engine doenst want to go faster anymore ( it remains on the same speed )

It's your car telling to you slow down you lunatic.

Aside from the fact that you don't know where he drives the car, his
description indicates something is wrong with it.

So, be it allowed or not, I'd also like to know everything is in order
with my car.

germany most of the times :-) besides I would expect a more mature answer

Just having a laugh, don't take it so seriously.
But even in Germany doing 180Kmh can't be a wise thing, whether your car is
working or not.

Ever heard of the term "german autobahn"? It´s not illegal to drive 180km/h
on most of them - so whats the problem?

OK, drive at whatever speed you like. I am an Audi mechanic and worked on
many A4s in the UK, and I personally wouldn't drive an A4 at that speed, as
in my opinion, the car is far too lightweight to be safe at nearly 200KMh.
If I was ever going to drive at that speed, I would only do so with an A6 or
higher. Just because its legal, doesn't mean it's safe, you need to use your
own judgement that your vehicle can sustain balance and handling at these
speeds.

The S4, which is the same weight class as an A4 can go faster easily.
Many A4 are regularly driven faster than that on German Autobahns and
nobody really has a problem with that.

The A4 is not exactly a lightweight car. It's around 1.4 metric tons?

And moreover, the same would be true for BMW's and Mercs.

I just looked it up: The Porsche 911 has around 1450 kg and nobody
would question it's ability to go way fast quite safely.

IMO there is no real relation between speed safety and weight as long
as lift and drag are figured in properly.

It does in most circumstances, otherwise it wouldn't be legal. If it
does make sense is another question.

But what has that to do with weight?

Well to be honest i was driving my a4 way over 220 more like 235/240 ( its
tuned ) and still then the car reacts magnificent ! i already had some nice
cars ( bmw,mercs, vw etc etc ) but this Audi is one of the best :-)

230-240 is about 140mph init, I have hit that once or twice, and jeez you
are traveling then, I think the top speed of the 1.8T Q is 141.

I find the Audi at speeds of 100mph actually very nice to drive,
