6 Vendee of 1315 kg.

Note ** 2003 Audi 1.9 TDI Quattro Sport **
Travelled to Toulon and back from North Devon.
Utilised A roads Motorways and Toll roads on outbound journey. Return required use of some minor roads in UK.
Exceptional car, with masses of grip and ability to overtake on inclines (Dual Carriageway). Significant stretches of road able to run in 6th Gear, though small inclines soon required a change down to 5th. Can not recall less then 4th gear required. Basically gear ratios very good for progression on all roads. 4 Wheel drive in campsites and for those steep hill starts a massive plus.
Be wary of Nose weights obviously as towing, but I used between 70-80KG and found that to be effective. Only time I found very unsettling was Dover M20 which seems to be a terrrible road with undulations and pitting which coupled with being used to good roads in France required an alteration to driving style.
Average mileage a day doing two 3hour shifts at 170 miles. (France)
Average fuel between 26 - 29 MPG dependant on road.
Only times for tension is when overtaking HGV and then passed on outside by exceptionally fast larger vehicles (Landrover Discovery, Toyota Landcruisers etc). You do feel increased buffeting and could see benefits of larger vehicle.
Great Car........

2006 A4 Avant 2.0 TDI and 2007 Coachman Amara 380/2

Into my 4th year towng the Coachman, no problems at all. If I stay below 60 the outfit does 32mpg on the motorway and I have not had any cooling problems. The car even tows uphill on wet green lanes provided you are careful with the throttle. Who needs 4 wheel drive?

I have 2008 Audi 2.0 tdi and regularly tow my Bailey Ranger GT60 520/4 in Britain and on the continent. The car copes with this very well. On motorways it is easy to forget that you are towing as it easily deals with any gradient you are likely to meet and still has plenty in reserve.

I have towed this combination for a couple of years and has proved to be good and stable. Only time I have had a slight problem is on a steep slope from standstill. But this I think is due to the TDI having a turbo lag until the revs get up a bit [2000] . Otherwise it has been great.

Fantastic car owned for 6 years, love the coachman pastiche 535/4. I have towed for near 30years and allbeit we both love the outfit.We have got a problem of (the tail wagging the dog). We have tried different ways of reducing this and the only way seems to increase the nose wieght above the towcars max i.e. to 90kg. I have contacxted the CC and although they confirm that the outfit is spot on, when they tested the Audi 2 of the Judges past comment that the car was twichy at high speed. I am now considering a Volvo the replace my Audi. Sob Sob, any one else encountered the same.

Towing with my Audi A4 3.0L TDI Quattro is a pleasure to behold! Loads of power, with more than enough in reserve if needs be. With the Audi being Quattro and the AL-KO stabiliser being so good the van tows solid and as rock, no sway or snake, in fact the biggest problem I have is keeping my outfit under 60 mph on the motorway! To sum up the Audi as a tow car, “ACTUNG PANZER!!!”

Bas reviewed on 31 March 2010 a Audi A4 Avant 1.9 TDI (131 PS/96 Kw, Year: 2001 - 2003) with a Swift Charisma 560 of 1450 kg.

I have towed this combination for about 3 years and the only concerns I have had is when reversing. The clutch soon gets hot, and I think the reversing gearing is too high . I bought the car second hand, at 40000 miles, and it already had a tow bar fitted, but soon after, because of the issues with reversing I changed the clutch. It was almost down to rivets. Even with the new clutch the reversing issue didn't go away. Apart from that I am happy with the towing capability.

This Audi diesel has the power and torque to perform well with the Amara except that it is a relatively light car and I need to load the car to maintain a better caravan to car weight balance. This is well worth it as I have a car that returns 44 mpg solo and 30 towing. It will also pull at 50-60 on motorways in 6th gear quite comfortably.

I use a Audi A4 S-Line 2.0TDi 140 to pull my Swift Challenger540 and although it exceeds the old fashioned idea of 85% it tows great, plenty of power and good stopping power, if anything the 4wd would suit better due to some minor torque steer is felt on steep inclines and full throtle

Excelllent tow car. Mine is the Avant which isn't listed here so I've picked the saloon as it's similar. The engine is very torquey and handles the heavy Senator with little effort. Stability is excellent even when loaded and with high sidewinds. Motorways are a breeze with the outfit sitting very comfortably at 65/70 mph. What I love about this car is you get most of the benefits of a 4x4 but it still drives like a GTi. Best of both worlds? You bet!

Audi an excellent car, but not a good tow car! Poor match for our Pageant S6, stability very poor and clutch nearly burnt out twice on hill starts. Even when reversing onto pitch the clutch would start to smell. This caused stress always worrying if clutch would make it! I would only give this car 2 stars because of this. We have freind with similar car but only towing a Ranger and they have experienced the burning clutch smell too, and had the hydraulics go on clutch. Did have plenty of power though!

The Audi A4 convertible pulls the Osprey with no problem at all, no lacking in preformance. although it has an automatic gear box, the multitronic paddle gear change allows to change gear easily if you wish. Only on the steepest hills did I feel the need to change down a gear other than that it took every thing in its stride. The Car and van combination also looks damn good.

Its actually the 180 bhp T Sport not listed Quattro. I have towed the Ace no problem, hardly notice it is there. 4wd makes it tow wherever and it is always stable, even when windy. Only downside is 28-30mpg normally drops to 19-20mpg when towing. But to buy a diesel is V expensive and I only do 10k a year. A great car and van.

Good ESP front wheel traction tie on the A4 is excellent on wet grass or poor traction surfaces. On full payload on average A roads and B roads the A4 averages 48.6 mpg (diesel fuel A4 saloon with 130bhp). The Elddis Avante 482 is excellent - easy to manouvre, stability is superb with friction pads on tow hitch. I would give the unit 8/10 for all round performance.

Have had absolutely no problems with this unit. I find it very stable and it will happily cruise at 60mph. Have even had the unit out on windy days (not my chioce!) and found it to be fine as long as you respect the conditions and adjust the speed accordingly. I would agree with the last review, an A6 or A4 quattro would be better as the 1.9Tdi is a bit breathless on long climbs. Personally I would go for the A4 3.0L Quattro for better power to weight ratio.

A4 Avant - great car solo, but you have to be very careful towing this weight of caravan - Put the awning in a roofbox and the heavy items in the car and you will be OK - but dont try and overtake downhill, and think about it on the flat. 115bhp doesnt sound much but with the torque you are able to overtake on the hills.
Thinking of changing up in size - poss A6 or even Mondeo Estate.
