Hi, I have a few chips in the paint of my '93 Audi 90. Does anyone know where the paint code is at?

Cabrio's ignition has started getting stiffer to turn key.... doesn't want to spring back to the "Run" position from the "Start" position. Settles somewhat with a *little* spray of WD-40 ... Anyone have any luck with a fix shy of replacing the lock cylinder? Thanks from Nova Scotia, Kevin

How can I find out what type the light bulbs in the instrument cluster are and where to get them. They are way to expensive at the dealer. What is the technical description? Could it be T1.5 or #74? It would be great if the one below fits. Has anyone tried to use LED replacements in the instrument...

Can somebody tell me when you replace the water pump what other part(s) you might as well replace?....Thanks

Maybe some body can help. If you replace the water pump on this Audi A6 what other parts should you replce while you have access to them. The reason why I'm asking is because I believe this particular mechanic has neglected to replcae a important part of the cooling system while he had access to...

Is it worth cleaning the intercooler to improve efficiency in the heat of the summer. I've never done it since I bought my car in '98. Has any of you tried? Any experiences? How did you go about it?

Last week my son bought an A4 Quattro with 109,000 miles on it. The engine sounds good & it drives fine. At about 180 degrees the oil light comes on. It goes off and on randomly after a few minutes. Somtimes it will stay on/off for a couple minutes, sometimes seconds. The water and...

Ok, I need a cargo cover for my newly purchased A4. I've been scouring the net and these things are tough to find! Does anyone have a source for Audi salvage yards or know of any other good sources for this kind of thing.... other than the $500 dealer option? I found one for a 2000 Passat. Does...

Occasionally smell antifreeze in the car (passenger compartment) - is there anything besides a 'broken' heater core that can cause this? Long version: - noticed this past winter that the engine temp. wouldn't get very warm, maybe 1/3 of the way tops. Every once in a while it would get to...

I found a '98 Audi A8 Quattro w/ 49K miles. From what I've read initially, it's a pretty reliable car with good gas mileage. I know it's a good price, but is it worth it for someone that doesn't want to spend ALOT on maintenace? My only worry, as you could probably guess, is the maintenance cost. ...

Hello - I have an annoying engine knock on my 99 2.8 A4 (145k mi) that's puzzled the mechanics that haved attempted to diagnose it. Here are the symptoms: -When the engine gets warm, there is a knock/rattle noise coming from the lower part of the engine on the passenger side. -The hotter the...

I have a '99 A4. The in-dash cup holder will not come out, and the cig lighter won't open. They had been working just fine, but a couple of weeks ago they just locked up. Can anyone help me?

I have swapped out the factory stereo with a new Kenwood eXcelon X579. I spent all day on the phone with Crutchfield trying to get this to work. The front speakers work fine, but the rear speakers are barely audible. Crutchfield says I have everything connected correctly, but I think I'm missing...

The auto-dimming review mirror inside car stays dark during daylight hours as though there are headlights shining on it at night. Is there a malfunction requiring replacement or is there a simple solution? Thanks

Breaks are making loud squealing noise when applied. Had a tech check it. Pads are about half used and rotors look OK. No other apparent problems. Any ideas regarding how one might fix this - short of putting new pads/rotors on? I have a pair of noise cancelling headphones as an alternative,...

I have broken the center console cupholder in my A6 and would like to replace it. I assume this can be done. Any BTDT? or directions to a webpage. TIA. Andy

I have the same problem with a 99 A6Q. I think I've seen in previous posts that the window rails need to be lubed at the least. At worst motor must be replaced. Requires opening the door panel to access the interior of the window well. Not for the faint of heart (read not mechanical minded)....

'99 audi A6 Avant. I asked earlier w/ no response but am getting frustrated w/ not being able to mount a dang rear license plate. I just bought the car and there are 3(out of 4) screws in the black plastic that will not unscrew, the base behind the plastic spins. I have tried putting a...

I have a '99 Audi A6 Quattro with 75k that is rattling in the front when I go over bumps...any ideas?
