tope24: i have a baby boy 98 model that consumes fuel and also the gear takes a lil tym to change to the next gear. also the engine makes a funny sound. Your fuel consumption will be linked to your transmission. If it takes too long to engage the next gear, the engine speeds (rpm) will remain in the higher threshold, a bit like a slipping clutch. The first thing to do with your transmission, is to have the fluid level checked. It's most likely low, and dirty, so a flush and replenish should be your first port of call. If this doesn't change anything, then you have internal issues, beyond the scope of the average mechanic. At '98, I believe your car won't support OBD diagnostics for the transmission, make sure you use a decent garage, and best of luck. |

I'm thinking of going into A4 parts, i.e from 95model upwards. How is the demand in Nigeria? Mr Siena i'll need you here for a word or two. |
Re: How Reliable Is An Audi A4 1999 Model by Nobody: 3:29pm On Sep 25, 2012 |
itsmayiela: It exists alright. Did you add the international prefix? +44 (0) 7432 870 840. If you're calling from within the UK it will work fine without the prefix. |

Pls my dad wants to get a toyota product but has just a sum of 630k which year product ccamryan he purchase with that and how is the mainteanance and fuel consumption. |
Re: How Reliable Is An Audi A4 1999 Model by Nobody: 5:22pm On Sep 25, 2012 |
sammhi: siennna, Shock absorbers MUST be replaced with new items only, not used. These are what take the most punishment in the suspension, and on a heavy AWD SUV, will be dead as early as 50,000 miles on Nigerian roads. I would also be inclined to look at EVERY rubber / nylon suspension bush and ALL joints. If there's any excessive movement, the offending component must be replaced with the correct new part. The same goes for steering track rod ends. |

torres2: Pls my dad wants to get a toyota product but has just a sum of 630k which year product ccamryan he purchase with that and how is the mainteanance and fuel consumption. That will net a 1996 - 1998 Toyota Camry 2,2 16V. Fuel consumption on that age of car could be average to high, depending on how it's been looked after, and how many miles it's covered. If it's a manual, it will be better on fuel. Maintenance is easy, and parts may be cheap depending on where you buy, and what parts you're replacing. |

A significant percentage of the B5 audi A4s i have come across seem to have body integrity issues... |
Re: How Reliable Is An Audi A4 1999 Model by Nobody: 7:43pm On Sep 25, 2012 |
platinumricky: A significant percentage of the B5 audi A4s i have come across seem to have body integrity issues... That will be down to poor repairs. They don't rust, as the bodywork is fully galvanised. Mine is a '95, so almost 18-years-old. No rust, even the areas where there are scrapes that have removed the paint, the steel underneath is still grey. |

Siena:thanks so much and where can we get it better is it lagos or cotonou. |

tope24: i have a baby boy 98 model that consumes fuel and also the gear takes a lil tym to change to the next gear. also the engine makes a funny sound.alot of things can make ur car consume fuel than normal. One of it is your transmission that takes more time to select; a dirty or bad throttle body,injector and or other components of the fuel line, d engine could also be the cause if its weak; u mentioned dat it makes a funny sound tho one can hardly tell from ur dscription, d dlay in gear changing also cld be caused by a numbr of things; ur engine mounts cld be bad, ur transmission cld also have issues. oga siena & other gurus in d house will say more. |

My Peeps... Please i am in urgent need of solid advice... i have an offer; to buy a 2006 Audi A4 2.0L The car was bought brand new in 2006 and was used sparingly before it was parked. The mileage is about 30k and all the while it was being used; it was serviced by Stallion Motors. The seller however is insisting on 1.5M and i really do no know much about Audi's . Opinions are needed please ; is it a good buy? |
Re: How Reliable Is An Audi A4 1999 Model by Nobody: 7:44pm On Oct 31, 2012 |
735 i: An Audi A4 2,0 B6 at 1,5M is dirt cheap. Please don't tell me you're looking to get it cheaper than that?? Please post a picture, and the VIN, and I'll tell you more about it. |

Siena: Siena, I have sought ur wise counsel repeatedly but it seems u ignore me. I nid ur advice, pls. I have been doing a lot of reading on Benz 190 since I made up my mind (courtesy of dis thread) to go for the make. There are two versions that have taken my fancy and I need the gurus to kindly assist my naivety, pls; I am fascinated with the 2.5-16 Evo2 and 2.6 Sportline versions of 190e, both are rare/limited edition cars which i'd love to own one. Which shud I go for, and why, pls? Thanks for ur needed counsel. |
