Replying to: jeqq (Feb 28, 2008 6:22 pm) The truth of the matter,studies say, that we have enough US owned reserves for 400 years at present rates of consumption if we only have to supply 25% of our own oil. That ought to be enough time to figure out an alternative. We may all enjoy V8 power -- supply is not exactly the problem. In the meantime, I'll pass on the V8, for I am convinced much higer gas prices are coming. Now, back to Audis, already in progress.

Not a huge difference in driving a 3.2 vs 4.2 A6 |

Replying to: markcincinnati (Feb 28, 2008 6:46 pm) Have you found much difference in gas mileage over time by manipulating tire pressures in your 3.2 Audi?

Replying to: markcincinnati (Feb 28, 2008 6:46 pm) And that's because of their high tax on gasoline. |

Replying to: fonefixer (Feb 29, 2008 8:04 am) Rear pressure = 36 I have never compared or contrasted, knowingly, the impact of manipulating the pressures. I was "advised" to improve the handling of the car by the above pressures. With respect to the V8, the Audi V8 is one of the best engines you can have, period. The 3.2 V6 is also a very good engine -- but the V8 would be my choice were it not for the combination of the acquisition cost and the mileage. Now, speaking ONLY for my own habits -- with the V8's (and I have had three Audi 4.2's and loved them) I found myself frequently "getting into the throttle" and consuming more fuel than would be normal if I didn't "punch it" -- but that is MY problem. I actually enjoyed going from three V8's in a row to an Audi V6 2.7T connected to a 6 speed manual. I suspect my upcoming fave engine will be the rumored 3.0T (333HP V6). I love the instant torque of the Audi turbos. |

I get into my car (1998 A6 Quattro) last Wednesday morning and without a problem arrived at school. After a long day, I rushed to my car and-Nothing. It didnt even attempt to turn over...the stater just clicked. I got the car towed and delivered to a shop. Being that it was 8 PM they were closed. Arriving in the morning the shop said it fired right up. They did a battery diagnostic check and it was fine. I picked it up and went along with my week like it was nothing. Today, exactly one week later i got into my car to go to school...no problem. I got in to leave and same exact problem! ANYONE EVER HEAR OF THIS?!?!?!? THANKS! Davidreese90hotmail.com if anyone has any direct answers.

Replying to: davreese0506 (Apr 30, 2008 3:38 pm) You need to have a complete diagnostic at an AUDI dealer who has the proper equiptment to check over everything. You could have an electrical problem or short that's causing a drain on the battery. |
