FS: A4 B5 1.8T APR stainless steel exhaust

Sadly, my 2000 A4 B5 1.8T is going to the boneyard after many years and miles of loyal service. I have an APR exhaust system (from the exhaust manifold back) which I would like to sell which is still installed on the car.



This exhaust retails for a little over $1k from APR. Since it is stainless steel it is still in great condition.



The boneyard offered to give me $300 extra with the exhaust in place but I was hoping to do a little better so just make me an offer. Buyer is responsible for removing the exhaust. I have a compressor that you can use but you have to provide your own tools.



Car is located in Redding, CT.



Need the car gone within two weeks so please don't delay if you are interested.



Also have a Forge intercooler installed that can go so feel free to make an offer on that as well.



I'm not interested in parting out the car.



Please PM me with any questions or you are interested in making an offer. Thanks!




Audi Q3 Camping Tent is der neue Aztek

Click the image to open in full size.



The annual Wörthersee festival is much more than a land of ridiculous one-off concepts for fans of the Volkswagen Group to ogle over. Brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and SEAT actually showoff some real stuff, including accessories for existing vehicles.



While we don't normally cover this (are you really interested in new floormat designs for a Skoda Rapid?), one item on this year's list caught our eye. It's for the Audi Q3, the compact crossover from the Quattro people, and well, it's something we've seen before.



Yes, that's a tent. Much like the Pontiac Aztek before it, Audi debuted a tent kit for the Q3. Now, it's not exactly like the detestable Pontiac. This tent can easily be attached and separated from the car, and it's even rated for wind speeds of up to 43 miles per hour (but not while driving, we'd guess). According to Audi, the inflatable tent can be erected in a mere seven minutes (unlike most tents, which require five hours, seven people and a degree in mechanical engineering).



Right now, the tent is just a concept. We want to know what you think, though. Is this a good idea? Should Audi have learned from Pontiac's example? Have your say in Comments.Continue reading Audi Q3 Camping Tent is der neue Aztek

TCC stuck off code, 0741 Any help please?!

I have a 2000 A6 4.2 V8, it has close to 186,000 miles. I've been getting this code more and more frequently. It used to be every 50 miles, now it's every 10 or so. I've changed the tranny fluids and filter less then 5,000 miles ago. All I get now is when it shifts at 2.5 rpm instead of 2.1, can anyone tell me what is might be the problem?



Also, now when idling it will fluctuate only 100 rpm when cold.



I took it in and they said it's most likely the Clutch Solenoid but they're not sure. And it's so difficult to find a rebuilt or new solenoid for the year and model, any ideas?



Guys please, I really would like some help before it blows and I have to scrap the car.

P0332 Knock Sensor A4

Hello Fellow Audi Owners,

I just bought a 2005.5 Audi for my son (I am not sure if it is an 2005 or 2005.5) The guy told me it was a 2005.5 but the title says 2005.



I am getting a P0332 code, Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Bank 2. PepBoys did the diagnosis. I want to replace it myself. Is there a picture or diagram of where it's located? PepBoys wants $281.00 to do it.



Also is there a way to tell if it is a 2005.5 and when ordering parts do you say 2005 or 2005.5? LOL
