#6018 of 6026 Re: Audi lease termination - what a fiasco [turbofun] by niner1 Jan 23, 2008 (8:01 pm)
Replying to: turbofun (Jan 15, 2008 11:37 pm) Experiencing similar customer retention issues with my low mileage 03 A4 3.0Q. I got tired of turning in cars on Audi's terms and getting hit up for normal wear and tear so I decided to buy this one. For the past two years I have been plagued with inexplicable dead batteries, or failures to start because the key sensor wouldn't recognize my key. I never got an argument from the service department in regard to replacing defective lock cylinders under warranty (or covering repeats of the same repairs after warranty), but the service department refused to look deeper and ask the question as to why the recurring problem, nor did they care that I was repeatedly inconvenienced. The details of my story are a case study for Audi customer care, and I won't bore you with the play by play, but I too found they could care less about my customer experience. I raised my issue with Audi North America Customer Advocates... they suggested that I should talk to the sales manager to see if I could negotiate a deal on a new car. I drove my Audi loaner to the Infiniti dealer tonight.. I'm negotiating a deal on a new car, but its a G35X. I wanted to make it work with Audi, but it became evident that loyalty is a one way street with them.
#6019 of 6026 P reg Audi a4 2.6 v6 by newcombe Jun 08, 2008 (3:16 pm)
Hello, Please bear with me as am not really any good at these forums. They really are new to me, No excuse. Please could someone tell me if their are any modifications available at all for my Audi? I know the engine is getting on a bit now? but i really love the car.I have read in other places that its not worth attepting any air flow mods, And i know this first hand, as racing filters actually decrease power.Can the engine be mapped? is it to old. is there any good exhaust systems available??Is their any turbos i might be able to add(+coolant system!) My naive brain would have thought i might have been able to squeeze close to 200bhp out of her instead of the current 150,although am under no illusions a few horses will have escaped over the years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jun 13, 2008 9:14 am) newcombe (Jun 18, 2008 12:26 am)

Replying to: newcombe (Jun 08, 2008 3:16 pm) You haven't recieved any replies because most of us are Yanks and AFAIK Audi has never offerred a 2.6 for North America. IIRC there was a 170hp 2.7 in the Audi 90 (an underrated car) and the 193hp 2.8 that was in my A4/B5s.   Very little in the way of performance mods was offered for the 2.8. Be aware that any mods, with the possible exception of a free-flowing exhaust system will adversely affect your gas mileage as I understand UK petrol prices are horrendous.   You might try www.audiworld.com, best of luck.

#6022 of 6026 getting a professional opinion before buying a 2001 audi by rb6p Jul 11, 2008 (7:44 pm)
sorry to have to post such a neophyte question, but I don't know where else to look.   After lots of searching, I found an excellent deal on a 2001 a4 for relatively low mileage. I'm pretty clueless about cars, and aside from obvious issues during a test drive I'll most likely overlook significant red flags.   How does one go about arranging an evaluation by an audi service center? And how much will it cost me?   Thanks in advance for any clarification. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 12, 2008 3:29 am)

Replying to: rb6p (Jul 11, 2008 7:44 pm) It should be as simple as calling the Service Dept. and making an appointment. It's about an hour's work, the going rate in most places is about $85-$100/hr.   An independent Audi/VW tech might do it for less, good luck..
#6024 of 6026 Synthetic by sarnman Nov 25, 2008 (1:04 pm)
Does anyone know when Audi started using synthetic oil in their engines from the start? I just bought a 2004 A4 1.8t (34k miles) and am hoping to avoid the dreaded sludge problem. The salesmen told me it has always had synthetic but I'm not sure. Thanks.
#6025 of 6026 heated seats by richb1 Dec 11, 2008 (2:54 pm)
Anyone else having this issue? It appears that the driver's seat has developed a "hot spot" for lack of a better description. It's located under the right thigh area and gets uncomfortably hot, even at setting 3. I can imagine what Audi would charge for repair, and I suppose I can do without it, although I certainly will miss the warmth ! Any suggestions?
#6026 of 6026 New 1997 Audi Cabriolet Owner by kneisl1 Sep 27, 2009 (8:02 pm)
I have just purchased a used Audi Cabriolet 1997 model. I paid $5500 and the car has 99k miles on it. The origional owner garaged it and had service receipts showing a pretty impressive service history including brakes all around and timing belt/water pump done when the car had 88k on it. The family all came out to say goodbye to it with tears in their eyes as we drove away!    We plan to drive this car maybe 2-3k miles a year. Its a luxury for us. Hoping to share my experiences with others here! Im on audiworld also and if you know of any other sites for the Audi Cabriolet please do tell!
