    A4 avant 170ps

    My wife has taken delivery of her new (to her) company car. She ordered a 170ps s line avant, it is to replace a golf gt 170ps. The audi seems slow compared to the golf. How can I tell if it is the 170 she has been given and not a 140? Many Thanks

    2.8 v6 24v

    The best power increase is to supercharge it. You can expect 300bhp from that kit. I think you need to import the kit from the US and will cost you about 3-4k (pounds). A little less investment and BHP is a chip from upsolute. They will give you 210 bhp for 285 pounds, supersprint do a set...

    Wireless Xbox

    Yes I am using a d-link wirless access point (dwl-900ap+) and my DSL-G604t wireless adsl router, although I believe alot of people say d-link are quite difficult to configure. Haven't been on much lately, normally play PGR 2 and rainbow six, gamertag is quattro28.

    2.8 30v Chip?

    The upsolute chip in the UK is giving 17bhp for 285 pounds sterling which I don't think is too bad. Link that to the induction kit you mention then some headers and an exhaust system and I reckon you wouldn't be far away from 230 bhp.

    rear movement

    Not sure what the set up is at the rear of your car but it sounds like rear wishbone bushes, does it have rear wishbones? A friend had this many years ago on an escort, over a bump you could feel the back end kinda step out. Hope this helps

    Audi specialist in or around Derbyshire

    Hi Guys, Can anyone help me with the above info? I need to get my timing chain tensioner seals/gaskets replaced and Audi are quoting 5 hours at 70 per hour.

    timing chain tensioner

    Well I have been having trouble with oil dripping on to the exhaust mainfold recently and think now it has been tracked down to gaskets on the timing chain tensioning device. The Audi main dealer changing these is as big as doing a timing chain and want 5 hours labour at 70 pounds per hour. I...

    A4 Avant 2.8 Quattro model year / tiptronic

    Yes as you said I got the 2.8 quattro avant tiptronic and from only ever owning manuals, except when I was living in the states, I must say that I am very happy with my choice. I think the auto box more suits this cars power delivery and handling and I would imagine that the manual gearbox...

    Burning oil smell

    I know it is a bit of a long shot but I have recently bought a A4 2.8 quattro and after a long run tha engine bay smells of burning oil. It is definatly from a leak somewhere high enough to drip the oil onto the exhaust. I have fitted 2 new cam cover gaskets and the cam seal where done 3K ago...

    upsolute A4 2.8 quattro

    yeah i have had a trial Revo remap in the Golf and it was producing 230bhp, but my wife uses that car now and most of our long journeys are in the A4. Upsolute quote 18bhp and better fuel consumption for 285 pounds which I don't think sounds too bad. My last wagon was an Impreza with 250ish...

    Ghost window opening?

    yeah I have had it happen to the drivers window, sunroof and passenger window all in two weeks! It's just a bit worring if it happens when it's parked on the street. I may ask at the main dealers if they have heard of it before as I have to go there to collect a cam cover gasket. Thanks for...

    Ghost window opening?

    I have a 98 A4 Avant 2.8 Quattro, and have noticed on a couple of occasions one of the windows or the sunroof open on its own. I guess it is something to do with the total closure system but wondered if anyone else has had this and whats the cure?
