My local Stealership quoted me $5,150 to replace faulty T.C.M but offered no options for repair of module.
I stated that their quote was more than the car was worth and they agreed. Were they expecting me to buy a new Audi?
Went to local mechanic who confirmed the fault on his diagnostic computer, removed the module which is bolted onto the back of the C.V.T The module was then sent to Melbourne (Injectronics) who replaced faulty components, tested the module and returned to Hobart mechanic. Installation and testing takes 2 hrs. Repaired module...Read more

Here I was thinking Audi vehicles were built with performance and reliable as their pillars. I was so wrong. My Audi A4 TDI with 150k on the clock recently developed the dreaded "FLASHING PRNDS". That simply means the gearbox selection shown on the dash has a red flashing bar over the top. Personally never heard of it so I typed it into the internet and up comes hundreds of threads about it! Clearly this is a big problem all around the world for Audi vehicles. Seems more common for B6 & B7 models as they have multitronic transmission (CVT). The...Read more

I bought a 2006 model Audi A4 Avant it had less then 100 000 km on the clock. I bought it from Audi centre Perth it drove well for a year I went for my first service at a time when everything was fine they replaced some parts under warranty after that my engine warning light came up and I went back to the Audi service to try and fix the problem, they fixed it then the next day the light came on again for 10 months I have been back to the Audi service 9 times and the problem hasn't been fixed. My warranty is expiring soon and I will be stuck wi...Read more

I owned a 2005 Audi A4 Quattro B7 (2.0 litre not 1.8) with the Tiptronic auto. Test drove the BMW 3 series and C-Class and felt this car was the best choice for me, as the A4 is in-between the 3 series and 5 series in size and offered a more sporty feel thanks to the turbo power delivery and all wheel drive grip.

Great steering feel (always felt solid and safe), suspension was tight, silent and a near perfect set up between comfort and performance. I believe this is only the Quattro suspension though and cannot comment on the regular A4s.

We bought a 2007 1.8 turbo S-line second hand from a dealer with 40,000 on the clock. Within 2 months the transmission failed and it needed to be towed to get fixed. Apparently something went wrong with computer and it was fixed under warranty. We then had another problem when the coil pack needed replacing ($500). Also had to replace the front discs and braked pads and our car has done less than 70,000kms ($600). These repairs were not done at Audi as they are biggest crooks when it comes to service or repairs.
The car is very smooth to drive...Read more

With the price of petrol rising and the amount of speed cameras the Audi A4 2.0T Quattro is an excellent option for those wanting a quick punchy, awesome handling and great looking machine to drive. If you can afford it I recommend you at least test drive it. I have mostly owned V6's & V8's locally built cars but todays with what is available this would be in my opinion the new beasty road machine on the road that uses by far less fuel than a V8 and less than a V6 yet still accelerates with heaps of power. If price is out of your reach then che...Read more
