  • Audi A4 B5 1.6 - poor mpg - anything i can do? 17 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    I have an Audi a4 1.6 petrol manual, and its giving really over the top figures for poor mpg. I put £20 in last week and i got 90 miles until the light came on again. @ 122.9 a litre, 90 miles, £20 spend works out for me at 25.14mpg.
  • Audi TT Coupe - Crankcase gas recirculation 4 Apr 2010 (Forum)
    It would seem the blowby gasses pick up oil vapour thus coating the various sensors, hoses etc. This seems to be more of a problem with direct injection engines - like those on modern Audis. The lack of fuel vapour into the inlet manifold means that a lot of the oil deposits are not washed away. It all beggars the question, why dont manufacturers build a filter into the system to catch the oil vapour?
  • Audi - How many men does it take to change a light bulb?! 14 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    Yes, of course dear (that's what fathers are for isn't it?) Daughter duly arrived shortly afterwards. Checked handbook. Ominously it said see you Audi dealer. Checked internet. First remove entire headlight assembly...... Now fortunately I live in a small town where people are helpful so I decided on the act daft routine and went down to my local car accessories shop.

  • Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 98 2.5 white smoke while driving fine on start-up 20 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    Hi All, Hope you can give some advise on my recent purchase (Monday). Audi A4 2.5 Tdi that is pumping out white smoke while driving, nothing on start up (and no problems starting), some smoke idling and normal driving, but excessive smoke if you floor it, only noticed it after a run up to 80mph filtering onto an A road and then stopping at a set of lights after a mile or so (lots of white smoke!).
  • Audi A6 + RS6 (1997 - 2004) - N reg Avant 2.0 petrol - Occasional misfire 26 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    I have inherited my late father's Audi A6 petrol Avant and whilst it generally runs well and returns 34mpg I have had a nagging problem. It has a misfire sometimes! It is more a hesitation or hiccup rather than a regular miss. The odd thing is that if the engine is switched off and restarted it normally totally dissappears.
  • Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - 2002 Avant 1.9 TDi - Oil sensor warning light 16 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    The warning light 'engine oil sensor faulty' has activated on the dash. On checking manual, it says; take car to Audi dealer and have the oil level sensor checked. Can anyone tell me where the sensor is and if it is something I can do myself. I suspect it is a false reading as the speedo is now playing up, juddering speed reading.
  • Audi A4 B7 (2005 - 2008) - 2.0 TDI 140 engine - fuel consumption 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    I was wondering why it seems that the Audi A4 with the 2.0 TDI 140 engine is so much more thirsty than other VAG cars with the same engine ? My car has now done 10.5K miles and compared to my old TDI 130 the fuel consumptions is still fairly unexciting.
  • Audi 80 Mk II (1991-1995) - Smoking VAG TDI engine 18 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    My Audi 80TDI has suddenly started smoking when the engine is ticking over after a run. The car has covered 120K mostly local miles and has a full VW service history. My VW specialist has treated the engine with injector cleaner and recommended a long run to clear the exhaust out.
  • Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - Wipers/Indicators/heater fan don't work 1 Oct 2007 (Forum)
    On my 1996 1.8 petrol Audi A4 the wipers/Indicators/heater fan don't work when the engine is running. They work fine when the engine is off (and ignition on). Somtimes I can make them work by putting my hand in the fusebox/relays area and waggling things around a bit.
  • Audi approved 9 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    So I thought I'd go to a main dealer and pay a premium for what I thought would be better cars. How wrong was I? I am amazed at what my local audi main dealer has the cheek to put on their forecourt. Tired old repcars, stonechipped to death, scratched by carwashes (and believe me we are not talking wear and tear here), smoked in cars with holes in the seats etc...

  • Audi A4 130 PD Diesel 2003 7 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Sorry folks if this in the wrong section, may get more views/responses here. Currently own an Audi A4, few problems with it, just wondering what the causes could be: Firstly, the car is idling too quickly, the rev meter is moving very slightly up and down and sitting in the car the car is giving a slight shake with the gearstick moving slightly aswell, doesnt happen all the time but noticable when your sitting at traffic lights etc.
  • Audi A3 1.8T 'Banging' when parking 9 May 2006 (Forum)
    All I have an R-Reg Audi A3 1.8T. When reversing out of my garage I hear a loud bang quite regularly. The garage has a steep slope leading down to the road, and the noise occurs just as the rear wheels go onto the down slope.
  • Audi A4 Climate Control 11 Jan 2006 (Forum)
    I have had cars with CC for the past 7 years and have never come across such a radical system up till now. Has anyone else seen this in their Audi ? The dealer, of course says there is nothing wrong with it.
  • Audi 80 E-reg, cat puzzle 18 Nov 2005 (Forum)
    Hi My father has an E-reg Audi 80 with a blowing exhaust. He took it to an exhaust place and they told him he needed a new system including catalytic converter. My father told him the car didn't have a cat and that he must have been looking at the wrong model.
  • MAF problem??? - Audi A4 1.9tdi 12 Mar 2004 (Forum)
    I am not sure if I have a problem with the MAf sensor on my 1996 Audi A4 1.9tdi (110) but perhaps the BR experts could tell. Driving down the M3 and felt something go a bit strange under the bonnet - can\'t recall what it was but I know it just felt a bit wierd. After that there was very very minimal acceleration in 4th and 5th gears, diminished in 3rd but seemingly OK in 1st and 2nd.
  • New Audi A3 and Oil 15 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    It's now a month and a half and the oil light came on again last night. Is this really normal for Audi's to do this? I mean we are in the 21st century. I have had cars in the past where I never topped up the oil, never had to. Is it because it's new? Any advice would be grateful. The dealer did give me some top up oil on my last oil visit but surely I don't have to keep topping the damn thing up every 5 minutes.
