- Опубликовано: 27 янв 2014
- The 3.0L V6 TDI is a beast. It starts and runs very smoothly at -10°F/-23°C with no drama. The cars were sitting outside all night, neither is equipped with a block heater (not needed). This is really one of the most refined diesels out there, no compromise.
It's amazing how nice modern common rail diesels are, this is the best I've driven!
Q5 V6 TDI: 240 hp / 428 lb-ft
Q7 V6 TDI: 240 hp / 406 lb-ft

You Sir got great taste, having a Q5, Q7 and B5 S4.
Both SUV's look stunning especially in person. Especially love the head lights and tail lights on the Q5.
I love the sound the snow makes when you're walking on it.
they are tested at -40 degrees so it shouldnt be a problem...
Dad's Audi A6 TDI has about 350.000km and it still has a brilliant acceleration and a very good handling like the first day :) never had problems with engine
+William RS Audi technology!!!
Audi's are troopers they are great at cold starts
Audi is performance& quality 👌
You spent like 150 on two vehicles and You're all impressed when they start, the dealerships must love you
what did u expect? Its a perfectly engineered German Diesel engine
+Muddi99 - I expected a RUclips video with hundreds of thousands of views.
Nope it's just a new engine so no fatigue starting! any modern engine can do that
Muddi99 mmm true but only Bmw and Mercedes, Audi (aka Vw) good petrol car, but diesel are scam, you forget Dieselgate?
German self-congratulation is pathetic and rude
All the secret is in:
- glowplugs are on not after putting key in, but just after switching car on by remote, so you get few more seconds. Similar to cycling glowplugs on older cars
- batteries are in great condition - this is always must-have prerequisity for cold starts
- V6 is easier to start than V4
Now the sad part - My 2001 Hyundai 2.0 CRDI started great as well without aditives, at similar temperatures (-20 .. -25 deg. C) when it was 6 years old, 200.000 km. So this Korean was perfectly engineered as well 15 years ago.
Dusan Holub what is a v4?? Do you mean inline 4 or strait4
Audi ist halt gute Qualität, immer zuverlässig! !!👍👍
I was worried about it too. Had no problems in cold weather. Diesel is great on Audi's.
Have to say that's REALLY impressive for diesels. Not even a gas engine would do better. I'm impressed.
yup the 2014 audi q7 tdi is a really good car. Very smooth, torque, and comfortable. Had no problems at 20k miles.
Both amazing cars
omg, amazing, working audi!
Really amazingly fast start and wonderful idle right away......Although one can start driving immediately...,I still would let them idle for about three minutes....
You got yourself a nice set of machinery....Audi sure would call you a valuable customer. :-)
WOW they just started as it it were 10c!! I'm amazed
+NOXXism -10f not C° ;)
I really wish you would make snow videos with the Q5, such a beautiful crossover.
I have the 3.0L TDI in my '13 Touareg. Amazing engine.
Did u sell it?
Wow, that fired up nice both times. I have a 2004 Duramax 6.6 L. I never use a block heater but at that temperature, the first 10-30 seconds of running sounds like waking a grumpy bear.
Q5 and Q7 are making the winter driving almost too easy!
Still can't believe the diesel engine could have a instant start in -10F condition. Pretty amazing, you do get what you paid for I guess.
Just about any well maintained modern diesel (PD or CR) can start instantly at -10F, if it has good quality oil and winter fuel.
That is absolutely crazy. I would have to see this in person to fully believe it.
It's real my old 2013 golf tdi starts at -33C like nothing ..
Diesei made by Audi/ VW/ Porsche, BMW or Mercedes are best cars of the world.
Strong, efficient, long-living, nice sound, nothing else than such cars from Germany
greate video, love it and love cars from audi !
greetings from germany
im here again and still lovin it :D
great video im saving my pennies for the q7 4.2
Good thing it was a nice and warm -10f, at about -30f is when I have seen starting issues for even the most prepared vehicles. Good video though
Just heard the timing chains snap !!!
German Quality 👌
Chris O Great video mate, more coldstart videos would be lovely. Regards from south Sweden
they're getting pretty clever with their marketing tricks !
