ContiProContact in a snowstorm by
AD[_2_]
OMG, it's horrible. I think even RE-92s were not nearly as bad.
I've pulled a set of Xi 2 off last week and haven't really adjusted to
these all seasons
on snow (that fell last night). It was the first time that I was ever
thankful to audi for ESP.
It took me two full hours running morning errands...

stability control off by
AD[_2_]
Now that it's way over 40F I wish there was a permanent (flip) switch
for ESP off on 03 A4.
torsen does an admirable job keeping understeer at bay with stability
control turned off,
but I keep forgetting to do so only to be reminded by the progress
impeding electronics
in hasty turns.

Slickness is gone once the transmission fluid was replaced by
AD[_2_]
I had the gearbox and rear diff fluid changed to BP 75w90 (synthetic).
about 1.3 liter went into the rear diff and 2.7 was left for the
manual
gearbox.
It feels not the same now. The slickness of shifts seems to be out
and the rubbery feel of a subaru manual gearbox is in.
It's also seems more...

B6 A4: windshield creaking in snowstorm by
AD[_2_]
It's about -3C now (23F) and the windshield is making creaking noises
for quite a while after I start driving the car in the morning (snow's
falling)
I had the windshield replaced this august with the very same (french)
glass
which I think is the same that is used by ingolstadt on the new...

A4 B6: Rear wheel well cowl carpet reattchment -> how would you do it? by
AD[_2_]
Last year left rear wheel well cowl went loose (packed snow and sport
package have to be thanked for that I guess) and was reattached by the
garage on the other end of the city.
This year it was the turn of the noise killer in the right rear well.
Could anyone point me to the instructions for...

I need help! by
AD[_2_]
While picking up my toddler from daycare today I caught myself getting
lost on purpose, which resulted in
an extra 6-7 mile loop. If anyone found a cure for excessive hedonism
please do share it here.

choices, choices, choices: manual vs automatic in 2003 A6 by
AD[_2_]
I typically get a manual tranny since where I live roads are not
terribly congested most of the time (yet).
How well does the stick shifts on 2003 A6 (quattro)? Is the engagement
crisp and precise or there is any rubbery detached feeling to it?
Is it 5 or 6sp?
What does automatic have going for it...

Got a chance to test drive 2003 A4 (1.8T quattro) and 2001 A6 (V8 by
AD[_2_]
I was surprised to find that A4 and A6 are worlds apart. I thought A6
is a bigger A4 but in fact it;s a smaller A8 I guess.
(Never driven an A8 and have no need for one). A4 is nimble and A6
does it's best to hide it's heft but it shows a bit.
Still, a far cry from a boat I have erroneously...

2003 A4 1.8T avant quattro: to hitch or not to hitch: that is the question by
AD[_2_]
Hi there,
I have specifically shyed away from A6 2.7T and sport package on A4 to
have some
meaningful road clearance to navigate snowpiles around here.
Now I read this tread:
http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=2790428
and I've got to ask: how much do I give up with a hitch?

Studdable vs studded or how-do-we-cope-in-minnessotta by
AD[_2_]
I've noticed none of the tires offered on tirerack are factory
studded.
Is that tirerack specific or you could not get factory studded tires
in the US of A?
A ploy to keep hakkapeliitta 7 out of the US is suspected :)

CAFE equivalent in audi homeland???? by

A4L regional trial by

me thinks it would do audi some good to try a pilot sale (trial run)
of A4L in the nothern kaulifornia

Given the large chinese enclave that is used to the longer wheelbase
A4 i suspect it will sell quite well
to the folk who could not get themselves to justify the extra heft...

Puzzled by the rubber choice of the previous owner by
AD[_2_]
My A4 Avant Quattro came with 17" original rims wearing Continental
ContiProContact
235/45R17 so I assume the car has sport package (A cursory look at the
spare
revealed that it is also 17")
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why would any one buy a
car with
sport package and outfit it...

cylinder deactivation idiocy by
AD[_2_]
sooo, now that a4 2.0T is likely to get 2 cylinder deactivation (and
the accompanying increased lag in engine response)
does it mean 5 cylinder 2.5T spared of that idiocy would be an
available option for the up and coming a4?
manual 5 or 6sp option, please
