Default Just bought an 03 A4 1.8t.....nervous

Hi,

I just picked up an 03 Audi A4, with 39,000 for 15,900. Shes beautiful, pretty much in perfect shape, black, sport suspension. I am a bit nervouse about the car, maybe some more expierenced Audi drivers can calm my nerves a bit.

1. For some reason second gear seems to be a bit rough shifting into the gear, does anyone know what causes this, or is this a common problem?

2.Car seems to whine out a bit, maybe I just need to get used to driving this, it seems as if you do not have the gas pedal far enough down the turbo is not on, yet the RPM's are still high. Does anyone else expierence this.

Besides this, the car drives great, hugs the road nice, and seems to have pretty good pep. Maybe I am just freaking out a bit becuase it is the first car I have ever purchased. If anyone else knows some common problems I should be on the look out for that would be helpful. Thanks for taking a minute to read and answer my questions.

Pat

check ur tranny fluid. u should chip it. trust me u will not regret it. also post in the a4 section to get more answers. as for the turbo, that's sorta how it is. it's a pretty weak turbo so it's not gonna give a huge effect, well it will as soon as u chip it. and u maybe freaking out a bit lol but don't wry, get used to it and u'll see how things work. it's a beautiful ride though. congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum
