#187 of 229 Re: check engine light stays on in '06 A4 1.8 Cab [jagwag] by macmurdo Nov 07, 2005 (12:46 pm)
Replying to: jagwag (Nov 06, 2005 12:52 pm) Are you referring to the Service!! indicator in the driver information display?? That can be reset by holding in the check button (wrench) while starting the car, and hitting the reset (0,0) once the display comes up.   However, I have had this problem also, with the Service!! indicator, and resetting only puts it off for 200 miles. I am told by one of the master mechanics at my dealership that they can "reprogram" the intervals that the computer uses during the reset, and assured me that could be done easily during my next service... soon. I'll let you know if it actually works.

Replying to: jagwag (Nov 06, 2005 12:52 pm) Hi, Jagwag! I'm hopeful that you've been helped by burosky's and macmurdo's, suggestions. You can also ask the folks in the Check Engine Light discussion if they've heard anything about this problem. Replies to this message: jagwag (Jan 22, 2006 11:28 am) claires (Jan 24, 2006 12:28 am)
#189 of 229 Re: gas mileage - 2004 Cab / 1.8T with CVT [vincentl] by ilight4u Nov 08, 2005 (10:21 pm)
Replying to: vincentl (Sep 20, 2005 12:49 pm) I've always used premium, and now after 6000 miles of checking the mileage it's STILL BAD. I drive very cool as well, but it still averages 22-24 mpg. I've tried it with the top up, and no A/C, but it still won't get over 25 on the highway, at 70-75 moph and on cruse.
#190 of 229 A4 2004 Cab. MPG by vincentl Nov 09, 2005 (8:50 am)
The server does not let me reply to ilight4u's msg, so I start a new thread:   I've just filled my gas tank: 16.2 g. for 384 miles => 23.7 mpg.   I have the 3.0 V6 2004 Cab. 14,500 miles   I believe I drove not more than 70 highway miles on this tank. Most of the miles: city: drop the son to school, go to the office, come back home, go to the grocery store ... so I drive the car for 5 to 10 minutes, most of the time less than 5 miles. I agree that there is not much traffic jam in Austin TX, but this is not conditions where the engine will be the most efficient (cold start, traffic lights and stops, ...).   I know it does not help, and that might make you mad. It sounds like I'm very lucky, I just want to share here. Another factor: the weather is very mild for the season in Austin (70* to 90* F), not cold at all, and cooler weather will "reduce" the mpg for such short trips.   Vincent
#191 of 229 1995 audi Cabrio noise by cabrioman Nov 24, 2005 (4:05 am)
Hello to all. My 1995 Audi Cabrio makes a 3 to 4 second hum comming from the rear passenger side. This happens when the car is in motion or parked and does not happen all the time. By the time I get to the back and put my earto the quarter panel the hum stops. Anyone experiencing this? Thanks
#192 of 229 Using the Car Alarm by eddie650 Dec 11, 2005 (9:28 am)
I have a 2005 Audi Cabriolet and my top was recently slashed as part of a vehicle burglary/break-in while it was parked in my parking space in a condo garage. Though the alarm had been set the night before, I don't believe the alarm ever went off and I don't know whether it should have been tripped. This got me to wondering whether other convertible owners frequently leave their vehicle unlocked so that they can avoid a similar experience with their top. Where I live, it appears that the main problem is kids wanting to rummage thru the car and take things rather than trying to steal the car. What do you think? (I must admit I had some grocery bags with old clothes in the front seat area; maybe that was the draw to my car .)
