I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up.

A3 courtesy car whilst my A4 is at the dealers
Steve Q replied to Steve Rogers's topic in Audi A4 (B9) Forum
Could well be. Plus the fact the A4 is bigger will keep it more planted. -

Mist definitely. And make sure the gearbox has been serviced on time.

Glad you got sorted 🙂

I'd recommend a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flag up. If you've bought it from a dealer then they have to fix it foc in the first 30 days from sale as you're still entitled to a full refund within that time.

Aftermarket exhaust? If so, might be worth looking at powerflow exhausts. My brother and friend have oth used them and been happy with the product

Get it back to the supplying dealer for them to sort. It should be free of charge if you live in the UK as under consumer you have 30 days for a full refund.

Keep us posted on how you get on -
Keep us posted on the results of the parts tests.

That I'm not sure. If you go over 70mph it should raise automatically if it has that functionality. But as you can manually control it via a switch then it's worth considering the switch to be at fault. Similar to how headlight switches causing light issues when they fail if that makes sense? As I say it's just an educated guess.
-
I'll admit batteries cause electrical gremlins when they start to fail but usually very intermittent ones. As I say could it be the switch that controls the spoiler? Or the sensor that controls it automatically raising/lowering
-
Thank you for your input 🙂 it's such a tough decision as I want longevity, and ease of repair which Is why I think either a simpler engine or more modern engine. The problem I'm finding is any advice on similar builds.

Make sure the Cambelt and water pump have been changed and the auto gearbox has been serviced regularly. Check service history and check MOT history on DVLA site. Make sure all electronic items work such as auto handbrake, AC and mmi. If looking at diesels the biggest bills come when needing to replace the dpf, egr or turbo.

I'd suspect eBay is your best bet including international sellers
-
Now that's a good question. I'd budget at least £160 for diagnostic worst case scenario. I'd it's mmi might be worth sourcing a second hand one that can then be coded to your car.
-
No probs buddy. Hope you're doing ok. As I say I'm still unsure what option to take. I do think the 2.5tdi engines days are numbered for parts availability hence why I'm considering other options.

Could it be an issue with the high pressure fuel pump?
