Re: Help! Terrible Suspension Noise!

...my mechanic is an ex-Audi mechanic who has his own shop; but he does not charge 45 euro/hr for labor like Audi... Wow! €45/h would be extremly cheap in Germany. A official Audi-mechanics in Germany will be charged with roundabout €90/h... I don't feel as bad then; here at the Audi Dealer, la...

Re: Help! Terrible Suspension Noise!

Does it go away, when it rains? Some say, that then it can go away. When it does go away while raining, then I think you have this problem(dried out bushes). Try to locate the part, which is making the noise, and change it for a new one. Yes...after heavy rain, the noise goes away for a while They ...

Help! Terrible Suspension Noise!

For the past year, my Plus has been making terrible squeaking noises from the suspension as I drive. :( Even when parked, if you grab the roof rail and shake the car, you hear the loud squeak as the weight shifts! This is very embarassing :oops: when I have guests in the car, since it is a luxury sp...

Supercharger for the poor?

Has anybody heard of this procedure before? As usual, I am interested in anything that could increase power in my Plus :roll:

Re: PLUS without Klima!!??

I had a S4 without Klima and it was no problem for me. We have some really hot days here... but when I drive I mostly have 4 open Windows + Sunroof to listen to the V8 Sound :P This reminds me of my friend--he does not want to spend money so he uses what he calls the "4-100" Air Condition...

The S6plus is already a high performance "sleeper", which is one of the main reasons I bought one. It would be interesting to enhance the power to bring performance on line with RS4 or even RS6. Anyone ever seen a 4-wheel burnout? :shock: I especially like the supercharger in your link for...

Congratulations--this is a very beautiful example :) It is too bad about your performance problems--if you can't smoke a Kompressor then there must be something wrong since the SLK 230 is a much slower car unless it has had some heavy tuning. :? Your prices seem crazy :shock: For the price you quote...

Yes the Bridgestone S-03 seems to be the best for wet conditions from what I find on internet. Another interesting tire I found is the Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico--this is the tire that comes with the RS6. It has less road noise and it is 40 euro cheaper than the S-03. Any experience with the PZ...

Thanks--maybe I need to move to Germany :wink: I just found that the filling station AGIP (ENI) has begun this month to produce a special fuel "BluSuper", with 98 octane, to be sold at select stations throughout Italy. It costs 4.2 euro cent more per litre. Only one AGIP station here in Vi...

1. In Germany only that size is allowed for summer-use at the PLUS! 2. With a Quattro you should use the same size at both axles, otherwise your gearbox will brake very soon!!! Yes, I will get 4 tires of 255/40 Z17, but is there a good type/model of tire (eg Pirelli, Michelin, etc) that someone has...

European Gasoline Octane?

The S6 manual states that the car is designed for use with 98 octane gasoline. It goes on to say that you may use 95 octane with a reduction in performance. Does anyone know how much is performance affected by using 95 vs 98 octane gasoline? The filling stations here in Italy do not typically list t...

Need New Tires

I see now why I got such a good price for my S6--it needs new tires :? The tires on the car are "ContiSport Contact" 255/40 R 17 94 W, and these tires are almost finished :cry: Anybody know some good all-weather tires that are not too expensive? :roll: They should be available in Italy Als...

Nice site! -- but I found this page much more interesting:

http://explanation-guide.info/meaning/Audi.html

It explains how Audi got its name and what the symbol of the 4 rings means. Many people here probably already know these things, but I am new to Audi cars :oops:
