Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - 03 1.9 Cambelt replacement warranty/ liability GEN 30 Jul 2009 (Forum)
Hi, In Aug 2006 I purchased a 130 TDI Avant from a used dealer. As the car had done circa. 59K miles I asked him to get the cambelt changed by the local Audi specialist mechanic he used before handing the car over. This he duly did and charged me around £250 which was itemised on his final sales invoice. Around a year later however I got my car serviced by the same independent mechanic and he called to let me know the cambelt was due a change. -
3 year Audi servicing deal is not what it appears 29 Jul 2009 (Forum)
Interestingly when I asked the cost of an oil change it was £150 and if done at the same time as the "inspection sevice", which is the prefered option by most, the total cost comes to .....£250. So what I paid for was an upfront service with no discount...methinks that Audi are being more than a little disingenuous. I'd be interested in anyone else's experience of this or similar offers. -

The Audi is 2.... 27 Feb 2006 (Forum)
- and I think it may eb too expensive anyway) Mazda 6 estate 2.0 diesel (but no auto) Ford C-Max 2.0 TDCI (auto is torque-converter and will sap performance) Audi A4 Avant 2.0 - might seem the obvious choice but still expensive and I might as well have the Golf or the Skoda as the engine is the same. I always enjoy helping others on this forum in choosing a car, so have fun on me this time. -
Considering a Golf 1.8 20v GTI 1998-2000 9 Nov 2004 (Forum)
Found it very hard to fault the rest of the car however. I actually consider the plastics in the golf to be better than the 1998+ audi a3 and bmw 3 series compact (latest one), with the audi coming a close second. Also I have heard about premature cambelt failure at about 70k-80k, surely the cambelt change should be before then, anyway? -
Audi A4 Coolant Loss 23 Jun 2004 (Forum)

On inspeciton I foudn that it seemed to be boiling off at the top hose to the radiator was too hot to touch, but the radiator was cold.

Audi 20V - oily exhaust 8 Mar 2004 (Forum)
I've just bought a (very cheap) Audi Coupe 20V, 1991, 128K on the clock and no history. It runs beautifully, except that it is blowing unburnt engine oil out of the exhaust. Oil is accumulating inside the tailpipes and dripping onto the ground at rest. -
Audi Coupe - Strange Vibration 31 Jul 2002 (Forum)
Hi All, I have had my 1990 H-Reg Audi Coupe 2.0 litre for about a year now. Ever since purchase, I have experienced a vibration through the steering wheel at speeds of roughly 55-65mph. To illustrate what I mean, if you remove your hands from the wheel at these speeds, you can see the wheel "wobbling" about 3 inches each way, although the car remains straight. -

Volvo Audi - 2 Ltr petrol non Turbo options plus VAG 1.9TDI 11 Jan 2023 (Forum)
Should be alright to drive as it is a Focus underneath. Engine would be Mazda wouldn't it? Audi A4 saloon 2 ltr. NA engine and seems in very good condition with acceptable level of miles. A saloon though, never had a saloon car before. There is an Avant with the same engine as well locally but a year older and annoyingly with a cassette payer specced (this comes with two sets of tires though and is from an Audi main dealer). -
