• Audi A4 - Shoddy car repair 3 Jun 2016 (Forum)

• Audi A4 avant 3.0Tdi V6 Quattro July 2012 (30K) - Rumble from 60mph 9 Mar 2016 (Forum)
   If I accelerate up to 80mph and then release the accelerator so as the speed falls back to within the 60-70mph range, it's pretty noticeable. Bearing in mind the known weaknesses of theses cars, and Audi's in general, could this be the drive shaft bearings ? Thanks for any ideas you may have.
• 2002 Audi TT - OSF side light keeps blowing 1 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  I've just picked up an Audi TT (2002). The car is very clean with an excellent service history. On inspection at the garage I noticed the OSF side light was out, which the seller gladly replaced when mentioned. Traveling home I had to use the headlights which all seemed fine, then the next day I noticed the OSF side light had blown again which I just put down as one of them things and replaced it.
• Audi TT, pre 2006. - 180 or 225 22 Jan 2016 (Forum)
  In a nut shell, I've been looking at purchasing a 02 -05 plate Audi TT and would just like to know if there is a significant difference between the 180 and 225. The 225 is my preferred option but I am finding it hard to get the colour combo with FSH that like. I have however come across a couple of 180 Bhp motors that tick all the boxes except the 225bhp one.

  Should I remap the engine of my recently acquired Audi A3 Sportback 1.4 petrol with 32,000 miles on the clock? A local garage is offering Superchips, which...

• Audi A4 Avant - Dented fuel tank 7 May 2014 (Forum)
  This would mean having a whole new fuel tank at £1100 inc labour,. I cannot understand why just a new breather is possible but Audi say it is not. I can live with a slight dent in the fuel tank as it still takes over 80 quid to fill it!! so the dent is not that big. My concern is if the fuel tank continues to shrink which i will recognise, but what about if it shrinks so quickly that the fuel cannot be sent to the engine - - i dont want to cut out on the motorway!!
• 2004 Audi A3 2.0 fsi sport. - Alarm problems 1 Oct 2013 (Forum)
  The alarm has also been beeping whilst I have been driving around which can be quite embarrassing.. The nearest Audi dealer is quite some distance from my home so if anyone can give me a clue to what could be wrong I'd be very grateful. Thanks..
• Audi A4 diesel saloon - Low-mileage turbro failure 28 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  The car has engine auto-stop as a default and a journey to the office is 13 miles of motorway, the  off slip has lights and at red the engine usually stops when the car is stopped.  Audi suggested that auto-stop was not the cause or contributory to the problem. I have my doubts and now switch it off for every journey. What are your thoughts about auto-stop on such a diesel? Rusty-rim
• Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro - Intermittent Electrics 29 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  I have a 2006 Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro and from time to time the electrics start blinking intermittently. The headlights, tail lights, instrument panel, MMI, all start flickering, but to date I have not felt that the car engine or power is affected.
• Audi S8 - Dunlop Sport 3000 tyres 30 Oct 2011 (Forum)
   They have stopped making them and due to poor tracking which I had failed to notice the fronts are stuffed.  The Audi book says that I need to have all four tyres the same make and tread, so I just need something to match the 2 rears, so part worn will do.  I will then change all 5 at the next full tyre change which should be in 15-20K miles, having just got a new job after the thick end of 2 years doing short time contracts I cannot afford the thick of a grand to change all 4 yet.
• Audi A6 Saloon - Fuel Injectors 9 Jun 2011 (Forum)
  Please please please help, I am the owner of an A6 that has had the usual oil pump failure problem, but this has gone onto further issues, after not going through Audi (they wanted £7500) to get the engine re-built i took it to an independant engine re-contioner, they charged me less but now i can see why, I am left with a re-build engine minus 4 injectors which they cannot source.
• 2005 Audi A4 2.0 TDI (140BHP) - Thermostat type 2 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a 2005 Audi A4 2.0 TDI and the temperature gauge barely moves above 50 degrees if at all. Somethings rises the width of the needle above the 50 degree mark. The car blows (luke-warm) hot air still. I think the termostat may be faulty (or perhaps has been taken out, I just bought the car and having lots of trouble so far).
• Audi A3 + S3 (2003 - 2008) - 2004 2.0TDi Dead A3.. possibly head gasket? 28 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Asking on behalf of a friend, she has an Audi A3, '54 reg. 2.0 TDi, 80k miles. We believe the head gasket has gone, amongst other things! She has taken it to my very reliable mechanic, who has said it's beyond him and will cost thousands to put right!
• Audi - Advice on new car 15 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  I need something bigger with the new car as we now have a large dog, plus I need something which can take the knocks on the unmetalled roads around where we live (the Jag's 18" wheels and LP tyres have been knocked into pieces). My company has deals with Ford (inc. Jag, Volvo and LR) and VW/Audi. I had an A4 Avant before the Jag and was very pleased with it, so I'm favouring either an Allroad or the new Q5, both 3.0 TDI. Any views on either of these two, or suggestions of viable alternatives from the Ford or VW stables?
• Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - 03 5 year cam-belt replacement cost 15 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I have a 2003 TDi A4 Avant. I have had it from new and it has not done 50k miles yet. I got a letter from my local Audi dealer a few days ago advising that I should have my main cam belt replaced as it could result in a costly bill if it broke and damaged the engine. When I asked them how much this would cost they quoted a few pounds shy of £650!
• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 97 1.8T Head gasket blown. 1 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  The oil cooler has been checked and is fine. The water pump is yet to be checked but will be replaced as a new one is only £25 for a genuine Audi pump. Does anyone know anything about what is known to cause the gasket to fail on these engines? Also what products are there on the market that will get rid of the huge amount of oil in the cooling system.
• Audi A3 Sportback (2004 - ) - 2007 1.6 Restless ride 5 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  My 6 months old Audi A3 1.6 special edition automatic has what I can only describe as a restless ride, which is very tiring. To date the car has covered less than 2k miles because it is uncomfortable to use. The car I test drove at a local dealer had a firm but steady ride and, I have owned 3 VW's before this so I am used to a firmer ride quality.
• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - Trying to find a CD player!! 27 Apr 2008 (Forum)

• Audi A8 (1994 - 2003) - 2001 2.8ltr Will Not Start (Sometimes) 3 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  Message re posted from earlier (with appropriate detail added to the subject line) - apologies ! Dear All Anyone had an Audi that would not start when the engine is mildly warm ? My A8 always starts from cold and from hot, but sometimes will not re start if it's only been running for a few miles and it's really trying my patience.
