Car Forum / Audi Cars / March 2005A4 2.5 tdi throttle problem
Maybe some knows this issue: when i drive there is not much of a problem untill i reacht the highway then after accelerating to like 140 Km/h the engine doenst want to go faster anymore ( it remains on the same speed ) then i wait for like 15 to 30 secs ( minimum throttle ) then it will accelerate again to like 160/180 Km/h and then it starts again ! thanks in advance, Marc > Maybe some knows this issue: when i drive there is not much of a problem > untill i reacht the highway then after accelerating to like 140 Km/h the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > thanks in advance, > Marc It's your car telling to you slow down you lunatic. O. >It's your car telling to you slow down you lunatic. Aside from the fact that you don't know where he drives the car, his description indicates something is wrong with it. So, be it allowed or not, I'd also like to know everything is in order with my car. Regards Wolfgang Thank you Oslo for your comment but just to make u happy i drive this car in germany most of the times :-) besides I would expect a more mature answer then yours in an Audi group ! >> Maybe some knows this issue: when i drive there is not much of a problem >> untill i reacht the highway then after accelerating to like 140 Km/h the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > It's your car telling to you slow down you lunatic. > O. Just having a laugh, don't take it so seriously. But even in Germany doing 180Kmh can't be a wise thing, whether your car is working or not.

Ever heard of the term "german autobahn"? It?s not illegal to drive 180km/h on most of them - so whats the problem?

I am an Audi mechanic and worked on many A4s in the UK, and I personally wouldn't drive an A4 at that speed, as in my opinion, the car is far too lightweight to be safe at nearly 200KMh. If I was ever going to drive at that speed, I would only do so with an A6 or higher. Just because its legal, doesn't mean it's safe, you need to use your own judgement that your vehicle can sustain balance and handling at these speeds. O. >OK, drive at whatever speed you like.

The S4, which is the same weight class as an A4 can go faster easily. Many A4 are regularly driven faster than that on German Autobahns and nobody really has a problem with that. The A4 is not exactly a lightweight car. It's around 1.4 metric tons? And moreover, the same would be true for BMW's and Mercs. I just looked it up: The Porsche 911 has around 1450 kg and nobody would question it's ability to go way fast quite safely. IMO there is no real relation between speed safety and weight as long as lift and drag are figured in properly. >If I was ever going to drive at that speed, I would only do so with an A6 or >higher. Just because its legal, doesn't mean it's safe, It does in most circumstances, otherwise it wouldn't be legal. If it does make sense is another question. >you need to use your >own judgement that your vehicle can sustain balance and handling at these >speeds. But what has that to do with weight?

I think your head may explode at that speed too, at least that is what I've heard from other people. Signatureazoth@dod.no ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wenn im Zweifel, Volleistung! DoD#2101 '93 Audi 100 2.3E When in doubt, floor it! Well to be honest i was driving my a4 way over 220 more like 235/240 ( its tuned ) and still then the car reacts magnificent ! i already had some nice cars ( bmw,mercs, vw etc etc ) but this Audi is one of the best :-) >> OK, drive at whatever speed you like.

I find the Audi at speeds of 100mph actually very nice to drive, > 230-240 is about 140mph init, I have hit that once or twice, and jeez > you are traveling then, I think the top speed of the 1.8T Q is 141. I've had mine (2001 1.9TDi 130) up to an indicated 140mph a couple of times, once on the M62 coming down off the Pennines, and again on the M40 late one night coming back from London, there's a long descent as you come down from the Chilterns. That's its top whack though, the revs were sitting just below redline at that speed. Sadly mine doesn't have the 6-speed option fitted, otherwise it might have gone just a little faster. > I find the Audi at speeds of 100mph actually very nice to drive, When on the motorway I tend to just let the car find the speed it wants to travel at. With my A4 it's around 110-120mph, which is very comfortable. Keeping it below 100mph is actually quite hard work!

I want an S4 though. Although I'll probably end up with the 2.0 TDi Quattro when I change this one (1.9TDi 130bhp front wheel drive).
