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.

Replying to: newcombe (Jun 08, 2008 3:16 pm) 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.

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.

| 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. | |
| 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? | |

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! |
