#313 of 337 My Audi A4 (a girl's perspective) by lagirl2 Jul 12, 2009 (10:05 pm)
I just bought a brand new Audi A4 about a month and a half ago. Aside from a fuel pump problem requiring 3 trips to the dealership to fix, it's cute and it's good. I know nothing about cars, but it's the amenities and the style that are important to me. But I have to say that I love the way this car handles. If I can avoid speeding tickets, I'll be golden.   I love love love the amenities. The sound system is awesome. The navigation is scarily accurate. The backup camera is a total lifesaver. I suck at parking, so this is easily one of the coolest and best features on the car. The beeps have saved me from denting my car already. I am now addicted to my Sirius radio and love the ability to plug my iphone in and play my music. The bluetooth feature also works perfectly.   I'm hoping that all will continue to run well (minus a little hiccup with the fuel pump) but so far, it's the style and the amenities I love the most.

Replying to: lagirl2 (Jul 12, 2009 10:05 pm) On the subject of parking, have you noticed the feature that rotates the right mirror down to see the curb when in reverse? The mirror selection knob has to be turned to the right for it to work. Replies to this message: lagirl2 (Jul 13, 2009 5:14 pm)

Replying to: fglamser (Jul 13, 2009 5:28 am) Really? OMG. I'm going to go try that out. Thanks a lot!   I love discovering all the new stuff on the car. I should've read the manual, but it's so thick that I can't really get past the few things that interest me.

Replying to: fglamser (Jun 19, 2009 9:13 am) Agreed. My car is very quiet, too. (I do live in a big city, though.) My sunroof isn't loud, although my music is usually very loud when I'm bumping down the highway with the sunroof open. So I may not notice it if it is...   Nothing about new cars really surprises me anymore, though. If that poster had a problem with something it may be par for the course in a new car.
#318 of 337 2009 A4 2.0T Motor oil by ponjaps Jul 20, 2009 (6:50 am)
Did anyone have an issue with the oil? Brought my car at the dealer from october of last year to present maybe about 5 times (including the first service) just for the oil. I've never heard such a thing n they kept on telling me that all german cars burn a lot of oil, well any BMW owners, do u have the same issues with the oil too? and plus they expect me to buy and top the oil every month to a BRAND NEW CAR!!!! Isn't that rediculous!!!! Replies to this message: fglamser (Jul 20, 2009 8:36 am) tunderbord (Jul 20, 2009 12:53 pm)

Replying to: ponjaps (Jul 20, 2009 6:50 am) My 2009 A4 2.0T does not burn any appreciable oil. I've never heard that German cars burned oil. On the contrary, they are known for precise clearances and engineering.   What manufacturers find acceptable in oil consumption is often very liberal. I've heard standards of one quart per 1000 miles, which is nuts. You will want to find the official Audi standard in writing.

Replying to: ponjaps (Jul 20, 2009 6:50 am) Nope, never had problems with excessive oil consumption -- not with my previous A4 (2007), nor current (2009).   Weird thing about oil though, when i brought mine in for the 5k mile service, dealer set computer to require next oil change in 5k miles (at 10k) although the next maintenance is scheduled at 15k. Per Audi manual oil should be changed at maintenance time -- 5k, 15k, 25k etc., and not any more often than that. That is the schedule i had with my previous A4, it was different dealer back then.   I guess it;s just dealer playing tricks to earn some bucks. Hopefully they at least put in the right grade of oil...
#321 of 337 One quart added after 9,000+ miles by markcincinnati Aug 21, 2009 (8:55 am)
Dealer gives an extra quart with the oil change and says I can add it whenever I want when the graphic on the dash is below half of the OK range. In 18k miles, then, I have added a grand total of one quart.   None in the first 5K miles One in the next 10K miles None since then Replies to this message: fglamser (Aug 21, 2009 9:47 am)
#322 of 337 Re: One quart added after 9,000+ miles [markcincinnati] by fglamser Aug 21, 2009 (9:47 am)
Replying to: markcincinnati (Aug 21, 2009 8:55 am) I was curious as to the amount of oil represented by the dash display. The oil was reading at the mid point, and I added exactly 8 ounces. From where the display went and assuming a linear read out, I'd guess the display range is from 24 to 32 ounces. I would not ever add a full quart even if the display was on the bottom. I would do it in stages.
