Hello all...
Yes, i am another new guy to the forum. I have a good mechanical know how, and can tackle most situations on my own, but i do have a question for anyone who may know the answer.
I have a 1993 Audi S4 Quattro Turbo 5 spd. In the last year or so, its developed an oil drip only when running, but is getting worse. It seems to be coming from a device on the drivers side of the motor which looks to me like a sensor of some sort. It has one white wire with a slide on terminal, and leaks oil when motor runs. Is this a oil pressure sensor, or switch,? It looks pretty simple to access, but im not sure if they are the same orderwise... any thoughts anyone?

Hi. I'm trying to keep my beloved '01 Audi TT convertible going with its low mileage, great power and style, etc. I'm seeing on this forum that I'm experiencing some typical age-related problems- but I"m not seeing alot or any replies on this forum.
My two current issues:

1. Convertible sensor: When the top is fully closed - the car indicator for it on the dash goes on, limits the windows from rolling all the way up & doesn't think it is until it sits awhile ignition off. Then, when I turn it on again, problem gone- indicator light off, and windows finish rolling up. Hmmm? I heard some sensor needs to be replaced. Is that it? Or is it connection or something else? I ask because it does work again each time after sitting cold -- it's like it resets itself...

2. Biggee: A/C not working after thin black foam (liner?) coming out of vents. Ever heard of this lining problem before & that it could be reventing some flap between heat & cool from moving to enable cooling? $300 to try out this theory. Also read online about a possible Reset procedure for the car's "climate control system." Do we have that and how to do that? Had battery issues lately (resolved now) so....maybe? Another a/c shop at a gas station says I need a new compressor -- that repair starts at $1,000 here. Here is what they agree on & observe:
1. heat, defrost, fans all work fine and normally.
2. Not leaking refrigerant (checked twice) verified with gauges, etc. System flushed, etc. No improvement.
3. No audible clicking sounds or stopping
4. Air May be getting cold just for a second or two when first turn it on - then not (hard to tell since I live in SF where the outside air is almost always cool).

i'm agonizing over this because money is an issue as I am not working. Unfortunately my two elderly parents, one in very poor health, both live in 100+F degree weather 3-4 hours roundtrip. I only want to fix the A/C to visit them but the money and disagreement in the diagnosis are holding me back. I don't want to end up spending $1300+!! Help!!

Hi, I'm stuck with the Audi a4 b5 5speed manual transmission. The car's speed just dropped while in 5th gear and came to a stand still. It looks like the transmission is somehow stuck in gear because when I push the car with the engine off and the gear shifter in neutral, it remains stuck. All the gears on the shifter goes in smoothly except reverse gear does not go in. I've removed the transmission, opened it and could see that there was thin metal plate with teeth crushed inside and also opened the differential side and the tip of the one drive flange was broken off with its circlip on the magnet. I've cleaned it very good, put the transmission back and still the same problem. Please help me I'm stranded and don't know what to do. I've also noticed that the shift forks on the pinion shaft is not moving when selecting with the selector. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Chris welcome sir!! Question,on my2005 Audi a8 Quattro 6.0 12 cylinder,I'm having problems with my mmi settings,it won't let me pull up the mode of suspension at all,it came on regularly for the first 4 months I had it but now with a problem with my suspension being above the tires on me it barely raises enough when I start it,so is there any relation to it not pulling it up in my mmi setting in correlation to my air suspension having issues cause I'm positive that it stopped showing up at least a few weeks prior to my suspension somewhat failing,which I think very well could be cause of my compressor,any help with either of those would be very helpful sir,thankyou
