Sounds good. When I was visualizing it, it didn't seem like it would, but I figured I would ask. Thanks.

I had this same issue with my car, though not an Avant. Force balancing and new shoes helped immeasurably, though it is not totally resolved, and like many others, seems to vary day-to-day, a...

I've never really noticed "sooting" with my A4 (of course I also don't have chrome tips), but before the A4 I had a VW Eos and the tips always had carbon on them. I agree, I think the 2.0T is kind of...

The short answer is no, I didn't pay for any of them, though there are a variety of reasons I didn't pay for them. In your situation, with your issue, I would recommend contacting AoA and relating...

Thanks for the feedback. That is the same logic I have been using. I honestly have a hard time convincing myself that the JHM is worth it once you factor in price, throw reduction, and difficulty of...

Don't know what set it off or why it stopped, but I have had an odd, somewhat antiseptic smell from the AC on several occasions (seemed really bad coming out of winter when I first started using my...

JHM shifter in or near Baltimore

Was wondering if anyone had a JHM shifter installed on their car in or near Baltimore. Trying to decide if I want to go JHM or Stratmosphere and would think the feel of the shifter might really go a...

I'm no expert, but if I heard that sound, I would assume it was brake-related (after verifying there wasn't anything dragging on the wheel). I would definitely take it in, though I understand your...

I realize it isn't precisely apples to apples, and actually goes against the prevailing tenor and consensus of the thread, but I test drove an A5 P+ 2.0T (it was either an '09 or '10) and found the...

Unless there is some box to check to get it (and unless the 2011/2012s are different), I don't believe the Premiums get all the bells and whistles in the MFD, just miles until empty. I didn't check...

I get the add 1qt warning about every 5k miles, so I guess I am doing better than others. My first warning that it was normal to burn oil was that Audi covered every part of the engine in plastic,...

No experience with a dealer on this, but don't think it would be all to hard to do it yourself. OEM Plus has a full kit that includes the lights, controllers, and wiring. It isn't cheap, though...

The observation about the type of driving is spot on. My commute is about 60% highway, 40% city, and when I am off, we usually drive my wife's car, rather than mine, so my car doesn't get tons of...

A little late to the party on this one, but I had an APR tune done on a VW Eos with the 2.0T and the power gains were, well, monstrous, over stock. A bit frightening at times due to the amount of...
