Their transmission is not too reliable the internet says. Have people invented a reasonably cheap way to fix those transmissions or it is still 10-12k$? I am considering one to buy and it is awesome but the multitronic part is really bothering me.
Does anyone know a good and non-dealer one? Know 2 good for BMW but they do not work with Audi. Thanks!
I'm considering getting a B5 S4 as a daily driver when im back home. Doing fly in fly out work now it wont be getting massive use other than a run to the race track so i can pretend to be a photographer whenever I can, and a run down the freeway to the workshop to work on my Beetle. Is there...
Did a new gear knob + boot few days ago. OEM one threads broke (tightened it too much) and the top display keeps coming off (solvable with glue). Anyway I changed the boot/knob and am looking for some opinions Before After:
Hello to the Audi community. Im just wondering if any of you have heard of 2001-2004 S6 V8s having issues with the Bearings in the Auto gearboxes???
Hey guys I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I have. When I bought my A4 all those years ago, it had a crappy hose from the intercooler (behind the LHS headlight) to the throttle body. Well I want to replace it with the proper factory hose. The problem I have is that BMA Parts can't...
Heya Apologies in advance. I frequent the BMW pages, and get frustrated at the constant "I want to buy a BMW, what do i look for" posts. But, now i'm doing one. However, I have searched a bit already, so maybe you can go easy on me a bit, since i've tried a little :p Is there some kind of...
Have driven SAAB 900 old true blooded style (before GM took Saab to the 'Dark Side' and they lost their individalism). Old SAABs are great for me as a wheelchair user (hang gliding in 1977 - broke my neck) due to door sill going with door - easy transfer between w/chair to car seat. My first car...
on the hunt for a A6, possibly looking for diesel 3.0 or 4.2 petrol to add to the garage - not really been interested in Audi's before as they just seamed so expensive, but considering that a6/s6's look to go for 1/4 asking price at just 4 + yrs old, a well looked after, low KM Audi with service...

Guys, Need a few bits and pieces done to my Audi S3. I'm looking for a good mechanic / specialist that is pretty handy around the Brisbane area. Obviously a VW specialist might be just as useful? Heard one person saying Prestige and Performance in Coorparoo are good? Any recommendations? ...
I just picked up my adapted A3 from Sydney last week on on the drive back to Melbourne set the speed warning to 100km but it didn't trip till 110km. Then set to 90km and it tripped at 90km on the dial. On Hume in 110km zones everyone seemed to be going 120km Just after Albury is a speed test (I...
Hi, I am having a bit of problems with my car, it is vibrating and the engine seems almost semi blocked so the car keeps jumping or cutting in and out. It seems to be happening more when the car is cold and on the lower gears. I have changed the fuel filters, not too sure what the problem could...
A friend of mine is looking for wheels for a 01 4.2 A6, which seem very hard to track down because of a large offset of the HUGE calipers. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a wheel or range of wheels? thanks
If I bought a pre 2003 Audi A3, would I avoid the nightmare of CAN control of indicator and cruise ciontrol stalks on the wrong side of the column? I use hand controls and the stalks being on the left is a problem for me. I drive a '91 Saab TU3 but I worked out that you can swap the indicator and...
I need to fit a wheelchair carrier onto my 2005 three door A3, that I just bought. I think I should fit rails then a suitable rack as that gives it 75kg capacity, whereas the clamp on rack without rails is only rated to 50kg. How difficult is it to fit rails (headliner out etc) and any...
Our 2002 A6 3.0 Quattro recently had starting isues. It would either not turn over at all, or turn over very slowly and then start, and sometimes start and run just fine. It would also lose all dash an radio electronics while driving then come back again. I checked on the internet and found others...
Has anyone installed hand controls in an Audi A3? Say 2005-2007 year models. I'm used to how my hand controls are linked to conventional accelerators but with the sender and accelerator 'by wire' I wonder how it is possible to link into this or is it just a normal linkage straight to the pedal...
Calling on the experts here... Car: 97' 2.6 B5 Quattro Problem: Starts up no problems then engine stalls immediatly after 1 second. Happens warm or cold and intermitantly.
I have recently purchased a 1995 A4 1.8 sports edition and it has a badge cut into the woodgrain strip on the dash just above the glovebox with "A4 exclusive" written in gold script lettering on a woodgrain background. I have searched the net and viewed photos of many other dashboards and as yet...

Hey Guys, Does anyone have more information on these? Were they actually sold new in Australia and are there manual versions? - How do they stack up against the S4 B6 sedans? Cheers
Hey Guys. Im thinking of getting an Audi TT Roadster and was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback about these cars. I know the rear window and roof have problems at times but just want to know a little more about the maintenance up keep. Thanks in advance. Jamie
Long story short, sort of, a friend of a friend pulled out all of his audio gear and sat nav from an A6 (this was a US model 2003) as he did a full stereo upgrade. He ended up putting all the stuff in a storage unit and forgot about it and couldn't remember exactly which of his storage units it was...
