We had a fire in the trunk and rear passenger compartment area of our 2001 A6. According to the fire investigator, it was caused by wiring to the Bose stereo. Anyone else have the same problem? -- Message posted via http://www.carkb.com

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 a 2001 Audi A6 - 4.2L with a vibration I noticed that my rear tires wear very strange. There is a flat spot every 8 inches or so, all around the tire on both rear tires. I am told I need a rear alignment, which is fine, but don't understand how that is going to correct my problem. Why is it...

Just wondering - if someone has a later model Audi which maybe has a broken timing belt or something major with the engine, and they're interested in unloading it rather than fixing, please email me at: mjmalin(at)wisc(dot)edu Looking for manual transmission and a car that is otherwise in nice...

My 2000 TT developed a sudden problem with the CD player this week - it won't accept the 6-CD cartridge. Normally you insert it and the mechanism pulls it into the player. Now it just bounces back out. Anyone had this problem? What was the cause? And what did it cost to get fixed?

What do you think about the DSG gearbox with a TDI engine? Good combination? Wise choice? Thanks, Tom

Help, help. Just bouoght a real nice Audi 90 and the fellow handed me the original radio. Of course it has to be reprogramed and I can't seem to find the right information. Even the local dealer couldn't help. It's a Wiesbaden part #893 035 180A. I was told that the owners manual for the radio has...

Hello All! I've recently purchased a 1998 A6 2.4, and am puzzled by a servo type noise that is coming from behind the dashboard (sounds like a motor is moving something back and forwards). I only realy notice it when the engine is idling, but it's quite intrusive. I hear the noise whether I have...

Hi all, I just bought a beautiful used A6 for what I think is a good deal. Seems to run just fine but there are a few annoying 'details' that screams to be fixed. The oddest thing about this car is that _both_ driver and passenger door compartments - the small ones that is about 7 by 5 inches in...

Hi all I have a A4 1.8 TQ MY99 and are considering adding a performance chip. Have done some research and are considering a company called "powerchip" which claim to boost the power from 132kw to 159kw and torque from factory 235Nm to 284Nm. Has anyone had any experience with this type of...

As the title states. I'm considering purchasing a new V8 S4 with Auto. But I've been hearing that the fuel economy is very bad. The auto is epa rated at 18 and 25. Just wanted to know how far off those numbers are.

Tis a sad day for me tomorrow.. My A6 1.8T SE Multitronic is going tomorrow to be replaced by a Chrysler Voyager.... Why oh why couldn't they make an A6 MPV Just found it difficult trying to get wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs and luggage into the old saloon....

Thinking about buying an 97/R A3 1.6 sport as a in town run about, it has a full audi service history..Any opinions?

Is it common for both wheel speed sensors to go bad if/when they(mech.) replace tie rods and control arms on both sides of the front end. Is this caused by the mech. doing something wrong? If so, what and how?

Does anyone happen to know what size torx I need to unbold the brake disc retaining screw on a Golf 4/A3/Bora/TT etc? My A3 needs new front discs soon.

not interested in phatbox as it is a less portable solution

I have a 200k+ mile 80q. Last few months, every now and again would not start on the first key turn, but sounded like it would "catch" on one or two cylinders, then die. Second key turn would start it. This happened every so often, then the frequency picked up to almost every time the motor was...
