I wonder if anyone else has experienced this problem, and if so, is there an explanation/solution???? I have a 2 month old 2005 1.8T FWD cab... love it... drives great; don't mind the tip-lag since the car is a beauty!! One little thing, the service interval indicator in the driver information display continually comes on as "Service!". First time was at <3K miles... had the dealer look at it and reset it.... next week "Service!". Then I read how to reset it myself (thought that maybe dealer had not done it right) and reset it... Same thing, in less than a week it was back. The other strange thing I noticed after resetting, and giving the car time to figure out driving style etc, the display read "Service in 100 miles or 365 days"... then an hour and a half later it was back to "Service!". Obviously there is some problem in the computer. I'm curious to know if this is just my car or if others have also experienced this. I also have a 2005.5 2.0T Q with the same insides... it's computer works perfectly!!

I've been a reader of this forum and others on-line and found the discussions very helpful while making the decision on which vehicle to purchase. After much research on-line, test drives and getting pricing from a half dozen dealers, I chose the A4 Cabriolet. Now that I've had some time to break in my new Cab, I figured I'd pass along some info for others. I ordered the A4 Cabriolet (1.8T) with the S-Line package back in January and took delivery in May. It's now August and I have to say that this particular vehicle is flawless. Fit and finish are perfect. The CVT transmission is exceptionally smooth and it also adjusts for the turbo lag (I've owned a 1.8T Jetta with the Tiptronic and the turbo lag was very noticeable). The Bose stereo system has great sound with the top down or up. Most of all, the S-Line package is what I feel makes the car distinctive. Overall, the dealer experience was great and I'm very satisfied with the car.

Replying to: a4cabriosocal (Aug 16, 2005 12:51 pm) care to share what you paid for your Cabriolet? I picked up a new '06 with premium package and Bose for $1,000 over invoice. This took quite a bit of research and haggling. I started out using the Costco pricing model of $1,500 over invoice, but when some dealers started saying it didn't cover the '06 models I balked and got more aggressive after locating two of the same cars on two different lots. I have no idea if this is a great price since I have yet to see anyone post what they paid for a Cabriolet here. The car really is flawless - pick up process and paper work went smooth at Audi of Oakland.

Replying to: aspesisteve (Aug 18, 2005 11:00 am) Bottom line, I got a great deal (not invoice but certainly not sticker price). After placing my order, my sales person kept me updated on the car's progress via e-mail. When the car finally arrived, similar to your experience, the process was quick and went well. There were no hard sell tactics for aftermarket options. BTW, I dealt with Circle Imports in Long Beach. Based on this purchase experience I would purchase from them again. |

Replying to: sm122097 (May 25, 2005 11:40 am) Do you have any pictures of the new Sat Nav Plus ? I'm just about to place an order and I think they are still offering the old one over here in the UK. Does yours have these MP3 slots behind the screen ? I can't seem to get any info on the new version and I want to make sure I don't end up with the old one. Although I do want the current model and not this new style "Nuvolari" grill - Ugly or what ! Anyone got any other points to look out for before I part with my cash. Regards, DDave.

Replying to: picnik (Jul 27, 2005 2:44 pm) The A4 1.8T has been fabulous. Everyone loves the aesthetics and riding in it is not too bad either. The standard sound system is JUST FINE! No need to upgrade unless you really want to rock the world as you drive. Sorry but the Toyota is just an UGLY car. My opinion but shared by just about anyone that pulls a Solara up alongside the A4 Cab. Best wishes. |
