    Audi A4 1.8t 163 Sport - Smoke bomb!

    Hi both, Yes the smoke has a slight blue tint to it. It still boosts fine and drives fine when the engine has recently been started (I still let it warm up first obviously) but after like 30 mins it gets sluggish and I start hearing a rattling noise followed by smoke. Turbo doesn't seem to be...

    Audi A4 1.8t 163 Sport - Smoke bomb!

    Hi All, I have recently got an Audi A4 1.8t, it's high mileage at 160k with FSH. It has been driving fine no issues apart from an abnormally high handbrake which I presume just needs adjusting, well yesterday I was driving with the windows down and I noticed when driving between a row of...

    Audi A4 2.0 FSI - S.S exhaust

    Hey folks, It's been a while - I have just picked up an Audi A4 FSI 2.0 with a 3" back box but it sounds awful like a wet fart. I had a Lexus IS200 with just backbox on in the past and it sounded awsome. I was just wondering if it's just my backbox or is it the engine and that no exhaust will...

    Oil question for 2.0 n/a FSI owners

    Hi All, Forgive me if this has been covered I done a search but could only see reference to turbo engines, I like to keep an eye on my fluid levels on a weekly basis when I clean my car, I noticed over a period of a month or so my oil level was getting lower - I wasn't really fussed as I am...

    audi a4 b6 stereo system HELP!!

    I might be barking up the wrong tree completely here but it may have something to do with the Amp clipping the power for whatever reason. Someone who knows what they are talking about will be along soon :shrug: but in the meantime let us know what head unit you have and whether you have the Bose...

    Its all pay out!

    Wheels in Motion are brilliant, there is nothing worth knowing about geometry that Tony Bones (owner) doesn't know, cannot fault them at all. I used them numerous times when I had my Lexus - Being a Luxury car manufacturer and their millions of pounds they spend on research and technology WIM...

    Its all pay out!

    That is some serious money! Aircon should be 50 tops and for a full alignment I would expect to pay at most £110 and even that is extortionate. Did you go to Audi or something?

    Cost to replace gearbox mount?

    Sorted! Tutts of Dorking (Audi VW Specialist) fixed it for me, can't fault them at all - I phoned them up at 12 noon and they managed to fit me in this afternoon, £109 all inc. in comparison to £360 from another garage I had a quote from and £240 from Audi. Very happy :)

    Cost to replace gearbox mount?

    Heyy guys, Can anyone tell me what they would expect to pay to replace a gearbox mount on a 2.0 FSI 2002 A4? I've taken it to a garage who said it will be £360.00 as they said I need a piece of metal with it that it sits in as well as Audi doesn't sell the mount separate? I think this is BS to...

    Remote locking / tailgate lock problems 2003 Avant

    I cannot help with the fuse side of things but the motor which pops the boot is well known for packing up, no doubt someone will be along soon to give you full advise but what I did (and it worked) is whip the boot lining off to expose the mechanics and get handy with the WD40 as water got into...

    Is my Audi lowered?

    Hey guys, Sorry to ask a silly question, I've only had my car a few weeks - I cannot work out if my car is lowered or not, I had a look under the front the springs look black but the struts look red. The ride is shocking though especially over uneven roads I think it needs a proper 4 wheel...

    Creaking noise

    Thanks for the link Sandra, didn't have anything on my issue but bookmarked as it is very useful :) I was messing around with the car earlier and I am wondering if it could be my engine mounts, how much movement should I see from the engine with the bonnet up and revving the engine. I can also...
