Question: 1996 Audi
A4 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 102,000 miles. My Audi has a problem, if
the car sits for 1 or more days the battery goes dead. I something in the
alternator changed but this did not correct the problem. question should the
electric windows work with the car off and the doors open. thanks
Answer: I would look first
at the relay for the fan. I may have welded itself together. I would pull the
relay out and see if you have another relay that is identical to that one and
swap it in and see if the fan starts working correctly. If it does then you just
need to buy a new relay and install it.
Question: 2003 Audi A4 4 cyl
Front Wheel Drive Manual 56,000 miles. Hello I am from Romania and the roads are
pretty bad here. Anyway now it's winter and it's really cold and i have noticed
a annoying noise coming from the back of my car. I went to a local Audi service
and they tuned up my rear seats but the noise is still there. I have to mention
that if I have luggage in the trunk the noise stops and also if I have
passengers in the back. I don't now what it is but it really irritates me. I
would like to know what can be the causes. Please Help!!!
Answer: If this
noise is reduced or eliminated with weight over the rear axle, it will be
related to the rear suspension, possibly a faulty shock /
strut or a faulty suspension bush, have these check first.
Question: 2003 Audi A4 6 cyl
All Wheel Drive 69,000 miles. I lost my key to my car so I got a copy of a key
from an authorized dealer. Proceeded to tow the car to the dealer. called to
pick it up later and was then told by this service dept. that I now needed a new
control modal for the engine as well as a new instrument cluster. A week later,
they then said I needed a new Transmission modal & as well as another modal. A
few days later, they now say, they found a nickel (not a dime, nor a quarter)
within the cars tip tonic magnets or gears, and that It would cost Three hundred
to I guess, remove it. -I 'm sorry, but now I'm laughing..... I only went there
to program a good key, that they got for me, after providing my I'D and vehicle
title. Please tell me what if any thing, could have gone wrong here. Thanks so
much for your time and help!Answer:
Sounds like you are being taken for a ride. Have them do
the key work and nothing else. then take it to another place and see what their
opinions are on the matter.
Question: 2003 Audi A4 4 cyl
Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 100,000 miles. I have an Audi A4 1.8 Turbo.
When it idles for about 3-5 minutes in begins to output blue - black smoke from
the twin exhauts. Is this a problems caused because the turbo is not getting air
through it as the vehicle is not moving? When driving it does not appears to be
a great problem. Alternatively could it be a fuel issue or something more
sinister - the rings perhaps?
Answer: This smoke
will be oil smoke, i would do an oil consumption test first, change oil and
filter make sure oil is exactly on full mark, note mileage. nun for 1 week and
check oil, if low add but measure amount used and note mileage. report back
findings, check sparks plug for contamination (oil fouling) Is there any smoke
(blue) when starting up cold? if not there may be an oil control issue
happening, or a turbo oil seal, If a turbo seal is faulty you will see small
specks of oil on the back of the car and the tail pipe will be greasy with a
little oil as a turbo oil seal leak will not fully burn the oil entering the
exhaust.
Question: 2004 Audi A4 6 cyl
All Wheel Drive Automatic 54,000 miles. My windshield washer fluid suddenly
stopped working. I filled the reservoir but get no stream for the windshield nor
the headlamps. What could this be?Answer:
no fluid in the reservoir, the pump may have gone bad.
The fuse for the pump may have blown, the line coming off the pump may be
plugged, the switch for the pump may have gone bad. Have someone press the
switch and you listen for the pump humming at the reservoir area.

Question: 1998 a4 2.8 quattro oil
temperature light, my oil temperature light goes
on, checked oil level and it looks fine, only goes on once in a while, what can
it be, I'm thinking maybe a bad oil temperature sender????Answer:
I feel as you do that the oil temp sender may be faulty,
before replacing I would make sure that the electrical connection is clean and
tight, a fault code scan should give a code for this sensor.
