• Audi - 3.2FSI vs 3.0TDI 1 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Hi, Do you have any experience driving any of this (primary in B7/B8 Audi A4)? I know that the new 3.0TDI is probably better (acceleration, fuel consumption, torgue) but it's considerably more expensive than 3.2FSI. Putting fuel consumption on the side as I don't drive much (5-10k a year) how would you compare these 2 engines?
• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - 1998 1.8 immobiliser confusion 10 Mar 2009 (Forum)

• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - 1997 1.6 - Car juddering while accelerating. 7 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Hi all, My 1997 Audi A3 1.6 developed a problem yesterday while driving on the motorway in heavy rain (don't know if that's relevant). Basically, in all gears from 1000 to 2500/3000 revs it judders while accelerating, after which it runs smoothly despite an obvious lack of power - I can get to 80mph in 4th gear but 5th gear does practically nothing, whereas before 4th gear would be at quite high revs and 5th would accelerate the car still.
• Audi A8 (1994 - 2003) - 01 2.8ltr petrol (APR) will not start 15 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  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.
• Audi A4 B6 (2001 - 2005) - A4 1.9 TDI 03 what BHP? 22 Feb 2008 (Forum)

• Audi A3 Sportback (2004 - ) - roof rails and general space 29 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Also wondered how practical it is in terms of boot space etc. Not a very sexy question I know but have a young family now and really want to stay with Audi if I can as my current A3 is brilliant (can't afford an A4 Avant unfortunately).
• Audi A4 (1995 - 2000) - 1996 1.8 Faulty Electronic Immobiliser 19 Jan 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Audi A4 1996, about a month ago my electronic immobiliser symbol came on now & then while mobile! And when I try to start it in the morning it cuts out but on the third attempt it starts. I have now noticed if I wait for the symbol to stop flashing it will start.
• Audi A3 + S3 (1996 - 2001) - why the lacquer layer on top of metallic 5 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  My brother in law has a 1999 metallic green Audi A4 and he has said in the past he has bought Tcut metallic green polish to get some football scratches out of his bonnet surely if he has done this he will have rubbed away the clear lacquer layer that is sprayed on top of the metallic paint.

• Audi A6 + RS6 (1997 - 2004) - HT Leads - replacement time? [as plugs, cambelt?] 3 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  How long do HT leads last? I had a bit of hesitant starting 5,000 miles ago [1998 Audi A6 2.8, now 98,000] but all is OK now, so thought it might have been a tankful of dodgy fuel. I bought it at 77,000 with FSH so I am fairly certain they are original. Is there not an argument for routine replacement as early sign of failure [un-noticed misfiring, especially on engines with more than 4 cylinders] could damge the cat with unburnt fuel?
• Advise wanted on buying Audi A3 TDI 5 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Hello all, I would appreciate your expert opinions on buying an high mileage diesel A3. I have an opportunity to buy an Audi A3 TDI 100bhp SE 2003/03 with FSH but am concerned about the high mileage of 112,000 miles. Although this will be taken into account in the price, I am worried that I could be looking at expensive repairs or overhauls.
• Audi A6 - water leaks into the interior 29 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  Hi Hope someone can help I have a problem with water leaks in my 1998 Audi A6 saloon. The problem lies with water gaining entry into the back passenger footwell. Ive taken the pollen filter out, battery etc to check all drain holes are unblocked. Last night I put a hose on the windscreen and the water started coming through the air inlet (through the pollen filter) the pollen filter was soaked.

• Audi A4 carbon monoxide excessive 9 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  The engine was new 3 years ago and uses no oil at all. The cat doesn't tinkle like I've heard on some Audis, but I'd say the exhaust has got a little noisier recently. A cat is approx £90 from GSF. Would Backroomers replace the cat as a matter of course, or is there there any other likely cause? BTW I forgot to do the italien tuneup before dropping the car at the MOT station.
• Flashing glow plug light on Audi A4 9 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  Hello, Car:- Audi A4 Avant 1.9tdi 130SE. In December, I noticed that the glowplug light on the dash was flashing. It only flashed for about a minute then the light went out. It has not flashed since, just illuminated when I am about to start the car, like it should.
• An expensive accident, a simple solution 31 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Just seen a multi thousand pound prang caused by a handbrake failure. Simply leaving the car in reverse would have saved the driver an expensive insurance claim. Audi convertible has rolled down the hill glancing an 06 reg Passat causing damage to all four drivers side panels, then hitting a pick up damaging the front of this and in the process denting the front end of the Audi and in the process damaging the coolant system.
• Audi A4 Starting Problem 18 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Hi All, I've got an Audi A4 which about twice a year refuses to start. It's a 1.8 non turbo petrol car from '96. The symptom is that the engine seems to have no compression and turns over really quickly. I know it's got hydraulic cam followers and I've been told that sometimes they can cause valves to stick open slightly , hence the lack of compression.
• Audi A4 TDi 90 - Yet Another New Gearbox 20 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Can anyone tell me the warranty period on a new gearbox and if it is still in warranty he will have any issues by virtue of the fact that the work was done at an Audi dealer in France? He does tow a caravan but this does seem unbelievably bad luck. He is going to buy Japanese next time.
• Audi A4 21 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  I've been offered a 1996 audi A4 (1.6 poverty spec model) for about £2.2K. (About right according to the book). However I have a few concerns with it. According to the clock it's done 85K and the history says 65K up to two years ago (Believable).
