I've driven a few B7s and found their climate system to be identical to the B6. Although I have noticed they tend to be hotter despite leaving the temp setting the same as I would have used in our B6
Seems excessive to me.
Our 1.9 TDI 130 wore the fronts down to 4mm after 8k. That was mainly due to the power delivery of the diesel and a heavy front end.
Neighbour of mine did this on a PD A3 a few years back. Drained the tank, filled with diesel and after a few cranks it started. They ran it for around 3 years after that with no problems.
I guarantee it won't be a coil pack :rolleyes:
If it's only at idle then it could be an engine mount. Not sure about the A3 but A4s have one engine mount that is stiffened electronically above 1100 rpm. Below that it softens to dampen the vibes. It should show up in VAGCOM if you get your car...
Pretty sure it's been done. Try a search as it might be in the B6 section.
You'll need to find a set of split folding seats from a breakers though as there are too many differences to modify a non folding set to fold.
Not sure but I think the main factor is the rolling radius of the wheels so perhaps if you can keep that the same (or as near as you can) then it'll be OK
The A4 Quattro is Torsen based and is full-time unlike the A3 system which is Haldex and effectively only sends power to the rear if the...
Well after our car accident in January, the tumbleweed in the job market and flooding the house I thought things were looking up with a new job starting today and the other driver from our crash being charged with careless driving.
Well I was wrong. Yesterday, my wife came off the road on her...
Be very careful about fitting different tyres. If the tyres designed for the allroad have stiffer sidewalls, it's for a reason.
Also, your insurance may not pay out in the event of a claim if there's any way they could prove that the tyres were a factor. You may even find that your insurance...
That's probably the most you'll get from Audi. It's worth looking into consumer law. The law covers you for a period of time regardless of manufacturers warranty (6 years in England, 5 in Scotland IIRC) from purchase if you can reasonably prove that you'd expect the item to last longer than it...
I had exactly the same lacquer problem on my 2004 A4 on the sill just behind the front wheel. Aberdeen Audi sent pictures off to Audi who did repair the problem so I'm surprised they won't do yours. Might be worth trying another dealer.
The door issue certainly looks like rust coming through...
That's sort of true. The rule on A4, A6 and A8 is that Multitronics are only on FWD cars and Tiptronics are only on Quattros.
AFAIK, the 3.0 was only available as a Quattro in the saloon so will be a Tiptronic but I believe the 3.0 was available with Multitronic and FWD in the cab. Same goes...
In that case, maybe they could be swapped over as that may fix the issue with no parts required!
Seems strange that Audi would do that though as the active mounts will be more expensive than a rigid one and you know how car makers like to save money where they can.
Not very fair of you to compare a 3.0 BMW to a 2.5 Audi in the power stakes. Of course the BMW will win.
AFAIK there are no major issues with the Audi Tiptronic 'box as long as it's maintained. Multitronics are a different story and I'd steer clear too. At the end of the day though consider...
