Im lookin to buy a 2006 audi a4 s 2.0 turbo how reliable is it and how expensive are service costs?
i found a 2006 model with 61,600 miles for $16,995, how reliable are newer (2006) models and how expensive is service to maintain the car. I realize for fuel premium should be used and synthetic motor oil is the best for the kind of a car.Im lookin to buy a 2006 audi a4 s 2.0 turbo how reliable is it and how expensive are service costs?I can tell you that service costs for an Audi is pretty pricey. For the most part the actual mechanical components are solid and have little issues. Where you will get a fair amount of problems is from the electrical systems. The sensors are constantly going out. The dealership where I live charges $150 for diagnostics and $250 to have a technician hook the car up to the diagnostic machine, so even if it's a $30 sensor that takes less than 20 min to fix you won't walk out of service with a bill less than $400. Labor charges for Audi Techs run above $100/hr as well. Add in the cost of premium fuel, full synthetic oil, expensive replacement parts, and specialized tire sizes, you are looking at a serious investment for a performance vehicle. It sure is fun to drive though.Im lookin to buy a 2006 audi a4 s 2.0 turbo how reliable is it and how expensive are service costs?Volkswagens are garbage cars which makes Audi sweet-scented garbage. I worked in a garage to pay my way through college and I always scratched my head when people continued to bring their Audi vehicles in. The vehicle is very straightforward and easy to work on but the parts are heinously over priced and on occasion they require special tools for the mechanic and guess what...the cost gets passed on to you! And to make matters worse, the german car makers have decided to CRAM their vehicle full of useless electronic gadget which will lead to even more frequent service. My dos centavos. But if you hate the money you work for, buy an Audi.chucky cheese coupons
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how to take apart a Key Fob for an 07 Audi?
I need to get at the Transponder for a project I am doing, without damaging the Fob itself. ThanksIs there anyone out there who could tell me how to take apart a Key Fob for an 07 Audi?The only part of the key fob that can be removed without ruining it is the cover on the back. The cover can be removed with gentle pressure pushing away from the fob (I use a pocket screwdriver). This will expose the battery. Other than that the fob is sealed. I have opened a couple junk Audi fobs and taken the immobilizer chip out, but it ruins the fob.Is there anyone out there who could tell me how to take apart a Key Fob for an 07 Audi?use a brick
Inside vavlve cover is leaking and the oil pan gasket is leaking on audi a4?
i have an audi a4 1998 2.8 quattro manual transmission. the inside vavlve cover is leaking and the oil pan gasket is leaking. what is the cost to get that repair? where should you advice me to go except the dealer they gonna rip me off.Inside vavlve cover is leaking and the oil pan gasket is leaking on audi a4?Depends on where you live. Cost for parts is about $150 for the 30 Valve motor and about $75 for the 12 valve motor. Labor is about 3 hours so figure $250 or so. Google independent Audi repair in your area and call a couple of shops and ask.Inside vavlve cover is leaking and the oil pan gasket is leaking on audi a4?Do you use synthetic motor oil? If so, switch to conventional oil since this will not leak past your old hardened gasgets as easily. If you want to replace the gasgets, you can do it yourself by getting a gasget kit from your local auto store for about $35. It's not that hard to do.Inside vavlve cover is leaking and the oil pan gasket is leaking on audi a4?Its unlikely the oil pan is leaking. It just looks that way because the oil from the valve cover runs down the motor and onto the pan.
A V6 Audi? It'll probably cost you more than the car's worth.

Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?
I would appreciate reasons for which one you choose and or pros and cons to each ones or even personal experiences with one the cars. Thank You.Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?I agree with the previous poster- ifunewwh. I would avoid both vehicles for several reasons. Although the Acura TSX has rock soild reliability, it is front wheel drive and honestly, the AWD Audi will out drive the TSX, especially in bad weather. Audi's in general have horrific reliability records which partly account for their poor depreciation rates- only a few points above Hyundai and Kia. Do you want to shell out serious cash for a vehicle that will hold less than 1/2 its value in three years?
Another factor to consider is that Audi makes changes to their models every two years which means this years model (2007) is already outdated next year. Additionally, take a look at Consumer affairs and read the horror stories about Audi's reliability and high maintenance costs. If you do you may save yourself some serious money and trouble.
On the other hand, I would highly recommend the 2008 Cadillac CTS. It was just awarded the 2008 Motor Trend Car of the Year award and beat out the Audi A5/S5 among many other cars which people highly praise. In my opinion, test driving the CTS will change your opinion about all vehicles- you will not believe it to be an American car and better yet, a fully loaded AWD CTS 3.6L costs as much as an Audi A4, stripped BMW 335i/528i or MB C350- and it has far more interior space and technology (ie- a 40 GB hard drive for movies, pictures and music, built in USB/iPod connection, Bluetooth etc etc etc)
Or for something very surprising, test drive the Lincoln MKS. Super looks and AWD like the CTS. Just passing along some info you may find useful.Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?
German made baby! Audi.Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?The Audi is a fantastic car.... until it breaks. Audi's are known for being finiky, and are expensive to fix when things do go wrong. TSX is also a nice car but is amoung the most religable cars on the road and considerably less expensive to fix if something does go wrong.
Agree with Howie, above.
Also, the initial cost of the Audi is likely to be considerably more than the Acura, unless you've found an outstanding deal.Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?Forget both the cars get an 08 Lincoln MKZ with 263Hp and AWD,don't forget to get sync and all the other sweet sh*t it comes with.Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?
I would get the AudI A4 quattro because i look more for performance, driving dynamics and build quality over reliability. If you are looking for the cheapest to own it would probably be the TSX but the Audi will have better driving dynamics road feel and build quality wise there is no comparison the Audi has the more luxurious and higher quality feeling interior. Honestly they are both nice but i think the Audi is still a step above the Acura i think the Audi has the advantage in just about every aria other than cost of ownership. The quattro system is a Huge advantage over front wheel drive and honestly once you get out of front drive cars i would be surprised if you went back AWD is far superior to front drive in bad weather and good weather and Rear drive definitly the best in good weather over all there is really no reason to buy a front drive car other than cost if you can afford to get an AWD or rear wheel drive car its well worth it.
Hands down I would go with the TSX the standard features alone make the car worth it: http://www.forbesautos.com/gallery/2008/鈥?/a>Should i get an Audi A4 quatro or Acura TSX?
Japanese made Lexus IS350. If you can't afford it, the TSX will be just fine. Can't go wrong with Japanese car. you can keep it for a long long time with low cost of maintenance. I own a Japanese and my son has his troublesome A4 Quattro. I put my money in my bank but he puts his money into repair bills.
I think that we can all see that almost everyone is saying 2 get the audi, the audi is the BEST one for sure. It has better build quality american cars DONT!!!!!!!

How much Is it to lease an Audi s5 and how much is a payment per month in Michigan?
I'll find out on saturday, I want to get one too, i'm sure at least it's like a 600 per month with some down payment :(. I havent' made up my mind yet between the S5 or the BMW 335is. If the S5 is too expensive you can consider the A5 with the S-Line package very indentical but a lot cheaper becasue of the engine difference.How much Is it to lease an Audi s5 and how much is a payment per month in Michigan?I am going to give you some tips in how to figure this out.
1- Negotiate the price with the dealer and reach a consensus
2- How much money or trade equity are you putting down
3- Term of lease
4- Mileage per year
5- When you get that figured, you will have your answer.
Oh and one more thing, you will need comprehensive insurance, and the policy has to be written so that replacement is the amount for what the car goes for new.
