Hey, guys. This is an excellent thread! Thanks 1Move. I just purchased an 04 A4 Quattro 3.0L on Monday, and I take delivery today. I am very excited, and I will definitely do that throttle tip when I first get into it. Any other handy tips (ones that don't require Vag-Com) are always appreciated! I believe it comes with an owner's manual too

 

I think I have you on msn just shoot me a msg anytime I can help you out!

 

how are the ebay vag-com cables? cheap but do they work

 

Hey, I noticed after turning on the turn signal, and right when I start the turn, there's a quick click noise (every time, both directions), and I don't mean the sound of the signal lever returning to normal position; it's before that. What is this noise, and is it normal?
Also, is there a way to get the headlights to turn on when I turn the car on at all times, and not just when it's night out (auto mode)? I'm refering to the xenon lights. Do those have to be on at all times here in Canada anyway? Thanks guys! Sorry for being a noob, lol.
Another thing I'd like to know: What are some cool after-market parts you can get for Audis? I'm not really refering to items that will increase performance, but anything handy, or just plain awesome.

 

The click you are reffering to is the 3 quick signal tap tap your signal and it will blink 3 times before auto shut off. Your DRL's are manditory for Canada which are your side markers and your fog lights. Auto mode is for xenon on and these should not be on at all times!

 

Hey, thanks, man! Basically, I should just leave the car in Auto mode then, and I'm assuming that the other lights come on on their own all the time, right?
I'm not too sure I understand the part about the signals, though.

 

In regards to throttle alignment, isn't stepping on the gas with the car off a bad thing? Does it not push air into places it shouldn't? Forgive me, I am a noob with this stuff!

 

Nope it is not a bad thing, as it is a process done by Audi as well! How can you push air in a closed loop system?

 

closed loop or not, it's all electronically controlled, with it off it's not pushing anything.
But it's ok we forgive you NOOB

 

i loved my ebay vag cable it worked great every time i used it .
