Looking to buy A4 Cabriolet
Hi Bradley, a convertible would be perfect in this nice weather! With the a4 and similar aged vag cars the only rust to be concerned about are the front wings which can rust at the top of the arch. This is caused by a piece of foam which is fitted between the wing and wheel arch liner and over time absorbs moisture which causes the wings to rust. Here's a couple of YouTube video which may help: Cheers Steve

ESP fault
My first port of call would be to get the battery tested as some electrical faults can be caused by a failing battery. If you haven't got the necessary equipment I know halfords can test it for you :) Cheers Steve

Keyless entry
I think it depends if keyless entry was ordered when new. From the sound of it, this is unlikely. As Tom has said this is good for security and let's face it we've been open cars with buttons for years now so pressing it is nother here nor there really.

Dart charge
Looks like a case of cloned plates. Has the garage got CCTV to prove your car was there? Or the garage will have to give a statement. Can you prove you were at work as well as that will help. Cheers Steve

Hi everyone.
I can appreciate it's frustrating and something that shouldn't really happen with the amount of testing the cars get nowadays. You could always take it to another Audi dealer to see what suggestions/ideas they have. I think unless they change the tank I'm unsure what else Audi can do. But they should at least offer this. Cheers Steve

Remapping.....worth it or not?
Most people who have a remap carried out would recommend one but I can't say I've personally done it. Obviously bhp and torque are increased but not always mpg. In theory it should as the new map should smoothen out the torque curve etc. Also the remap could be better improved if you combine it with uprated induction kits or exhausts. It's also key that the car is in good health before you carry out a remap as you will be putting more strain on the engine and potentially the gearbox if it's an auto. If you do have it done and you get called for the emissions recall then do r have the recall done as Audi will wipe your upgraded map. This also goes for software updates which Audi will often do if required when your car goes in for a service or other work. The reason why I've not had a remap is: 1. My a6 is on 328k 2. Despite the fact I could go from 150bhp to 180bhp with a remap the fuel pump my a6 has probably wouldn't be able to cope whereas later a6 models (2004-2005 c5) had a uprated fuel pump as standard. Hope I've helped :) Cheers Steve

New member with some questions audi a4
Welcome to the forum Elias, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch :) You'll definitely see an improvement on acceleration and bhp compared to the 2.0 litre. The tech pack is a personal thing but I know it is very desirable and most that don't get it wish they had. 12 weeks is ages! I bet you'll be watching the build tracker like a hawk! Cheers Steve

Hi everyone.
Hmm, well £30 is approx half a tank and it's what I do too. I think the sloshing is often caused by the shape of the fuel tank and I don't think there is much that can be done in my opinion. My other advice would be to take it to another Audi dealer to get there opinion on it. Cheers Steve
