    It scared the sh*t out of me...!

    I suppose all these warning beeps, bongs and arning lights are for the American market where they'd probably sue the manufacturer if they ran out of fuel without being warned at least three times the tank was getting low.....

    It scared the sh*t out of me...!

    There I was, driving along when 'Bong!' an animated thingy like a fountain appeared on the DIS. Coolant? Power steering fluid? Brake fluid? No... it was the sodding screen washer bottle that needed filling... come on Audi - give us a break, it was almost brown trouser time!

    Its in Audi

    I've had a head gasket fail on another car resulting in loss of power and clatter-clatter. I'm surprised no one did a compression test early on but perhaps with today's sophisticated cars the basics of auto engineering are overlooked. I should make sure the belt is replaced along with the...

    Suspension noise ??

    It sounds like the dreaded control arm 'squeak' which is a known problem and was the subject of an Audi re-call a few years back. It was cheaper to replace the complete arms rather than just the worn ball joints that were the cause of the noise. They were replaced on my 179,000 miler and...

    [ QUOTE ] OMG whats the point if its a diesel? [/ QUOTE ] What's the point on any car if it doesn't have the engine to match? Far more fun, I reckon, to put a muscle engine in a standard shell - especially a diesel

    Lowered Suspension

    [ QUOTE ] Consider Powerflex bushes all around too, it'll transform the car. [/ QUOTE ] Transform it how? The Powerflex kit for an A4 costs £151.50 + VAT. For £11 more I can get an Eibach anti roll bar kit. Which will give the greater benefit per pound?

    A4 Aircon Nightmare?

    I really would take yours to an A/C specialist for a second opinion and estimate. They're dealing with A/C all the time, your Audi chap may only come a problem once in a blue moon - best of luck!

    A4 Aircon Nightmare?

    Be wary, all successful con men sound convincing! The last letter denotes the finish (usually black) or whether it incorporates Sat Nav and/or radio. For a used unit try http://www.4ringspares.co.uk/

    A4 Aircon Nightmare?

    I would suggest that if you took the car in for a specific fault to be cured and parts were fitted that did not cure the fault, you should not have to pay for the parts as the diagnosis was incorrect. That is not a legal opinion of course. Why not contact your local Citizen's Advice Bureau for...
