  • estate or not an estate? 14 Sep 2004 (Forum)
    I do around 40K miles a year, get paid by the mile. So, the more mpg I get, the richer I get. I drive a lot at night and love the bmw and audi red dials inside Don?t want a saloon in audi though. Wife is telling me to get mondeo, but I have had these for 8 years on and off. (company cars) I just cant make my mind up. So I have a few choices. 1. bmw 525/530 tds saloon around £13K for a 2000/y 2. audi a4 avant 2000 around £11K but reminds me of passat 3. mg zt-t 130 53 plate £13K 10 miles 4.
  • Dead(ish) battery in Audi 90 31 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    I think I know the answer to this, but I'd be interested to hear a proper diagnosis. My old Audi has been given a holiday while I dodge the summer showers on my motorbike, and I was attempting to keep it from neglect by starting it up and running for a while every couple of weeks. This was not quite enough to keep the battery (not the original!)
  • Toyota Avensis D-4D 7 Jan 2004 (Forum)
    And how many of you let such highly qualitative judgments influence your choice of motor? Note that in the end SWMBO preferred the Audi. And the Avensis is damned ugly, isn't it?
  • 1989 audi 100 quattro..... 12 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    A firm bang on the dashboard over the speedo area would stop the engine's miss and settle the speedo at the same time. A local audi mechanic said there is no connection between the speedo and the engine's performance but I know I wasn't imaginaning it!!! Subsequently I eventually fitted a second hand speedo which solved both the afore mentioned problems confirming to me that there must be some kind of connection between speedo and engine (perhaps through the engine management?
  • Passat service indicator 22 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    There is a way of reseting the service indicator on VW's using the ignition and turn signals but I have forgotten how. Can someone remind me please, its the same for all Audi & Volkswagons thanks Stuart
  • Good deal or what ? 12 Feb 2003 (Forum)

  • A3 14 Apr 2002 (Forum)
    Hi there, I am thinking of buying an Audi A3 for around £10,000. Is there anything I should be aware of. Also, how will the prices of the current A3 be affected when the new model comes out next year? Thanks Steve
  • Audi A4 B8 Avant (2008 - - 2.0TDi CR v PD 31 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    John Farrell wanted my thoughts on the comparison - see Audi TT diesel running in thread. I've had a new A4 Avant for the last two days which has the 2.0TDi CR unit - output unknown, but I suspect 140. My last courtesy car a couple of weeks ago was an A3 with the 2.0TDi PD engine.
  • Heart v Head - Choose my lease car 14 May 2006 (Forum)
    I've worked out a shortlist and had the quotes, and my contribution for the following cars, including income tax, per month for four years, is (all specc-ed with metallic paint): Honda Jazz 1.4 dsi sport £110 Fabia vRS with added cruise control and side airbags: £130 Audi 1.9tdi SE: £220 Audi 1.9tdi Sport with cruise control: £230 Ibiza Cupra with cruise control: £230 I think the Audis and the Ibiza are out of budget, so realistically that leaves the Jazz and the vRS.
  • Audi A3 + S3 (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.0 FSI Cruise Control Problem 28 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    I originally took it back to the garage I bought it from, who have done their best to resolve the problem; They changed the cruise control stalk on the steering column but this didn't fix it.They then decide it had to go to an Audi dealer for further investigation, who informed me they 'thought' it was a 'Control Column ECU'. Needless to say, when I picked the car up from the Audi garage and drove it home, the cruise control promptly failed.

  • N/A - overheating discs 22 Jul 2019 (Forum)
    As the car is obviously a performance car surely the brakes should be up to the job and not be giving the owner grief.  The owner insists to Audi that the car is driven normally.

  • Passat Pd100 B5.5 - Passat tdi no boost, vacuum lines 11 Nov 2013 (Forum)
    I'm looking for info or a diagram of the Vw/Audi AVB 1.9 Tdi vacuum hose setup I've just replaced the stock Avb turbo with an Audi AWX (Gt1749va), whilst doing this all vacuum hoses we're replaced one at a time off and straight back on. The air box was off for two days whilst awaiting an AWX lower boost hose so I think it's one from there to the Egr or thereabouts as I've probably mixed them up.
