hello, im new to this, im buying an 97 audi a4 tomorrow, well it has alot done, but in 1 and 2 gear it acts crazy like a boost leak or somehting, it studderds from like 3500-4500, idk whats going on but i still want it! well help me out!! THANKS!!!

obviously any problem like that is not worth buying

 

Has alot done? As in mods? If so dont buy it.

 

im usually against buying pre-modded cars bc you know theyve already had their beatings and im not interested in a car that has had its race wear and tear before me. as for a modded car that already seems to have problems? i say no way

 

beside the fact that modding your car is an enjoyable thing, and i like projects that dont give me trouble from the get go

 

well the motor is good my dad ran a test on it, and he has the papers for the new tranny he got put in along with the stange 3, well the car has 130 on it and has about 7 k in it, i think it has something to do with the chiped computer it has idk, well i think it would be a good buy because, it pulls hard before the studderding and then really hard after that, so tell me what u think!! thanks much!!

I think the guy should fix his car.

 

Exactly! if something is not right, walk away. Don't get stuck w/ anothers dead horse.

 

Dont do it, have patience, there are other A4's in the sea.

 

unless your really good with these cars and have some formal training on em, dont buy one that has problems like that, studdering can be one of a millon diffrent problems, and by saying the motor was tested, what do you mean by tested? Some people think they know alot about cars and rev up an engine and say that its good when there is really a bad underlying problem, so unless this was a mechanical test consisting of a leak down inspection, compression check,vacuum check, and fuel pressure and delivery check, stay away, if he is an ASE cert mechanic specializing in these vehicles and did those tests, yes the engine is healthy and has an underlying electrical problem causing a misfire condition.
