Hi all. I'm new to the Forum as I'm about to take the plunge on an A4 Cabrio. I had an S2000 until fairly recently and I'm missing that rag top vibe, but having a family now means a replacement has to have 4 seats! So, I think I've come up with the "right answer" for me... I think Petrol as I have heard of too many problems with VAG TDi engines (from friends who have had big bills and from online forums too) - injectors, water pumps, DPFs, etc etc and as the car would be a keeper, I just want it to be as risk-free as any second hand car could be. IN the case of a petrol, it would have to be the 2.0 TFSI as it offers the best compromise between performance and frugality. Transmission wise, I'm split. I'd quite like an auto, mainly for convenience and the fact it's much more of a cruiser than a GT (with paddles as I perceive them to be more "fun") but again I've heard lots of bad things about the Multitronic box reliability wise. I think the consensus is that they don't have as many issues with the TFSI due to the lower torque output of that engine and that if it has been serviced properly then it should be ok anyway. The car I'm looking at is an 09 plate with 42K miles and a FASH, so hopefully a test drive, a look at the books and a couple of phone calls to Audi should de-risk it as much as I can. I'm more than happy for people to pick my argument apart. I'm looking for either reassurance that I've made sound decisions, or the fact I've been an idiot... Thanks in advance!

Hi All Just purchased a 2010 A5 Cabriolet Quattro 2.0 TSFI with 57k on the clock and i've noticed if I rock the steering wheel back and forth there is quite a substantial knocking sound coming from the steering. Sounds like there is some play in the steering rack and it's knocking around however this is only 5 years old and done 57k so not what I would expect to hear. There is no play in the steering and the car drives fine. It mostly noticeable while stopped although I can still hear it when moving it's just masked by more engine/road noise. Any advice would be great. Thanks George

Hello all! I am new to the group but have loved Audis for many years. Previously my budget restrained me to 80's class 'fixer uppers', but this necessity turned into a bit of a passion. My first love was a tornado red Coupe followed by a Cabriolet i've been nursing for a few years (despite having an old A4 Avant as my first car, this doesn't make a huge portfolio in the grand scale of things but i'm still in my 20s). I have had an opportunity recently which has enabled me to realise my long term dream and become an RS6 owner. However, my love of Audis does not translate to my knowledge of how they work! Surprising considering the amount of times I've sat on the side of the road with the bonnet up! I am trying to bring my cabriolet back up to it's former glory before passing it onto a family member (so I know it's close by). The headlamp has cracked and i'm looking to replace it. There are a few on ebay but I want to check the compatibility. I'm sure they are all very similar if not the same but don't know where to check. Mine is a 2000 final edition cabriolet. Would any right hand drive, post 1998 cab headlamp be compatible? I'm also missing one of the plastic grates that sit on the front bumper beneath the lights if anyone can help? I would also appreciate any advice offered to an new RS6 owner! it's an engineering marvel that makes me giddy... but a complicated one and i'm willing to learn. Any thoughts are appreciated. Kinds regards Al
