Hi nvnc514: I would concur with eddie650 and Mr. Shiftright. I had the same flashing CEL on my 1.8T Passat, and it turned out to be a coil. Unfortunately, the dealer diagnostic ($100-125?) will likely cost more than the coil ($40-50?). Per Shiftright, it may not be a good idea to drive 30 miles. I would assume that any competent repair shop could diagnose the problem, and some will do it for free or a small charge and if it's a coil, which cylinder it is. Of course, it would be fair to let them do the repair. However, take heed about Shiftright's cat converter warning...you don't want to take a chance on a $700-800 replacement! audiphile1

Replying to: nvnc514 (Aug 09, 2009 5:57 am) Thank you to all that responded. I ended up taking my 03 Cabriolet about 2 miles away to a dealer I particularly did not trust, but thought it was better than drive 30 minutes to the dealer where I bought the car. The problem was an engine coil so I had it repaired. My car is not under any warranty now so trying to decide if its worth it to consider an extended warranty.

Replying to: KarenS (May 23, 2001 6:27 am) I have major problems with my 2008 A4. When I would step on the gas pedal, the car engine would rev, but the car would go nowhere. I have had it in Riverside Audi service at least 3 times. I was told it was the gas, then I was told it was the floor mat getting in the way of the pedal (how stupid). Last Monday, 8/10, my car was towed into Service. Needless to say, the car is still sitting there and now was told the part is on backorder and will be another week. I requested Audi of America to pay for the car I rented being they never fixed the car from the beginning, Well, they said their policy does not permit them to do something like that. My A4, was a death trap waiting to happen. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY/LEASE AUDI Replies to this message: samaudi (Aug 19, 2009 8:31 am)

Replying to: roxp (Aug 19, 2009 8:15 am) I don't think that a fair recommendation, I have a 2005.5 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro and have had no problems with it for the 4 years that I have had it. It has been nothing but reliable and drives just as well as it did the first day I got it.   If Riverside Audi isn't fixing the problem, bring it to another Audi dealer. Palisades Audi on Rt. 59 in Nyack has always taken care of me and will give you one of their loaner cars for $15 a day.
#2056 of 2137 Cup Holder Replacement by embeeduece Aug 20, 2009 (6:06 pm)
Hey, folks. 2005 Audi A4 Quattro. In-dash cup holder broke. I'd like to order the part online and swap it out myself. Any installation instructions, links, etc. would be greatly appreciated. I did a discussion search but didn't see this info posted previously.   Also, I had a speed sensitive growl once; turned out to be a bad motor mount. Engine was thusly making odd noises as it wasn't stable. Might not be the problem discussed a few posts up, but thought I'd mention it.   Thanks!

Replying to: embeeduece (Aug 20, 2009 6:06 pm) I have not had the chance to do a replacement on the cupholder but did find a thread on the process at:   http://www.audi-forums.com/b6-forum/46777-cupholder-removal-replacement.html   It does not give any real details or photos but does give a hint as to how it can be removed and a new one installed. Hope it helps. Cheers Replies to this message: embeeduece (Aug 21, 2009 11:53 am)

Replying to: a4ipoh (Sep 04, 2009 3:29 pm) Probably the switch under the handbrake loosened up and needs adjustment, or is broken.