I love my Q7
i love diesels
nice,audi the best car
TDi best engines in the world. My passat from 2004 with 280 000 km is starting very nice even when its minus 10 Celsius. Great cars !
Yea "clean diesels" FUCK OFF probably the worst engine.
you know nothing about tdi, it's only some engnes. and tdi are the best in fuel ecoonomy
François Vda yea and the best in polluting too.
Stay driving your shitty prius fucking ecologist
+Hing holo delete
new cars and start are good...
this is the reason why german cars are the best ones in the world.
because they turn on lol
crysis860 haha that's true too my friend. in Turkish there is an old saying "what makes a real man is having horse (ride), wife(nice girl) and a gun". SO far germans made good cars, have nice women, the moment they produce nice weapon, they will be invaded by Turks :D
Heckler und koch man..... We are already the home to millions of turkish people😉
starts like new !! ... oh wait
Отличный вкус!!!
Why is diesel so unpopular in the USA, why so suprized when they start in the cold
It's not to say that Diesel is unpopular here in the states, anybody who really knows vehicles understands the efficiency a diesel engine offers over a gasoline engine. The issue is that around the entire world Diesel is always cheaper than Gasoline, but here in the states the Trucking industry is so massive that the only efficient means the federal and state governments have to tax the industry is by taxing Diesel fuel. Which in previous years has meant a .50 cent to $1.00 difference in the cost of Regular gasoline to Highway Low-Sulfur Diesel. More recently the price gap is closing so more people are buying diesel. I'm sure if you look into it you will notice that the American manufacturers all throughout the 50s,60s,70s and 80s ran advertisement campaigns designed to make Americans view diesel as a nasty, crude, dangerous substance that should only be handled by trained professionals(ala truckers). Just as they ran campaigns to convince Americans that they need an automatic over a manual because their wife cannot drive a manual but the automatic is female friendly.
David Garden Wait what?
David Garden nailed it
Matteo De Faveri Yessir. Currently the national average states a 20-25 cent difference between regular 87 octane gasoline and highway diesel. The gap used to be much wider.
lol u didn't know that??
"TDI Clean Diesel".I LOLed.
Impressive
Audi Rules 😍
I hope to be getting a 2014 Q5 tdi by the end of the year
You should! It's one of the best vehicles I've ever owned...
This guy: I wonder if my Q7 and Q5 will start.
This guy's Q5 odometer: 510miles
This guy's Q7 odometer: 1310miles
Q7 💪
American are starting to like the new common-rail diesels.
Tell them to thank Alfa Romeo for that :)
I love audi and Nice models
Audi Models yea
Audi s are good german ingeenirien
I really like audi
We had same foto same name
Piękne auta
Do you have any experience with the newer MB diesels and how they compare to this Audi? I did drive a W210 300TD but that was from a time when diesels were still loud and clattery. This sounds turbine smooth compared to the diesels of yore.
German engineering at it's finest
Audi quality
That was quick. My VW 2.0 TDI waits at least 5 seconds before turning the engine on really cold mornings. Must be a bit different warm-up system...
omg love the sound of that snow where do you live
It didn't like to be revved, that's for sure! ;) But it's cold, I get it!
That's German engineering for ya! Also, thanks for mentioning Celsius :)
Dude owns 3 audi’s
So what does -40 look like? after 5 or 10 years. The extra emissions and particulate filters have to take a beating too.
diesel power.....
6isik, it's a 2014 Q5 TDI. Thanks!
very NICE CAR!!! if you dont mind me asking, how is the maintenance on the car?
James Kang - Hi James, in the US you can cover all scheduled maintenance (5 visits - oil, filters, AdBlue refills, etc) up to 55,000 miles for $820, look up AudiCare. I think it's a good deal. As expected I haven't had any issues with the car. Thanks for the comment!
Do both of these cars have the 245hp version of the V6?
Bence Gábor - Yes
Chris O Ok, thx! :D
Hey man, as someone contemplating q5 tdi, thanks for addressing one of my concerns. Another concern I have is I have heard some drivers speak of a bit of an engine lag at times when trying to say, punch through a hole in traffic. Have you experienced this? If so, can you avoid it by manually downshifting before hitting the throttle?
