Hi, I just bought a 98 2.8 A4 and its cruise control won't engage now. It engaged once or twice when I first got it, but now it never engages. I can hear a relay like sound coming from roughly the top center of dash when I try to engage it so I know the stalk is making a connection. I don't...

Hi I have just bought an 1992 audi 80 2.0E with 135,000 on the clock. The fuel guage seems to have a life of its own, usually indicating far less than what is actually in the tank. Also the engine temp guage does not work at all, I presume these problems are linked. Due to my lack of mechanical...

Hello Audi World I have an A6 1.8T Quattro 2000 model with 62k miles on the clock. Overall very pleased but over the last few months it has developed a problem which yesterday took a turn for the worse. Under hard acceleration the engine stutters - it is fine at normal acceleration and to be...

At first there seem to be no power coming from the battery so the mechanic installed a voltage regulator and that seem to work, but today, I was in traffic at a stop light with the wipers/lights/heater/radio going and the low...

Driving my 2001 S4 today I heard what sounded like a motorcycle following me at a distance. The sound turned out to be from my car. It isn't an exhaust noise because it is related to speed rather than engine power. At 30-40 MPH it is like the rumble of a motorcycle. At 80 it is higher pitched,...

Hi all, While stopped a traffic light this morning the engine started running rough and then simply died. I attempted to restart it without success. I had just driven 50 miles without any issues. The car has 114K miles and has had the timing belt changed as well as all the schedule maintenance...

I love my Cab - bought a 96 in 2004 in mint condition with 50K miles. Though I now, perhaps though my ignorance, have a big problem. When I bought the car, the previous owner said the check engine light was on because of a ECU problem - though he and the dealer insisted there wasn't really...

I have a A4 1.8, I went to autozone to buy the battery but none of them fit perfectly. Is there any solution to fit the smaller size in side the a4 battery slot. I don't want to spend $155.00 with the dealer's battery. Hunter

I have a 2000 A4 with a factory installed "audi symphony" CD player. Has anyone had a problem with the fact that after driving a couple of hours, the CD player overheats and stops working (Error 1) until the car cools down again (usually the next day)? Does this happen on other cars. When I...

Hi all, I had my 67500 service and a couple of recalls done today. While it was on the rack being tortured they tech found the "prop shaft seal" leaking. The advisor came out to break the news and I kind of laughed. airplane and boats have prop shaft seals not cars. Well I asked to see the car and...
