• Audi A3 - A3 1.9 tdi pd 14 Apr 2017 (Forum)
  Hello Everyone,   I am very tempted with a locally advertised A3, it has the well respected 1.9 tdi/pd lump in it, 56reg, lowish 58kmiles. Research has told me that it is non DPF...138 k/gm,... approx late 07  Audi offered the same engine with a DPF...119 k/gm...I obviously prefer the earlier one (non/dpf), but would just like to ask  are there any differences in performance etc between the two? Also, generally what do people think of a 56 reg era A3 sportback?

• Audi A1 - Jurid brakes 14 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  The Front Pagid disc's that were fitted to my car 4,000 miles ago have warped, 90% of my driving is in the city. The VW/Audi specialist that are renewing the brakes have told me that they will be fitting Jurid pads and disc's. I've searched online to see if they are any good and have found there website and that Jurid is a Honeywell company but have not found many forums talking about Jurid and if there any good.

• Are Audis the most unreliable car on the road 25 Nov 2012 (Forum)
  Driving into work on my 15 mile commute this morning spotted 2 cars pushed off the road onto the verge of major roads, one was a 61 plate Q3 and the other a 62 plate A3. I appreciate that VW and Audi get a lot of flak on here about their products but to see these 2 cars within a mile of each other was a shock. Its quite rare to see stranded motors these days. A couple of miles later saw another car die when it managed to hit a wall doing about 60mph.
• Audi A1 - Flywheel and clutch damage 25 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  Dear All I've sadly fallen victim to dual mass flywheel issues on my 9 month old Audi A1.  I've lookeda round the internet and have discovered that DMF have been troublesome for all amnner of cars and warranties are not lived up to as the retailers blame it on driving style.  I read on this website that the difference in wear can be visible on a damaged clutch and flywheel between DMF being faulty and riding the clutch.
• Audi A4 S-line or BMW 3 M-Sport - Negotiating Discount on Used Cars 12 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  Having had a company car for the last 15 years a change of job means I need to purchase my next car. I am looking at 2.0L diesel either an Audi A4 S-Line or a BMW M-Sport.  I am looking to spend around £18k. So how much can I realistically expect to haggle off the cost of a car in this price bracket when buying from a dealer?
• Which VAG engines are best? 16 Jan 2012 (Forum)
  I'm looking into buying an Audi or maybe a VW. Which diesel engines out of the VAG group are best for reliability without being too sluggish? Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm a newbie to the world of VW I've heard about how oil pump failure on the 2.0 TDi Audi's can render the engine and turbo useless.

  Hi all. I just picked up a cheap X reg Audi A3 1.9tdi for a run around. When I start it up - even from cold - within a minute the warning symbol and beep from the dash come on saying I should check the coolant levels and the temp gauge shoots across to 120 degrees.

• Audi A4 Allroad (2009 - ) - 05 2.5 rusty doors 2 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Has anyone else got rust eating away at their doors , I reckon it is the alloy strips that cause it , as water fills the gap , audi won`t fix it so if anyone has an allroad check for rust bubbles above the alloy then go and have a good cry because your paint warranty is not worth the paper it is written on. You are not covered for external influence ie weather rain etc , this applies to the anti perforation cover too , so you are looking at about a grand per door , should have kept the range rover!
• Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - Historic list prices 7 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  Friend of mine is being offered by his tight fisted bosses a second hand company car. To whit a 53 plate Jan 2004 registered AUDI A4 AVANT TDI Sport 1896cc. We know its CO2 157g/km off the V5. We know where to find list prices of NEW cars but where in hell do you find the list price of an old car? Can anyone direct me to an historic database or alternatively give me the list price for the car as described above?
• Audi A4 V6 Turbo diesel failure? 6 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hiya, i have a Audi A4 turbo diesel 2.5 V6 engine, its 1999 (T) but i think it has a problem with its turbo, and was wondering whether anyone would know?

• Changing brake bulb - 2002 Audi A4 26 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Was just expecting a little hatch that unclips that you put your hand through - no such luck. The owners manual isnt much help - 'take to an Audi dealer or qualified outlet' I cant believe that something as simple as a 99p bulb is going to cost me in labour charges to get it fitted!!

• audi a4 tdi 1999 model alarm problem 31 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Recently on locking up the car the vehicle alarm has gone off randomly after 10-15minutes in the recent hot weather. I have two keys - a replacement key from audi which was progammed by them which I have used for two years and an original blipper fob key auto locks and sets the alarm. Both of these keys have operated correctly for the last two years. When I return to the car and reset the alarm all is quiet for 10-15mins and then it goes off again.
• Golf 2.0 Gti V Audi A3 1.8T 26 May 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Was just wondering what peoples thoughts are, I looking to get either a VW 2.0 Gti or Audi 1.8T Sport. I am looking to spend about £6000. I am slighty more swayed to the VW as I will get more for my money. I know the Gti isn't that quick but I only want something that has power when needed eg motorways.
