1998 Audi A4 2.8

Summary:

Good riddance its almost gone

Faults:

Transmission, seals, every electrical item you can name.

General Comments:

This car is a piece of crap. I had to get it towed in my first month of ownership. My BMW never gave me this kind of trouble. I was warned that Audi and VW are electrical system nightmares and this just proves this. Terrible car.

The Quattro feature is nice but now BMW has an Xi 3 Series that's where I am going once this Audi garbage goes into the scrap heap. My 993 Porsche never gave me these problems either.

Give me a break. You obviously got a lemon. The majority of A4's have had great reliability. There is no need to bad mouth this car the way you have.

If his car is a lemon then he has every right to say all the bad things about it. He has probably paid nigh on £20000 for it so he should expect a good car.

The majority of ALL reviews show this car to be a lemon.

In my opinion, after doing my research, I DEFINITELY do not want one.

1998 Audi A4 t Quattro Sport 1.8t petrol

Faults:

I'm trying, but so far, I can't think of anything.

General Comments:

What a car! With the manual shift, the dunlop Zs, 7-spoke sport wheels and mica blue coat, this car looks and rides like a beloved toy. The simplest errands become time for freedom and meditation. My only question is what chip to use, to exploit an engine that, although peppy, wouldn't mind a jolt.

Had a tiny clicking noise when depressing the clutch, took it straight in and they looked at it and changed the part there and then. (Rubber bush on clutch area? Sorry not very technical) Solved anyway.