Nick Correia No worries man, it's pretty responsive. Yes, if you put it in S mode or manual mode you'll be fine. However with 428 lb-ft/580 Nm of torque you can accelerate fantastically in traffic without downshifting.
Planning on selling my FX for a Q7,, Thinking of getting a 3.0 tfsi, wonder if they are reliable...
Oh my God ! It was in the Montana ?
The 4.2L V8 TDI is definitely better cause of the sound
But I would have a V6 Q7 anyday.
Oh you even owned a Q5 and a Q7?
yes, I didn't start watching your video's in chronological order ^_^ I guess this winter there won't be no Q3 and A8 anymore either xD
An electric heater is built-in. There's no way to control it or use for pre-heating, but it helps to keep the cooling fluid hot.
Any cold start requires the proper diesel fuel. In fact, it's the worst part of the diesel story. Unlike the petrol it may freeze at 0C. If you drive diesel just occasionally - always keep a reserve with the winter specs.
Brand new cars. So what?
Rzvmad - I can read instrument cluster , I was looking at the left, as I said maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I saw.
my diesel doesn't start this fast even in summer
This 3l TDI is probably the best diesel engine in the world for its economy and its reliability plus good power... Most of other diesel cars are much worse
Кирилл Бабученко i drive a 02 mb v 220 cdi (w638/2)
meeeh
Xplosion51 what the fuck are you talking about?
Xplosion51 lol
German diesel > murrrican diesel
Does it have AdBlue !?
What kind of fuel you use?
пффф -23, слишком жарко
Hi guy! It's a very nice video! Where do you live?
German engineering :-)
My dad has the same Q7 :)
Karmapolice - Your dad has good taste!
Eli Consoli - No, you can drive immediately.
with me petrol car I don't have to anything to start the engine.👍 but German made always good cars
-15 last night. 2013 Q7 TDI won't start today in 4 degree F. Did you add additive to the tank for cold weather?
+Kieran Taylor - Nope, never used any additives. Just make sure you run good fuel winterized for the weather.
+Chris O I run with BMW E90 335d (~340whp/680N) and never had any issues on winter. This is common in Europe, that we have dieselcars. For winter, we have winter diesel.
maybe your coolant liquid was not ready for minus 4 degree?
i think it was running maybe one hour in advance or he preheated, because the hood looks suspicious to me in comparison to the back of the car
the hood was clean guys there was no ice on it, this means he drove the cars before
0w oil?
did you have to let the engine warm up before you drove it? just curious as I've never had any diesel engines...
No you don't. Even the manual for my 13 year old Alfa JTD (Fiat engine) says to start driving right away.
14.
I know I'm late here but I'm in the used market looking into a 2014-2015 TDI Q5 is it a worthy investment I live in Michigan it seems like diesel get all around better mileage dealers are against diesel but I know not to trust car dealers can anyone give me some real insight?
chodzi jak pszczółka
i wil get the q5 premium plus 2011 i hope its good. lol
Будете у нас на Колыме - милости просим!
Modern diesel cars are very quiet. How come ?
Which trim level is the Q5? and does it have the pano sunroof?
Premium plus - and yes, it has the panoramic sunroof.
بصراحة
الم تقم بتشغيلها قبل ذلك ؟
lindos
I'm sure you diesel heads will think this is a dumb question but is clean diesel a different type of fuel or is it just the way its burned
From what I understand Europe has much higher quality diesel than the USA, Australia and many other countries outside of Europe. It has way less sulphur in it and I think this results in less soot and other harmful products coming out of the tail pipe. This is why it is called "clean diesel." They also have DPF filters and other filters in the exhaust pipes of modern diesels in Europe as well which catch up to 95% of soot and other harmful products produced by the engine so it does not even enter the air. So in Europe they have low sulphur diesel and DPF filters and also other filters which means what comes out of the tail pipe is cleaner than in other countries and less polluting.
What's better than the 2014 Q7 TDI? The 2014 Touareg TDI ofcourse. 30Nm more torque, 17 extra horses, same engine! 30MPG for the Touareg, 27MPG for the Q7. And a tremendously better looking SUV overall. Only advantage to the Q7 is that it is a bit bigger. :)))
The second advantage is the thirt Sit row!!!And the third advantage is the one when you let your keys on the table in a club.........
tsiol
Well, I don't go to cubs and you don't fill a car like that with more than 4 people at a time. Otherwise, you might as well just buy a 2000 Honda Oddysey or Toyota Sienna.
