Apologies Paul, I got the wrong end of the stick. In that case I'd say no a full size spare won't fit. It's very unlikely to find a car that will fit a full sized spare in tthe wheel well Cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Paul, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 yes I believe you can get a space saver spare wheel of which I believe the size is T125/70/R19 and the tyre is usually Hankook. The a4 space saver is the same as fitted to the a5. i suspect that in the spare wheel well there will be a foam tray with the tyre inflation kit. It should be a case of removing the foam tray and fitting the wheel. If you look on eBay you'll find various a4 b9 space saver spare wheels for sale at various prices. cheers Steve

Sorry to hear of your turbo failure. My dad had exactly the same issue on his a3 8v with the same engine. I'd be checking eBay personally. In failing that you could get a reconditioned unit. The main advice I would give you is try and get genuine Audi if possible, either new, used or reconditioned. As some of the aftermarket turbos have known to fail outside of their 1 year warranties. Cheers Steve

I think there could be a chance. It certainly was the case on mine. And just like in your case it happened at lower speeds where there's naturally more strain on the power steering system. If it's not the pulley then it could be the pump. But I'd definitely look at the pulley first. Cheers Steve

It might be worth you getting the turbo checked. When my sister had a similar issue on her golf it transpired that sone if the blades within the turbo had broken and as such the fan within the turbo wasn't always spinning which was causing the lag/hesitation. In order to resolve the issue she had to have a new turbo fitted. Cheers Steve

You're welcome, glad I could help 🙂 cheers Steve

I appreciate my a6 is a lot older but when I had a similar issue it turned out to be the power steering pulley. Cheers Steve

You're welcome

Well there were some early Audi's at Audi's in the park last year. I believe there were 4 cars from the late 60-70s including 80s abd 100s. There were even older vehicles there which predated Audi as we currently know it (late 1960s onwards) abd these cars were from the 50s I believe. Cheers Steve

You're welcome :) i to hope that resolves the issue, please keep us posted on how you get on. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Anthony, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 Did you know it had the fault when you bought it? If not then I'd argue it's been missold. Is there any whining from the steering? whats the fluid level, is it low ect? cheers Steve

Thanks for that Steve 🙂 ill pin this post and feature it so it makes it easier to find 🙂 thanks again 🙂 cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Julian, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 id guess your Audi is one if the earliest survivors but there are a few NSU around in rhd from the late 60s. cheers Steve

Welcome to the forum Lee, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 nice colour for your a4 🙂 oh and we like all ages of Audi here, mine is from 2002. cheers Steve

Im wondering if the mad sensor has been fitted incorrectly with the new induction kit or not been put back at all. Might be worth getting a diagnostic check carried out. Cheers Steve

I've only just realised this show is on Easter Sunday! Which means unfortunately I won't be able to attend as I'll be having family over. However Trevor has the club sign so should be bringing it for you all 🙂

I'd look at second hand components of which eBay is your best bet 🙂 cheers Steve
