I recently acquired this model Audi and it's obviously old with many  
miles and, unquestionably, some issues.
    One of my concerns is regarding the air/ventilation in the cabin.
    The settings on the Climate control don't seem to be working properly.  

About two weeks ago I washed my car and later on that night, I
developed problems with my driver side door indicator telling me the
door was opened with all the bells and whistles going off.  It so
happens, the temperture has dropped into the teens that last two weeks.

any one have any experience using the below
generic brand oil filter for A4 1.8 2001?
bosch, mann, mahle..
Is it o.i. to use the generic brand?

    Had my 2000 A4 1.8TQ in for my oft-engaging engine check
light. Again the codes were for MAF meter and they changed it.
I just picked it up and when the turbo spools up in 2nd and up
gears, it sounds totally unlike before - very loud and clear (as

99' A6 Quattro with less than 30K, the infamous jumpy gas gauge did it to me
yesterday. No beep, no instrument warning, just simply ran out of gas. The
check engine light came on with NO indication of empty tank (gauge showed
1/3 of tank-full). Towed it to the shop and they ...

we recently bought an 1992 Audi 100 cs and have had some problems with the
car alarm doing weird things and radio saying "SAFE" but thanks to this
website got them fixed.  
Now.......... we have no heat - the display screen on the climate control

My Audi A6 2002 stopped showing the driving computer information in the FIS
display (or what ever you call it) in the instrument panel. The actual
display panel seems to work ok, because I can see the intial message saying
"press brake to..." and also when I press the trim knob ...

I found this article listed in this group:

Although the posting was from 2003, I'd like to inform everyone that
this problem is still very much an issue today.

I can see the sump at the back of the engine with a drain plug in the
centre, but I can also
see an oil pan (?)  with a drain plug at the front of the engine (this
is where the oil filter is).

Over time, the near side Xenon headlamp on my S3 has given a gradually more
yellow beam, more akin to that of a 'normal' headlamp.
My lights now give completely different colours when looking at the beam on
the car in front when queueing in traffic.

There is a small oil leak from the rear of the right hand cylinder bank which
drips onto the exhaust and makes a smell.  The leak looks as if it it is from
under the rear inlet camshaft bearing cap where I believe there is a gasket.
Have tried tightening the 3 screws holding the cap ...

Hi, just wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on a problem I have with
my heated seats.  I have a 2001 A4 Quattro.  When I turn on the heat for the
driver's seat I get a very rapid and intense warming in the left side of the
seat...almost too hot. Even with the control at ...

Has anyone purchased from Extended Warranties for Audi A4. My A4 1.8
(CVT) will lapse for warranty within the next few months.
I'm weighing purchasing of the Extended Warranty, and was quoted by
Audi dealer in Etobicoke 2900 CD$ for additional 80k or 2 years.

But, We are a little scared about the warranty. The dealer is forcing
