im not sure about those specific numbers but u can pm auditech79, rbrtech, or techbod and they should be very helpful. i've never seen a starter go bad on an A4. also u have to make the timing belt was done or make them do it before u sign the papers. i guess that's about it though

It seems like you are simplyoffended by not having my 100% approval rating on your decision to buy this car. By all means, buy that car then, if you feel like it won't give you any problems. I was just telling you 135 psi was on the low range. I'd personally try to find one with higher compression and all cylinders within close range (5%) of each other, and no electrical problems. If you were not unsure of purchasing that car, you wouldn't have asked. It could be a basket-case, or it could be a bargain. You know more about these cars then us, right?

curious, what do you mean with the timming belt? has it been done for the first time, it wasnt listed in the services you stated. because you should get it done before 100 grand. not a mile after. actualy quite a few before

What are the individual readings from each cylinder? Are they all~ 135 psi, or is that just about the average of all 4 cylinders? You do know they should also all be in close range of each other as well. Did you actually perform the compression test yourself?
I don't see how 120-150 psi is a healthy range for a 1.8T, whenthe Audi dealership service master techsaid that 180 psiis wherethey should be with 140 psion the extremely low side.Also don't you think maybe a 103 psi -185+ psirange isgetting a little toowideof a range for comfort? Why don't you call around a fewlocal Audi dealerships and ask them what you car should be at for 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles). Maybe they'll tell you your tirepressure is okas long as it's between 10 psi and50 psi.
Hope you take no offense by this Techbod.
Did Techbod also perform a complete over-the-internet diagnostic on your electrical dilemma?Or is that 10V battery output good to go by your standards too?
