I have a 2012 down here in Illinois...
We are suffering from the BlackHawks loss to the Champs.

My wife has cracked er windshield now for the second time.
A rock hit her close to the edge of the windshield on drivers side eye level.
Is this a common problem?
Did anyone come up with a front end deflector yet??
Thanks for the info...

No problem!

VCDS by Rosstech would be the most comprehensive software suite for diagnosis. A VW/Audi specialized garage should have it.

Hey greenline4,

Is your A4 equipped with CVT? Does your PRNDS flash at all?

That code is related to the TCM and incorrect output reading from the gearbox. . Check if there is any damage to the wiring/connectors. If the wiring/connectors are good, replacing the TCM is the only real option. The G196 sensor is built into the TCM on CVT transmissions

hey audishrink,

That just sounds like a bit of bad luck unfortunately

Searching all the popular auto accessory websites and there doesn't seem to be one available.

Maybe another member can chime in if they've come across it?

Hello,

I have two questions regarding my A3 2009:

1) I noticed recently when I start the car it vibrates for while until warm. Its not a hard vibrate but still noticeable. What could be the cause? Is this a sign that sparks plugs or coils are going?

2) I have scheduled my 115KM maintenance with the dealer. Spark Plugs, In cabin filter, CVT fluid change, Oil Change, Computer scan, all costing $900.00. Should I really be going to the dealer for all these items? Is there a reputable place that will give a better price and do a good job, with warranty?

Please Help.

Thanks,

Darlene

Hi MotorFabrik, I am now the proud owner of a 2005 S4 Avant with 127,000 km in near perfect condition and by all appearances well maintained. I called the Audi dealer where it had it's reg maintenance done and they reported no unusual issues and that it looked like a good car. CEL appeared after first fill up and I assumed it was the gas cap. Our decoder flagged " mixture too lean" After adding gas line antifreeze and re capping, husband removed code with his decoder it still came back, not flashing. Car runs beautiful. Note: I have had a strange power surge( lasts a couple of secs) two separate occasions just after take off and never returns during trip. Any ideas? Also does the generic decoder work as well as the VAG that you all talk about?
