Hi All, I am thinking of getting a 2 year old Audi A4, which would make it a 2003 model, but considering the year is almost up, and I am not quite ready to purchase one yet, it might end up being a 2004 model. So, anything in particular to watch out for? Obviously, if the seller has all the...

Does anyone know if it's normal for the airbag light to come on only when there's a passenger in the rear? I have front and rear side curtain airbags and thought maybe something was being disabled due to an occupancy sensor. Thanks Brad

has anyone ever washed their own engine? if so is there anything i should be careful of doing?

i know this sounds crazy, but it there any chance that driving with the ESP engaged reduces fuel efficiency? my fuel numbers are down since we've had ice and snow and i've been more apt to drive with ESP engaged. am i just seeing things? or is this possible?

Hi all, I recently got a new Audi A3 2.0T stick shift. This is my first manual transmission car. My question is what is the best way to drive over speed bumps since my apartment complex has around 6 of them and I don't feel comfortable driving them. Here is what I've tried: 1) Drive in first, slow...

Hello I have a 1990 Audi 100 2,3E with speedo problems that have been bugging me for some time. It started last summer when the speedo needle during drives from time to time stuck at about 80 km/h. It would then after some minutes usually fall to 0 km/h where it also could stick for some minutes...

Hi Everyone. I have a clogged radiator in my 1997 A4 2.8Q. There are some cold spots when feeling around. Slight overheating while going up a large hill/mountain has been a probelm since I bought the car 5 years ago. Is there any way to get rid of the scale on the inside. I'm not too keen on...

In regards to overall quality between a 2008 Audi A4 (2.0T) and Jetta (SEL?), which is best and why? I like the exterior of the Jetta better. However, Once the smaller rear spoiler is added to the A4, it's very nice looking. Similar to an Acura TL in its design. The Jetta interior seems nicer...

Have a problem with car air conditioner, go here http://car-air-conditioning.blogspot.com/

I've got a 99.5 V6 A4 Quattro. 100k miles, timing chain and water pump changed at 80k. Oil recently changed by a new shop--good rep, but unknown competence to me. I've got to drive 400 miles tommorow and just today discovered that the coolant level in the tank is quite low, perhaps 1.5 inches...

Hi, I have a 2001 B5 S4. The HID xenon headlights were recently stolen. The entire headlight fixtures were completely removed from the car. I would like to replace these with another set of HID headlights, but I don't want them to get stolen again. Are there any security measures I can take to...

Hello folks. I need a new water pump for my 1998 Audi A4 (V6, 2.8 liter, 06/98 manufacture date). It has 84,000 miles on it. I was referred to a mechanic who specializes in Audis. Here is the repair estimate that he provided: Parts: tensioner & timing belt kit - $350.00 water pump -...

Hi everyone, I'm about to ditch my Toyota with 175,000 miles on it and buy a new car. The 2006 Audi A3 is one of three finalists, and I love almost everything about it except for one thing: I have some doubts about reliability. It's not that I *know* it's going to be bad. In fact, part of...

How much fuel is left when the light comes on? 2 models 1997(R) A4 1.8 (wife's) 1999(T) A6 1.8T (mine)

the cupholder that slides out of the dashboard just above the radio has to be a joke, right? i mean unless mine isn't unfolding correctly, there is no way you can put a drink into it. am i missing something? it just sort of slides out and creates a very shallow tray with no upward support for the...

Hi everyone, Thanks to this site my husband was able to repair my car's brake problem for $100 and in about 20 minutes after the German repair shops were unable to even diagnose the problem. Thank you all! I have a new issue now: I took my 1989 200 turbo in to have the air conditioning recharged at...

i plan on buying a new A3 and i only have to decide on the color. I mostly like the black colors but i have heard that they might not be the smart choice. Any reasons why i should not take the black color ? thanks

How much oil should a 2.0 FSI engine get through? Normal driving (commuting mainly) and (very approximately) it's getting through around 1L every 1000 miles, although I'm going to do a proper test on a longish trip next week. This seems excessive to me although I've been told by my tame...

Hi, please, I need the electrical diagram for Audi 100 (made 1987, 1.9D) I can't find it anywhere on the internet. All the books or downloadable documents are for other models or other years

The times I've phoned up (various) Audi dealerships to find out the price of a part, they seem to have been reluctant to give out the part number. Anyone know why this is the case? Is this just a UK problem?
