Thanks much. What about the gas? Should I put premium in? With the synthetic oil, how often does it need to be changed?
 
Thanks again...

Whatever it says on the gas cap is the grade you should use. Synthetic oil should be changed according to an oil analysis, but I'd say if you wanted to play it super SUPER safe, without getting the oil analyzed, 5,000 to 7500 mile intervals.

2009 Audi A4 2.0T Almost Stalled, Please Assist by audi4me1

Hi, I have a 1 month old 2009 Audi A4 2.0T Premium Plus Frontrack with 1300 miles on it. Today while driving back from work, the car stopped at a 'Stop' sign and in 'D' mode, wouldn't move anymore. I had other cars right behind me so without panicking I shifted down to 'S' mode but it remained the same. I then shifted down to 'M' mode but it still won't move at all. Then I shifted back to 'D' and gave it a lot of gas, all of a sudden the car started moving but extremely slowly enough for me to pull into a small street. I pulled over, stopped the car and re-started it. No problems in starting back however when I put the car in 'D' the same issue, it would barely move. Then after a couple of more tries the car came back to life. I kept my fingers crossed and drove a couple of miles home. I am heading out of country on Friday and I want to have the dealer look at it after I get back. Does anyone have any suggestions or have experienced anything similar? Much appreciated.

The dealer will need to perform a diagnostic test to see what happened.
I have a 2005+ A4 with the 1.8 engine and started having slippage between the D and S modes while driving. The dealer needed to replace a computer module related to the transmission - what they called the brains of the transmission. It was done under warranty and I was told this item is under a CA emissions warranty for up to 7 years from when I bought it.

2003 A4 CVT by gator1111

I need help. My transmission needs replacement. I have am the original owner and have maintained the car, more so than anyone else I know. The car was wonderful for 5 1/2 years and the last six months have been hell. Since then, all four coils and plugs have been replaced, the coils, one by one going bad. I've had the rack and pinion replaced, the motor mount replaced and now the transmission. I now have read everything about the CVT problems with the early 2000 models and am scared to death. It is culpable to know that Audi has known of these problems for years and done nothing. I was also told at the dealer that they have been fighting the coil problems for four years. I do not know what kind of recourse I have nor do I understand what the dealer might be doing to try to "help" me. My contact is calling me back tomorrow after his district manager gets back to him on an email he sent him explaining my situation and seeing if they can help. What does that mean exactly? I called cust. svc this morning and they too indicated that there may be some kind of "help" but that I would have to take the car into the dealer as a first step. I have one more car payment on the car and absolutely love the car and everything up until the last six months. I appreciate your advice in advance.

A4 Fuel Pump Replacement/ check engine Light by bbjames74

Help! My son had to have the fuel pump replaced in his Audi A4. When he picked it up, as he drove down the street he realized something was wrong and returned to the mechanic. He left the intake exhaust off disconnected. The mechanic reconnected the hose. The next day when gas was added to the car, the check engine light came on. This car has gone back to the shop 5 times and the mechanic cannot figure out why the check engine light is coming on. The code is something about the Turbo.
 
Can you help? Did the mechanic do something when he left the intake exhaust off?

Not sure what you're talking about here. The terms you are using don't really identify the part very well. Do you have the # of the code that was read? That would help us a lot.
