    Performance expectations of an A4 2.0 FSI

    Cheers for the response - I read the post about the clattering noise as if it was a diesel, and I totally know what you mean about the "no-thrills" aspect of it. It sounds as if the car is a good car in it's own right, and comparable to other makes in it's league, but obviously lacking the...

    Rear electric windows - which models have them?

    Does this mean standard on V6, or an optional extra if otherwise? If the latter, then I should ask the seller if it has them fitted to the rear, and assume they are aleady fitted on a V6?

    Performance expectations of an A4 2.0 FSI

    Hi all, I'm selling my A3 1.8T for an A4 Avant ready for the new baby. I really would like an 1.9 TDi (130) or 2.5 TDi in automatic or semi-automatic, but I'm finding them few and far between for my budget of upto £10k <80k miles on a 52/53 plate, with all the features that I require. Going...

    Fan blower kicks in when glove compartment door slams shut!

    At times, the fan blower doesn't come on at all when the engine starts, other times it does. If it doesn't, it can kick in at any time out of the blue. This is with air-con or or off. All the signs on the display light up as normal, but with no fan blowing. However, I only just discovered that...

    Fans not working!

    Hope you are still on this - I have this problem as well, but it sometimes comes and out of the blue. It may be a resistor or something, as I am told by an Audi technician. Is this attached to the motor itself, and does that mean a new motor or fixing in a new resistor? How did you get yours...

    Aircon fault code 18.3 - how to fix it?

    Hi all, Running the OBD from the climate control on my 98 A3 1.8T, I'm getting 18.1, then 18.3 which is "Fresh air voltage sporadic". I ran the diagnostic after noticing a squeaking noise from under the bonnet when the cooler was on, either with the aircon on or not. I thought it was just...

    Audi Sat Nav options/specs/features

    Hi all, I'm lookng to sell my A3 for an A4 as we have a baby on the way. I've had the unfortunate situation where my A3 was broken into and the TomTom nicked, but I'm holding off buying another until I get an A4. I want to get an integrated Satnav solution, be it an Audi or aftermarket kit...

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    Never really thought about an A6. Are the engines in the A4 the same in the A6? If so, what is the difference between the two models, is it all chassis, trim and spec level? A friend of mine who works for Audi commented on the running costs of A6's as far as servicing and repair costs, that are...

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    [ QUOTE ] i know this might be way out there on the suggestions front, but have you thought about a skoda superb edition 100 ? Massive cars with massive boots, massive equipment list, and massive rear legroom. Oh did I say it has loads of room ;-)...

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    Must have leather as you pointed out - thanks also for the tip on passenger space at the back. I 'll consider this. Also, I would only do 100+ if I'm on my own, never with the wife/baby. Does anyone know which is the best for chipping, 1.9TDi or 2.5TDi, in terms of end performance and...

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    Exactly! I'm often driving to the golf driving range, or supermarket which barely lets the car get to full temp by the time I get there. The car seems to be "on choke" all the time, pumping in a richer mix of petrol most of the time. I'm hoping the diesel will compensate the loss in mpg

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    [ QUOTE ] If you do very little mileage why are you looking at diesels? If I had the luxury of low mileage then I would be looking at an S4 if you can afford it. You'd have to be mad to go for diesel if your mileage is low, but then again you do play golf with an electric trolley, how lazy is...

    Which A4 TDi Avant for my needs?

    Hi everyone, I've read loads of threads about which model A4 Avant is better, but IMO, it all depends on what you as the driver want out of it. In my situation, I want to lose my A3 1.8T for an A4 Avant for the following reasons: - I play golf regularly, and have an electric trolley, and want...

    A4 Tdi tuning - which model tunes best?

    Sorry, I meant I'd be looking around 9k for the lowest spec model, though I would go up to £11k if it meant a bigger engine with performance/equipment at £11k. I've seen a few for around £12-13k, but by next year I'm hoping they'll come down a bit in price.

    A4 Tdi tuning - which model tunes best?

    If it's the 2.5 V6 Tdi, then it'll be the 2002 model (52 plate). I'll definitely buy second hand, around 3-4 years old. My budget £9k, though I will be tempted to go more if it had all the gizmos and excellent ability to chip. On another point, what is the "PD" engine and when did this come...

    A4 Tdi tuning - which model tunes best?

    Hi All, I've got an A3 1.8T which is unmolested, mainly because I know I want to upgrade to an A4 Avant Tdi in the near future. I plan to chip it but not sure which model to go for. I want the model that improves the best from a chip or remap, and be able to keep up with the big boys like...

    Best colour Audi? Why is silver no good?

    I'm in Watford and I've taken it into Pennings, they've won tons of awards for their work but they're going to post my quote by post after seeing it this lunchtime. I showed him also some "light" scratches which he seems to think that if you can feel them with your fingernails, they're too...

    Best colour Audi? Why is silver no good?

    Hi guys, I've got a silver A3 which is a bit scuffed with swirl marks, a mixture of light to medium scratches and a couple of dents that a couple of dopey drivers have put in, guess at a car park. Anyway, I called out a dent repair woman who said it really needed a bodyshop job as the dent was...

    Wiring auxillary cigarette adapter

    Yeah, that's the relays. I'm not comfortable with touching that. I managed to tap into the cigar lighter wire going to the fusebox, using the scotch-locks, and earthed to the chassis. The 3-way ciggy adapter is now under the dash and my TTG and phone charger plug into that without using the...
