Audi Tips: Common Problems Related To The Audi 4

7 July 2015 by Vicky Mills

The Audi 4 should perform well. But, just like any other vehicle models, these cars could have issues. The following guide will show you some of the most common problems related to the Audi 4.

Pay Close Attention to the Engine Oil

Yes, like any other car, you should do your best to keep up with your regular service. But the Audi 4 tends to consume gasoline quickly, which can have a negative effect on your engine oil.

You need to have your Audi care specialist change your engine oil more frequently or at least keep a close eye on it. The following are just some signs that you may need your oil changed:

Your engine oil looks black instead of its natural dark amber or honey color.
The engine might start to make loud noises as you drive because the engine oil is failing to lubricate the engine compartments.
Your engine light might turn on.
The level of the engine oil might drop dramatically. Check the dipstick, and make sure your oil is filled all the way to the indicator.
You might also see engine oil sludge. The sludge might start to clog up your engine system and there may be sludge in different areas in your engine like your spark plugs. You will feel power loss and general poor engine performance.

Have your Audi care specialist check your car to confirm your suspicions.

Other Possible Issues That You Should Anticipate

Vacuum leaks (you might hear a hissing sound from your engine, or you might just experience jerks as you drive)
Oxygen sensor failure (there may be acceleration issues like jerks or hesitation)
Catalytic converter problems (your engine might overheat, or your car might have a rotten-egg smell. You may even experience a loss of power going uphill)
Digital display might go out or fail
Torque converter failure (there may be overheating issues, slipping, high stall speeds, or dirty transmission fluid)
The ignition system might fail, which include the ignition coil, ignition wires, and spark plugs. This just might seem like your car is having trouble starting.

There are other issues related to your Audi that you can talk to a local repair technician, like Euroclassics Limited, about. But, hopefully this was able to shed some light on your car. As you can see, knowing a thing or two about your car can help you and your Audi specialist deal with your vehicle before issues even start.