Rumen Hristov
Hi Hristov, don't forget the third advantage, and yes ,I DO need the third sit row,that is the only reason that I sold my 8P S3 Sportback and buy the Q7.Regards from Germany
In mexico there is a version of the q7 with a 4.1 TDI and s line package an i think the q7 its better than the touareg with a little bit of More Money you can get a more bigger and audi quality car think it man ;D
can someone tell me what glow plugs are?
its these little heaters inside each cylinder that goes to 1000*C in 2 sec making the engine easier to start
Where can I get a motor for an s4
Maybe ebay?
What do you think is better.. The Q5 or hhr Q7?
theawesomeboy - I like the drive of the Q5 more. It's much quicker and lighter. Obviously the Q7 is bigger so if you need the room or the 3rd row it's great, but if the Q5 is big enough it's more fun to drive and more efficient.
Is this fear with only desils
You say this is a cold start and that it's -10 but the car windows are not even frozen? Did the cars stand inside?
Nick De Groot - there is light frost on the windows, the cars were outside as they were parked.
Chris O okay thanks for the info. But I live in The Netherlands and even if it's just freezing 1 degrees (30 degrees Fahrenheit) your car will be totally covered in a layer of ice.
+Nick De Groot I suppose there is more water vapor in warm air, and less in cold air, so the colder the air is, the more dry it is too.
So if your car is covered with ice, the water must come from somewhere. Probably the humidity was high, and when the temperature came down, the water vapor was condensed back to water, on your car. Then that moisture freezes and as a result you have frozen car. :)
But if there has been cold for long time, or if the temperature of air is rising. Then there will be no more water vapor condensing on your car.
wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20 okay thankyou for your reaction. I live near the coast maybe that is also one of the reasons. And the climate is offcourse different in The Netherlands
I'm not a big fan of the chimes and they now put those on the EU models as well. It's the same thing on our 2015 Q5 as well: even if you have the car in park and it is not going anywhere then a whole hell breaks loose should you dare to open the driver's door while the engine is running...
-25°c my vw golf mk4 2002 74Kwh easy start :D
Muva u Letu i have the same, wonderful engine, 375K km
ye, but my is 650K km :D
Can you post a video of that? What parts have been replaced?
We changed gearbox, turbo, the head of engine (don't know is this correct), camshaft, and a lot of other small parts, PS. my dad is taxi driver and he gived me this car 2 years ago, that's why it is 650k km :D
Nowadays cars don't rust much anymore. So if the chassis isn't harmed, the car can keep on driving for ages if you are willing to replace parts on a continuous base. It must be a good car. Otherwise you dad wouldn't have kept it so long, especially when he used it to earn money.
how long do you have to let it warm up before you can drive it ???
Rouji Rouji - You can drive it immediately!
Chris O
ut I read in the Kia Picanto driver's mnual that you gotta warm the engine a bit in order to extend its lifespan...
Rouji Rouji
VW Group companies recommend that you drive the car immediately after starting, except in extremely cold weather. Then they recommend 30 seconds idling maximum.
drivers here in northern algeria usually idle their engines for about 5 minutes before driving off, and the meditterenean climate is way warmer thn the one in the vid...i don't undersatand a thing here...
Rouji Rouji - In the owner's manual for my car it says there is no need to let the car warm up, they recommend you drive immediately but not use high load/high RPM until the engine is warm.
this is compression ratio of 3.0tdi
Do you have webasto or something?
nicula ionut - No engine heater. It starts very well without it.
But how quicky does it warm the cabin when it's that cold?
-23 is pretty usual temperature for middle of Russia. But mostly VAGs diesels sucks at about -30, -35, not very common but quite frequent. But except You have special "Arctic" fuel, then yes, maybe there would`t be any problems. Gasoline engines faster, smoother and in fact more reliable running low temperatures + much more cheaper to maintain and to repair (if problems) So it is not bad but it is not good. Just for fans =) Diesel is more about religion than about pragmatic or enjoy.
