I put Bilstein B6's in my 1998 A4 TDi Quattro @ 115k miles and left the original springs on as they were in fairly good nick. Totally transformed the car from a wobbly grounding out jelly to a 120mph sweeper eater. Ok it was well overdue for new shocks at 115k but goes to show how good the...

PS If you can't shift it, putting a diesel chip in it may put a smile back on your face. I have Chip Express unit in mine (about £400, 5 mins to fit), that plus the quattro puts the car beyond my abilities as a driver (around corners anyway). Flat out acceleration as good as any new 180-200 bhp...

I picked up my 1998 Tiptronic one of these with 87k on the clock and FASH 18 months ago for £1775 with leather and aircon (private sale out of the Ad Trader). Does about 30-35 mpg so it's a big gas guzzler by today's diesel standards. Nice if you can afford the insurance and fuel but not what...

Vehicle - 1998 A4 2.5 TDi Quattro Tipronic still going like a (diesel) train.

ABS light coming on intermittently, then more persistently, then complimented by both ABS and brake warning light on all the time. Checked out this site and a few others. ECU error codes give conflicting codes like 'no power to ABS' when you can put a meter on the plug and get 12V of several...

Thanks. My top speed is covered by a 12 page 'Supplement to the Owner's Manuals entitled' entitled 'Technical modifications'. It appears to have been written entirely for the 110 kW 2.5 Tdi and covers fwd + 4wd, saloon + avant and manual + auto. Unfortunately all the auto values are 'not...

My 1998 A4 2.5 TDi Quattro Tip has a top speed of less than 130 mph and therefore according to a proprietary speed index chart - I could fit H rated tyres or even U at a push ! However, all web sites (and presumably Audi themselves) give a W rated tyre for this vehicle. That's 168mph and more...

That's OK if you drive on snooker tables but what if you have to drive on normal UK roads ie. potholes, humback bridges and craters ? What if you want a car that actually works on UK roads ?

Where can I get uprated front suspension springs that don't decrease the ground clearance ?

S registration is 1998 in the UK. It's a B5 saloon. Yes, pull the plug and a re-start usually helps determine something. Where is the the ABS fuse on a B5 ?

Apologies ! Posted in wrong forum. Can the Central Scrutinisers move me to A4 B5 ?

1998 A4 2.5 TDI Auto. Brake light started intermittent. Then ABS joined in. Now both continuous. Working through the advice on the various posts I notice virtually no mention of the two relays on the ABS unit ? Is there a test to rule these out before sending the ABS unit for testing ?

It's now 6 months since anyone posted anything here so here goes nothing. I have an S reg A4 2.5 TDI quattro automatic. A few months back the centre brake warning light (and three cheeps) came on under heavy braking and then went out. Over the weeks similar intermittent occurences become more...

Randomish input. I put a Chip Express device into my '98 2.5 TDi A4 Quattro Auto. Fitted it myself, just a break out box between the diesel pump and the ECU ? (bumph calls it erogation), no remapping at all. Made significant improvement to roll ons, acceleration etc. etc. just by feel on the...

Some help for beginners with ABS problems ? Where might one expect to find the ABS sensors and what should one be looking for in terms of obvious problems ?

Hhhhmmm... just spent another few hours reading threads on ABS. Seems theres far more to it than than you initially suspect (suprise, suprise). So ... basic inspection of all electrical connectors and mechanical parts is the start point !

131 views and 1 vague reply, not much help so far then ! I have a similar random lighting up of brakes (exclamation mark) in central top LCD warning light box complemented by an actual ABS warning light in the speedo coming on. The only evidence I have that there is actually a problem (rather...

Local Audi independant informs me that the springs have the correct Audi colour coded bands for the model so I can only assume they are original ones. This is backed up by the full Audi service history which has receipts for replacment broken rear springs. Apart from them I can only assume the...

Since picking up a nice S plate with 95k (now 103k) I have managed to ground out and have to replace both the auto gearbox sump and the crankcase sump. Both these items looked pre damaged and neither occurred during Dukes of Hazard driving, just landing after a humback bridge jump and later...
