I love the comments......on slick deals no less! Let's face it....you're not buying an Audi if you're looking for a bargain, so their points have no merit.

- Power steering hose (low speed shudder)
- Turbo (mine is going at 125KKMs)

I would say it's more than likely your turbo spooling based on your description. Do you not hear it whistling at lower speeds? The only other thing that I can think of that has been mentioned before...

Aside from the issues you have with your dipstick, your car will likely need the oil consumption test. In many cases, the 2009 B8 A4s are prone to unusual oil consumption. Audi claims that anything...

My '09 has been really inconsistent. For a while it would go through a qt of oil every 3-4000 Kms.....now it's around every 2000-2500 kms. Seems to be getting worse. I notice that it drops more when...

That's a B7. As far as I know and from what's been said above, the cab was never offered on the B8 platform based on the A5 introduction. Did they sell it to you as a 2009? Nice car none-the-less.

Yeah.... I rent a lot of cars at various airports and that has been the only Audi I;ve been able to find. I'm sure there are others, but just a bit more elusive.
