Default New Here - Looking for advice

Hi All,

I'm looking for advice from someone other than a saleperson. Which is the best Audi all-around? I want all-wheel drive and I have a budget of 50K. What is my best bet and why?

Thanks in advance.

Default RE: New Here - Looking for advice


Hi to all,
I had a brand new A3 which just run for 530 km in 5 months time. I kept it in my garage and run the engine once in a while. I seldom use the car. Last Dec. 9, 2007, the car failed to start. I called the Philippine Audi dealer for awarranty but I was disgusted because I was told that they can't honor a warranty for the fuel pump because I seldom use the car and it's what's causing the fault. What a silly alibi. I called a mechanic and had the car checked. He checked the fault and found that the fuel pump seized and doesn't run anymore. There was no pressure coming out from the pump. I watched it. Convinced that it was the pump which was wrong, I replaced it with a new one only to find out that it still doesn't start. Can anybody help me troubleshoot the common cause for the trouble. I need your help because I'm 400 km. from the Audi dealer in Manila. I will appreciate your help in troubleshooting my A3.
Thanks in advancce.

depends... I have a TT which i love... at it only ran me about 16k... so youd have a lot left over... except the new TTs are more pricey and just as fun...

However, at the end of the day, i think a new S4 would be the best bang for your buck.. very good looking, handles like a champ, fast fast fast, and has more room and storage for passengers than say the TT..

So all in all, the S4 would be my pick of an audi...
