Just to add my 2 pence in, in some cases the EGR can also affect a "clutch judder" sort of feel, where theres not enough power, can you do fast take offs? if it slows down after the judder then kicks in it can be a EGR valve issue. Keep us updated. Regards Bradley

Nice! ;-D

Some pictures of my princess

Missing you too Brad! But it's understandable, work can get busy!

Welcome to the forum Miguel :D Great car there ;-) any pictures? have fun and as Steve said we're a friendly bunch :) Regards Bradley

Will keep you guys updated, And I haven't been able to come on for a while because of being so busy at work! missing this forum! @Trevor

I'll will give the 5w40 a try, and yes, a quick Google search shows that this engines are abit oil thirsty... Thanks for the help Gareth!

Hello Miguel, Now with more knowledge about the symptoms then probably ignore the trial of using Quantum oil, and I guess it's worth a try with a good quality 5/40 fully synthetic. If you do find any issue with the breather system, then it would first be worth simply continuing with the Castrol Edge to see what happen. Others will offer more informed information, but do I recall some comment about some if these engines using oil? Kind regards, Gareth.

Welcome to the forum Miguel :) youll find the members on here are a friendly bunch and will help you if you have any questions :) feel free to post a pic of your a4 when you get a chance :) cheers steve

Hello Brad. In my book, if it has a Econ button then it effectively has air conditioning- although I think Audi prefer to call it climate control! I believe Econ pressed, means the air con. will not come on. You should be able to confirm air co. by looking for the large section flexible gas pipes (with tyre type valve) leading to a compressor. Not sure how long you have had the car, but I would expect it would benefit from a re-gas every few years to ensure an adequate supply of cold air through the vents. You are right in thinking that the air con. should automatically cut in if the temperature is set to Low, but I believe it should also cut in at any time when the outside temperature is higher than the selected inside temperature, and the control set to Auto. Sounds like you will be need a re gass Brad. There were offers about- if you come across any good ones could you please let me know since our two cars would benefit from this too. Kind regards, Gareth.

Not sure if this tarnishing of the plasti-chrome may be aggravated by the trend to have cars washed cheaply, with no personal effort, by our friends wealding pressure lances loaded with high clean chemicals such as truck cleaners. Known to wreak lacquer. Kind regards, Gareth.

Glad it's all sorted :) feel free to add a guide under the technical section to help other members in the future :) cheers steve
