After 11 years of ownership we need this motor gone,1993 16v,full engine rebuild 3 years ago but the paint is starting to fail and lack of mot or tax means it's not...

    A4 corrosion warranty

    I've been looking at the previous posts and not found too much on the a4 variant on the corrosion warranties.I know that anything made after 1997 carries a 12 year guarantee and that main dealers are more slippery than a snake on a algae covered stone.Especially when it comes to honouring these...

    Can't get the tracking done!

    I've just had the audi 2.0 16v coupe in for its tracking as the outer edges on the tyres wear out miles quicker than the rest of the tread.But the chap said that it was so far out that he couldn't do it. Now i knew something was a miss because the car has been pulling slightly to the left and...

    4 stud to 5 stud

    Does anyone know of a simple yet inexpensive way to switch the audi 4 stud pattern to the later 5 stud pattern like that off the A4. I'm presuming that all of the hubs need to be changed and the like,but how far do you have to go?

    ABS light

    Why is it that when my 1993 2.0 16v coupe hits a constant 60 MPH or more the ABS light comes on and stays on until the car's ignition is switched off.When the car is re-started the light is off and stays off until the car reaches those speeds again.Any ideas?
