#1769 of 2132 Re: Gas Grade help? [carmaster1] by shipo Apr 01, 2008 (5:58 am)
Replying to: carmaster1 (Apr 01, 2008 5:51 am) First the good news, yes, you can use Regular without damaging your engine. Then the better news, if you use Premium gasoline, you'll get better fuel mileage (more than enough to offset the extra cost of Premium) and have more power on tap at any given moment.   So, the question is, while you can use Regular, why would you want to? It's kind of one of those "fool's economy" things, while any given tank will cost less with Regular, your fuel costs per mile will actually be higher.   Best Regards, Shipo
#1770 of 2132 Re: failed steering rack? [mercops] by kimberlein Apr 03, 2008 (7:10 am)
Replying to: mercops (Mar 26, 2008 3:28 pm) I have the same steering rack problem on my 2002 A4 Quattro with 63,000. Every couple of months for the about the last 6 months, power steering fluid has been low enough to cause a bad sound while steering. Yesterday, my regular mechanic said the only thing he could find was dampness on the right side of the steering column and he thought it was probably a problem with the steering rack. He recommended I take it to the dealer. I'm guessing they'll tell me the seal at the end of the steering rack is bad. Ugh.

#1772 of 2132 Re: Does 2007(2005+) Audi A4 last long? [jamiewu0203] by mreidya4 Apr 05, 2008 (12:07 pm)
Replying to: jamiewu0203 (Aug 13, 2007 6:23 am) Well I must say an A4 can last very long i have a manual 96 A4 with over 222,000 miles and still going strong. yes she has her minor maintenance issues like a starter at 98,000 miles and control arms and ball joints at 110,000 miles. And i changed the timing belt at 150,000 mile. But other than that she is perfect so i looks like the new cars just aren't built as well as the older cars..
#1773 of 2132 Advice on 2003 A4 repair -- mass airflow sensor and valve cover gasket by rose18 Apr 07, 2008 (3:25 pm)
can anyone advise on how much it should cost to repair the mass airflow sensor and a leak on the valve cover gasket? I have a 2003 Audi A4 (1.8)   I am getting quoted a price of $310 for the mass airflow sensor and $320 for the valve cover gasket. Is this too much?   Would appreciate any help!

Replying to: bjohnstone (Apr 11, 2008 6:19 pm) If I recall rightly, it's in the hazard warning switch itself, which you have to remove from the dash. You might check on this with the dealer's parts department but I think that's right. As for getting it out, I don't have the repair manual on that job. Some interenet sites say just carefully pry it out with a thin blade; others say you have to remove the dashboard trim.   Visiting Host Replies to this message: suttlest (May 06, 2008 11:23 am) Mr_Shiftright (May 06, 2008 11:51 am) suttlest (May 06, 2008 11:55 am)

Replying to: rose18 (Apr 07, 2008 3:25 pm) MAF is $210 parts + 1.8 hr labor   Valve cover gasket is $36 parts + 1.4 hr labor.   Where I live (labor rates of $105 per hour) the MAF quote sounds like a good deal but the valve cover quote sounds way too high.   I'm only going by what you've told me and reading from a book, so use this info accordingly.   Visiting Host
