And how much did u spend to get it fixed..
josh.evans24@yahoo.com
i hope u can help me out
My A4 recently started acting up when pulling into traffic. At around 2K RPM's the car stutters and is sluggish, but once moving seems OK. To pull into traffic, I need to get RPM's much higher in order to ensure performance. Ironically at the same time the hesitation began occuring, the Air Conditioning would fade out when sitting in traffic and would only condition the air once moving. There is a slight "Catch" I can fill before the air begins to run cool. (not sure if there is a belt that operates the AC or not and unsure if the issues are related)
Thanks

My 06 A4 2.0T starts to jerk/shudders when I change the gear. It feels like step on brake and the car was kicking back. The problem is most noticeable when moving from 4th gear to the 3rd gear and minor when moving from 4th to 5th, it can also be felt when move the gear from parking to reverse position even when the car is stopped.
I suspect it is a transmission problem, any comments or thoughts? (no warning light is on so far). How much does it cost to fix the problem? Also, my car is close to 54k miles, and I plan to take the car to Audi service center to do the maintenance, so will 54k maintenance solve the problem automatically?
another says you don't need synthetic, one says you can use 5-30 or 5-40. What do most people use and if you use synthetic how long between changes? Also I live in Las vegas where it's pretty hot
We will fix the leak and check over the injector and go from there on the other error. Thanks.
I just purchased a 2011 A4 - awesome car. Although, as soon as I left the dealer I noticed that the steering wheel is off-set a little to the left (sometimes almost an inch). The car does maintain straight on the road, and the alignment and drive of the car is 100%. This is not due to the crest in the road - the wheel is still cocked on a perfectly level, straight paved road. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem with their Audi and what to do. I don't want to (or have the dealer) mess with the alignment if not neccessary.

I found this experience to be a perfect example of how it can be frustrating to own a luxury car instead of a Honda Accord as I had before.

So I'm in the process of choosing a new car and I have narrowed it down to three wagons. The A4 Avant, the BMW 3 series wagon, and the Cadillac CTS wagon. I'm having a very hard time deciding. I was totally set on the A4 but a neighbor warned me to stay absolutely away due to the ongoing issues of his. Everything from the ipod connectivity to the engine sucking a quart of oil every 2k miles kept his 09 A4 in the shop more than on the road. So I thought to ask everyone here in this forum if they know of any below average reliability or maintenance issues with the newer A4's... Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated!
I've had my Audi for 3 years now and bring it into the dealership for regular service. I've been driving it much more lately (used to walk to work) so can see the distance between service visits become much shorter in the coming years. Is there a repair manual (Chilton Guide?) for 2005 Audi A4 that's inexpensive? I've seen them range from 100 to 2000 dollars USD. Could i get use a forum like this to, say, change the oil or change air filters, etc?
Thanks!

Sure, you can use our Forums to ask questions and also don't forget we have a very nifty ANSWERS DEPARTMENT for additional advice.
I really like this car, but have had my fair share of troubles with it.
Is this truly a valve issue? or do I need to check somewhere else first? Thanks for sharing.
:confuse:
That is correct---there are no adjustments to the valves, so it's possible you have defective lifter or lifters, or a worn camshaft. Please check your oil level and if you're due for a change, get an Audi filter and see what happens.
Thanks PEH
Anyone have the answer?

Yesterday my coolant light came on. I checked the level and it was right at the low line. My dealership was closing before I got off work, so I just drove home, planning to pick up some G12 today. I woke up, and checked the level of the coolant reservoir, and to my surprise, there wasn't anything registering at all.
I found no sign of a leak, of any sort, nor could I smell any hint of coolant that may have "burned". I just bought the car, used, two weeks ago from a dealer. It's a '04 A4 1.8 Quattro. Any ideas?
In my research, it seems they are close. Saab's get high reviews, while Audi's are mixed.
The styles are similar as well. Prior to purchasing, I am now at the phase where I need to research maintance and issues. Oil changes, true gas mileage, problems etc. Can anyone who may have owned either of the above shed some light on these questions?
Thanks
