  • Audi A4 cutout when hot 28 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    I bought my wife an Audi A4 1.8 saloon 1995 (non turbo) earlier this year. It is a very nice car but has one annoying fault that is getting worse and I cannot understand it. It starts well from cold but when warm may start and run for a few seconds and then cut out.
  • audi a4 tdi oil mist showing. 15 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Audi A4 avant tdi 130 2002 (51 plate) Total novice I'm afraid, but wanting to have a go, or hoping for some reasurance. I have noticed an oily mist appearing on underside of fancy engine cover trim. Taken cover off and it appears to come from the fuel intake manifold (high level), what I assume is the automatic choke.
  • Audi S6 16 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    OH! MY! WORD! Audi (bless them) invited me to a test drive day, to try three cars at a local health spa. And they had the new Gallardo-engined S6 to play with! (414 bhp in a five-seater saloon.) I cannot describe to you how good this engine is ?
  • Audi A4 1.9TDi revving and idle issue 27 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    Points to note, - the overrevving does not occur when the engine is cold - the overrevving happens say 2 in every 3 warm starts - my Audi dealer has had the car in for service but found no fault - I start the car as I always have - no accelerator Not a serious problem I admit, more annoying, but the overrevving must be doing a small amount of harm.
  • Audi A4 TDi starts then stops 15 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    Reading the fault codes from the immobiliser ECU flagged a "Transponder low output" fault code, kind of confirming the fault. Replaced the ignition barrel, cut to the car using the VIN so no coding etc was required by Audi (I refuse to pay £84+VAT/hr labour rates...) Now I know how to replace the barrel, it's easy, but it was a bit of a fiddle at the time! Just passing on my success story.....hope it's of help to others. -- http://groups.msn.com/honestjohn - Pictures say a thousand words.....
  • Order timescales for Audi 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    I have ordered one of the new Audi A6 Avant and been told that the dealer couldn't confirm a delivery timescale before ordering. Instead they would be advised of a "build week" once the car went on their system. Well that was four weeks ago and the build week is still not visible to the dealer.
  • Audi 80 Front Wheel Left Wheel Slips? 26 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    Hi all, I am new to this so here goes: I have recently bought an Audi 80 TDi 1994 M reg. When driving the car, espcecially when going round sharp bends or when im turning the steering allot the front wheel feels as though it is slipping or spinning on its own accord. what could this be?
  • Audi 80 headlights 4 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    I've got a 1995, M reg Audi 80 2.0E, and over the past few months I've noticed that the headlights (dipped beam) don't seem to be very bright, in fact I find it difficult to drive on motorways and on country lane at night. Yes I have checked that both bulbs are working and the lens are clean and I know my eyesight is okay as I don't have the same problem with our other 2 year old car.
  • Audi A3 diesel/petrol 18 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    Dear All, I wonder whether any of you knowledgeable people could point me in the right direction: I like the Audi A3 but am unsure about model. Specifically, I am looking at a 1.6 FSI vs. a 1.9 TDI. I am not a high-mileage driver, and it would appear that I need to do just over 15,000 miles p/a over three years to make up the difference of £770.
  • Audi A3 uneven wear, rear tyres? 6 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    Hi, Im puzzled as to what is wrong with the rear of my car? I had a set of brand new Yoko 205/55/16 tyres put on my Audi A3 1.6 sport back in May. I?ve just renewed the rear pads (which was a bit of a nightmare) but on removal of the rear wheels I have noticed that I also now need two new tyres as the inner edges of both tyres have canvas showing!!
  • Audi 80 14 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    I have an Audi 80, 1989, 2L, 4cyl, EFI, automatic. The engine jitters, and shakes, revs are unstable and sometimes too low. It used to rev high in the morning before it drops and although it may stay below 900 it was still unstable.
  • Audi Avant not accelerate 11 Jun 2003 (Forum)
    I have a 1995 Audi Avant 1.9 TDi, 142,000 miles on the clock (not an automatic), serviced by a main dealer and cared for on the dot. I do a lot of mileage, much of it on motorways. In the last few months, usually when travelling up a long motorway incline, on occasion the car will accelerate up to around 70 mph, but it will not go faster.
  • Audi 100 s4 fuel consumption 14 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    Hi I have just bought a 1994 Audi S4 Avant Auto, it has been chipped to stage 1 level and has 270 HP, it is a great car, fantastic to drive and fast the only trouble is I am only averaging around 15mpg, for a mixture of town and dual carriage way driving, I do drive the car quite hard but my wife drives it mainly and very sedately and the mpg still does not increase much at all.
  • Driver's Seat Repair - Audi 29 Aug 2002 (Forum)
    Some people have recommended leathering the bolsters, which I don't want to do (expense, and I don't like the look) and another place has said there isn't enough meterial to take from anywhere else on the car (as apparently the original cloth is hard to get hold of). It's a 1991 H-Reg Audi Coupe. Any suggestions (or offers of very cheap replacement original seats) much appreciated! Cheers, Stuart
  • Audi A6 - any comments? 31 May 2001 (Forum)
    , one of the cars I was considering was the facelift model A6 due out soon in the TDi 130bhp version, as an Avant. I've read a lot about the inferiority of the Audi in the ride & handling department over other cars with a similar market (e.g. BMW etc), does anyone out there have any first hand comments? Obviously I'm going to try one for myself, but there's no substitute for long term experience!
  • vibration in gear lever 98 Audi A4 25 May 2001 (Forum)
    If I increase the reve on the enging very slightly the vibration stops, also if the steering is turned ever so slightly again the vibration dissapears. I have contacted the Audi dealer but they are unable to shed any light on the problem. I would be very greatful for any advice on this intermitent problem. I checked honest Johns web site and noticed that 98 A4s were recalled for a vibration damper, could this be my problem
  • 1988 Audi 90 Quattro re unleaded 4 Apr 2001 (Forum)
    My brother currently is running a 1988 Audi 90 Quattro 2.2 injection 10 valve. He is running it only on LRP and it does state that it will only run on 98 ron minimum on the fuel filler flap. He is going to get rid but would keep it if he could run it on unleaded without a great cost of conversion.
  • My new Audi A3 automatic is going to take nine months to arrive! What are my rights? 6 Sep 2010 (Ask HJ)
    I signed an order and paid the deposit on a new Audi A3 Cabriolet automatic on 24 May and the order says for delivery in mid-September (although the dealer...
