    1998 A4 TDI Avant Last week one of my remotes was not unlocking the car without it being pressed three of four time. I suspected the battery, what with it now getting colder. Now I know this is my own fault but I took out one of the batteries to get the correct replacements. I guess it was...

    DAB Replacement Roof Aerial

    Hello, I've a 98 A4 Avant. How much work is involved in removing the original roof mount aerial? I looking to replace it with a DAB/FM/AM model or should I just go for an additional glass mount jobbie. I guess it all depends on the coax routing of the original. Any advice is appreciated.

    Confirmed by my local independent. A Audi main dealer is the only way to get the immobiliser to function with the replacement key. Both keys need to de coded at the same time otherwise the other will not work. Car now booked in for Thursday. Ho well...

    Hi Docurley, I have now got a replacement flip key (same part number). The key will lock/unlock the doors but the dash imobiliser icon repeatedly flashes. Any idea what I have done/doing wrong? Thanks

    Replacement Key Coding

    Hi Doc, thanks for the info. One Question, you mention "switchblade", do you mean the flip type as I'm intending to get a "standard non flip" type (because its a loads cheaper). Will the above instructions still apply? Thanks

    A4 Aircon Nightmare?

    Thanks mate that was my gut feeling. He said he will look for a used aircon controller, but he cant get one at the moment. He said the car can be collected. I would need to pay with visa. Does anyone know how I legally stand with this, if after replacing the controller the AC still does not work?

    Turbo whistling, Advice requested?

    I have recently got myself a 1998 A4 Avant 110 TDI, I have owned this for about four weeks now. Its just that a number of people have commented on the whistle from the turbo, I must admit its quit a loud(ish) sound. At point of sale I thought nothing of it, but with these noise comments, I'm now...

    A4 110 TDI Quattro Avant, cost of owning?

    Thanks for that, sounds great fun. Bit of a sad question but do they cost more to run and service over a standard A4 TDI? I would be looking for a 97/98 model.

    A4 110 TDI Quattro Avant, cost of owning?

    Is the total cost of running/owning a A4 110 TDI Quattro Avant much more the a standard 110 Avant. I can't make up my mind on whether I should wait and save the up the extra cash or just stay with my original idea and buy the A4 110 Avant. Comments & advice appreciated.
