• Audi A6 Avant - 2.5 TDi Auto losing power on gradients - help! 13 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I have an Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDi Auto 59,000 miles in great general condition and recently serviced. For some time I have been worried as the car will not go up anything remotely resembling a gradient. It will drive very well, quietly and at high speeds on a flat motorway.
• Audi A4 B8 - ipods 7 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  As I know from experience how threads get slightly off track, could I make a plea not to let this degenerate into a "Whatever made you buy an Audi" topic.

• Audi A4 B8 (2008 - ) - Multitronic reliability 25 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  between the skate-like BMW and the four poster Merc. However, I?ve read nasty reports about the longevity of the Multitronic auto box. I know Audi claim to have beefed it up recently (not before time) and it?s too early to tell if that has improved the reliability. It would be useful to hear the full story of this upgrade if anyone knows it.
• Audi A3 cabrio (2008 - ) - Showroom impressions 16 May 2008 (Forum)
  Took a visit to the local Audi dealer today to see the new cabrio. No idea what it drives like, but it looks quite smart, very quick roof (but only on the top two models), has plenty of room for two adults in the back seats and has a good sized boot, roof up or down, alloys on Sport model are pleasing to the eye.
• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - How to find your car's exact engine spec? 4 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  This happens before you would expect it as I'm sure it's not near the top revs for the gear. This is most apparent if just started and going up a hill. Local audi dealers looked at the air mass meter but then decided it might be the turbo. That was 6 months ago and it hasn't got any worse - just annoying. The dealer i bought it from said they thought the car had been chipped to bring it to 130bhp but had no proof and i have no way of knowing - it certainly doesn't feel like 130 bhp.
• I love Audi TTs!/A fool and his money... 25 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Ever since they came out I have loved the look of the Audi TT and have always dreamed of getting one, lack of a driving licence and the price tag was always off putting, but I'm trying to put that right I'm in the army and due to start driver training in January, shortly after I am due promotion (at which point I'll be on about £20k, _after_ tax and outgoings for food and rent) so maybe there is a chance I could afford one In January I'll be 24 and only 7 months off my 25th birthday (when my car insurance should drop?)

• Audi A4 Avant - water leak in cabin 22 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi We have recently bought a '96 Audi A4 Avant which is suffering from water leaking into the cabin. The rear seat behind the driver's seat is getting soaked, and the carpet in this area seems to be getting damp too. Have also found some damp on the front passenger seat.
• Audi RS4 v BMW M5 service costs?? 23 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  Insurance is quite reasonable on these two cars considering I am 27 and my wife 23 (£540 - 850 fully comp). I have recently been out in a German colleagues Audi RS4 Avant which is now pushing out 470bhp (std 380bhp) and I was hooked. I have also noticed that you can buy a 3-4 year old BMW M5 for arounf £25,000 with reasonable mileage, which also sounds a decent price.
• Glow Plug changing on Audi A6 2.5 TDI? 20 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  All but 1 of the glow plugs are the original factory fitted items so I am considering getting all 6 renewed to try and improve starting. However, my local (non-franchise) VW/Audi specialist is not particularly keen to replace the glow plugs on this engine as they have had several instances where they have snapped while trying to remove them, which then becomes a major job to drill out the plug.
• Good buy or leave well alone? 6 Sep 2001 (Forum)
  The trader is currently driving the car around and aparrently all electrics etc. work fine. It has a full Audi service history with receipts and has the Audi warranty has been re-instated. I am very keen to get an A6 Avant and am sorely tempted by this, but potentially what damage has the water done to the car in the short and long term?

• Skoda Octavia - VAG PD Engines 10 Nov 2022 (Forum)
  Whilst searching for a replacement for my Audi A4 PD Tdi 130 I noticed that the Octavia fitted the PD engine without a DPF right until 2008. But power output of the Octavia is limited to 105 and the engine seems harsher and noisier than my Audi.

• Near miss 11 Oct 2020 (Forum)
  A safe distance between me and the moving car is now as nothing bearing down on the stopped  car. I had an Audi in the process of overtaking me, Just managed to avoid the stationary car and accelerated to avoid the Audi too. No hard shoulder for the stationary car to take refuge in. I guess the guy behind had to do the same as me and that no one else hit that car.
