HopA4TSport is right, it is the car he is thinking of. I saw the car at the Audi stand at Le Mans this year and that's where i took the photo. It is absolutley gorgeous in real life and the photo doesn't do it justice! they HAVE to make it!

i guess it depends how clogged the throttle body is as to what is needed to clean it. it wasn't a fuel additive as far as i'm aware, more of a flush through directly. i will find out from the specialist on wednesday when the car goes in again for the temp problem. for the £3 it cost me and...

i think simon is right on this one as i have found out that the cleaner put through my engine was for the throttle bodies. the specialst also thinks that the slightly higher revving (intermittant - and blip throttle and it's fine again) at idle since the clean is due to the temp not being...

i would like the option for the switch but it's an extra £200 to add on to my car as i do not have the cruise stalk. i think that this is a definite mod for the car in the new year once xmas is over and everything settles down again. K212, did you get any grief after chipping the engine? do...

hi guys, i am thinking about chipping my 1.8t but do a lot of miles. what sort of impact will a chip have on my mpg? i have a feeling that no matter what the answer the temptation of 200+ bhp will be too much to resist!

it has done this during the year i've had the car, even after servicing. i have changed plugs, filters etc and nothing seems to make a difference. the overall drive is very smooth and not lumpy at all - only at rolling speeds is there a problem. just had temp sensor replaced and a cleaner put...

I've got a problem with my '96 a4 1.8t idling. When i am slowly rolling in traffic (with clutch in or in neutral), say 5mph, my idle 'bounces' between 300rpm and 800/900rpm. once i have stopped it levels out to a steady 800/900rpm idle. at higher speeds with the clutch in there is not a problem...
