yep performance wise i think the 1.8 20v engine is not good. I've got the A4 1.8SE and it really lacks pull. Although it does hav sum punch when u drop to 3rd and put ur fut down on motorway to do a 30-70 sprint.
Maybe i just feel this coz i drive my honda S2000 and 728i more.

all sorted, well for now anyways.
The battery was changed recently and this did make it worse, but didnt want to do throttle adaptation until i cleaned it.
So here is what I did:

2. Removed a bolt holding the first section...
Hi guys me again,
there seems to be a clear hose loose to the left of the battery. its about 1cm in diametre and is not connected to anything. Ive been told it is used to prevent overflow in some batteries. This does not make anysense to me? anyone?

Sorry to bring this subject up again but i think my throttle body is dirty again. I cleaned it last year and the bouncy idle was cured but now its back. Last time the garage cleaned it for me and i want to try for myself this time.
Im not a car expert, in fact the only hands on i've had is...

I'm gonna go for the remote kit at VAG parts for 2 reasons.
1. Looks fairly simply to install (hope it really is though)
2. Looks quality - not like the ones on ebay. Mind you, the flip key one on ebay looks appealing but not too sure about quality. Also...
Hi guys,
I have a 1995 Audi A4 1.8SE which does not have remote alarm system. The alarm is armed by key (honks) and if you keep the key turned the windows will close also.
I want to get a keyless entry system that will arm the alarm, lock the car and also windows. Seen the ones on ebay but...
Im actually looking at buyin an S8 myself. Not too sure though, as my experiences of Audi aint very promising. I took it for a test drive - its a very comfortably, fast and responsive drive. But there is something about the interior which doesnt really do it for me.- Its nice dont get me wronge...

Since some little idiot scratched both my cars (from front wing to back) I'm also lookin at gettin it repaired. More concerned about...
Hey i've noticed that docklands audi tend to be very friendly and helpful. My friend gets his A4 cab serviced from them. I think its to do with their target customers - bankers and stock brokers - so you'll get top service there.
hey i got them in my 7 series BMW. These two tiny circular lights - u dont notice them but when u turn head lights on they turn on - they give the inside of the car a slight touch of illumination to help ur night vision. You'll notice this especially when driving in a totally pitch black road at...
