You are in the Audi A4 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
When I am driving my husbands 99 A4, there is a strong exhaust smell whenever I have the defrost or heat on, it is horrid. It is so strong and it really bad when the car is not moving. Like when we are stopped it is so bad I can't have the heat on. Could someone give me an idea of what I should do. It also shifts late, or really hard sometimes and lacks power, unless i stomp on the gas. ?????? Thank you.

Replying to: moerucus (Mar 16, 2009 7:56 am) Exhaust leaks are dangerous and should be investigated right away. sometimes people mistake an oil leak dripping on a hot exhaust pipe for an exhaust smell---they are similar,--so I'd also check for an oil drip somewhere. Don't mess around with this kind of problem...

My current issue is that the car doesn't start. I went to the gas station last Mon. before class and filled the tank and right when I was trying to leave the car wouldn't start. I recently replaced the battery. All the car would do is make a buzzing noise inside the cabin when I turned the key. Can anyone shed any light on this issue.

| I was wondering, does my audi a4 quattro 1995 have a starter motor seperate to the alternator, or does the alternator work as a starter motor aswell...if it is a starter motor aswell as an alternator, how do I test if its working properly with a multimeter? Because recently my car isnt cranking and I have a new battery. | |

| Is $20,300 for an '06 A4 3.2L S Line with 56K miles (mostly highway) a deal, or is it too good to be true? The car is extremely clean and in almost brand new condition, but that seems like a lot of miles. Thoughts and feedback are appreciated. | |

Car Specs: 1999 AUDI A4 QUATTRO ~135,000 Miles Lately the car has been giving a few problems. A couple days ago white smoke came out of the exhaust for a while (5-10 minutes). The car itself drains a lot of oil and leaks a little, I brought it to a mechanic and he said it might be the head gasket or just simple the car may be burning oil. Yesterday I left a light on in the car by accident and the battery died. I charged it today and the car gave a engine check light. When I tried driving it, the car would go up a few rpm and would suddenly drop no matter how hard I held down the pedal, meaning it wouldn't get above 5-10mph. It would just rise and let go, rise and let go... What could be the problem? Maybe an electrical malfunction, maybe the battery needs replacing? Or maybe something wrong with a cylinder? Please help me as soon as possible, thank you. |

I have a 2005 A4 convertible still under warranty and have an occasional front driver window problem. When I try and shut the window, it occasionally does its own thing - going up, then reversing and going down. Eventually, I am able to get it to do what I want. I know if I mention it to the dealer, it will not act up on that day while it's at the dealership. Should I be able to get this system replaced while it's under warranty - if it doesn't act up at the dealer? My warranty coverage will soon be up. Thanks for your advice. Ed |
