Replying to: ownerswife (Jun 23, 2007 9:43 am) Are you looking to sell the car? I am looking for a 1980-83 Audi 5000 diesel or turbo diesel to restore. Where are you located? Any pictures?
#5999 of 6026 2003 A4 convertible by jeep53 Jul 07, 2007 (10:16 am)
I just purchased a 2003 A4 Audi convertible recently. It's a fun car to drive, especially when the turbo kicks in. I'm still learning a lot about the car. I was wondering if anyone knows whether the ESP switch should be on all the time or just in certain driving conditions.   Overall so far I really like the car. It has some turbo lag at the early speeds but that's normal. I had a VW Jetta that did the same thing. Any other information anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!   Steve(Jeepster53aol.com) Replies to this message: jescue (Jul 07, 2007 11:54 am)

Replying to: jeep53 (Jul 07, 2007 10:16 am) the ESP automatically defaults to on when you start the car. The switch is there to switch it off if you so choose. I personally never turn it off. With the CVT transmission you really need the ESP to minimize wheelspin on agressive takeoff-the traction control is switched on and off with it.

Replying to: teresap2 (Jan 16, 2007 9:27 pm) Hi! My daughter is looking for her first car. We found a 2001 Audi A4 with 61,000 miles for $11,900. What do you think of that?   Are Audi A4 Parts a lot more expensive than Toyota parts,etc if something happens with the car?   Thanks Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 10, 2007 2:40 pm) a4quattro (Jul 25, 2007 4:27 pm)

Replying to: helpmefindacar (Jul 08, 2007 2:37 pm) Are Audi A4 Parts a lot more expensive than Toyota parts,etc if something happens with the car?   I don't know enough about Toyota's parts prices to know how they compare to Audi's. I'll just say Audi parts aren't cheap and an Audi is likely to need repairs/replacements more often than a Toyota.   I went 120,000 on my '98 A4 Avant with no major breakdowns but I don't know if it's a good first car for a person of modest means.

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 10, 2007 2:40 pm) We have a 2004 Toyota Sienna and it has been a piece of .... well you can fill in the blank. New brake pads constantly, 3 sets of tires in 40,000 miles (I think the dealer is not rotating them, but saying they are and we are paying for it) and trying to gouge us to buy their way-over-priced tires. Seat back falls off repeatedly off driver's side seat, sheet metal must be made of tin...dings easily and full of dings now. My 2003 audi a4 looks absolutely like new, while our year newer Sienna looks like it is ready for the bone yard. No more toyotas here.
#6005 of 6026 2003 A4 Cab - Automatic Transmission Failure by gciaccia36 Aug 16, 2007 (6:10 pm)
I have an 2003 Audi A4 Cab w/36,000 miles that I cannot drive b/c the transmission died. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to work with Audi, but they are giving me no support b/c my warranty just expired. I hit the 4 year mark on 4/18/2007. I would love to know if I'm the only sucker out there that this happened to. Cheers!
#6006 of 6026 Intermittant noise from rear of car by 204meca Aug 27, 2007 (10:57 pm)
2004 A4 1.8, CVT, 41K. Car has been great so far. For the past few months we occasionally rarely actually) hear a medium pitched hum that seems to be coming from the back of the car. The sound does not change whether moving or still, at idle or acceleration & does seem to affect the performance of the car. If we turn the engine off & restart, it usually is not there.   I am thinking fuel pump, but all the posts I have read about fuel pump failures seem to imply that it just dies without warning. We have an appointment for the dealer, but the sound is so intermittant that I am concerned it would show up at the dealer. Any ideas? Replies to this message: rowlandj (Aug 28, 2007 4:20 am)
