Should I buy my Audi A4 during or after lease term? 8
Apr

I have 2007 Audi and I am 2 years into a 3 year lease. I am WAY over my allowed miles so I really have no choice but to buy it. Has anyone bought from Audi before? Is it better to buy during the lease term or negotiate after? Thanks!

    2011 Audi Q7 gets three new V6s, eight-speed transmission in Germany 8

    Along with blessing us with a revised TT for 2011, the Audi Q7 gets a few choice upgrades in its home market of Germany, including a few new engines and an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission.

    The upgraded Q7 doesn’t benefit from any new sheetmetal, though Audi has seen fit to put the S4′s supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI V6 to good use under the hood of its behemoth SUV. Available in two states of tune, the blown V6 puts out 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque in the base version, and the upgraded mill produces the same 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque as its sports sedan sibling.

    A new 3.0-liter TDI is also available for the 2011 model year, delivering 240 hp and a more-than-adequate 406 lb-ft of twist from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. Not only does the new diesel deliver respectable performance times (0-60 in 7.9 seconds) and above average fuel economy, but the weight of the oilburner has been reduced by 44 pounds.

    All revised, German-bound Q7s receive a new eight-speed automatic gearbox based on the outgoing six-speed cog-swapper, with higher ratios and Tiptronic actuation, along with standard Drive and Sport modes. There’s no word on whether this transmission is bound for the U.S. market in the near future, but we’d suspect Stateside Q7s will benefit from the new ‘box by the end of the year. Full details in the press release after the jump.

    Update: An Audi USA spokesman tells Autoblog that the 2011 Q7 V6 TDI will retain its 225 hp / 406 lb-ft rating and launch with the new eight-speed in September. The gasoline V6 TFSI will also be available here in both 272 and 333 hp flavors beginning in November 2010.

    Audi shows off revised 2011 TT with updated four-cylinder power, tweaked appearance 8
    Apr

    2011 Audi TT – Click above for high-res image gallery

    Audi’s half moon-shaped fashionista, the TT is getting a bit of a nip/tuck for 2011. Both the hardtop and roadster receive modestly refreshed exteriors and interiors, along with a new 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder model whose 211 horses gallop with an eye toward superior fuel economy (Audi claims fuel economy of nearly 36 miles-per-gallon on the combined European cycle). This is the same revamped four-banger that has been appearing in engine bays throughout the German automaker’s lineup, and while its horsepower increase is modest over the 2010 model (+11), the use of Audi’s Valvelift system helps the engine generate a big slug of torque – 258 pound-feet of the stuff – a healthy 51 lb-ft. more than its predecessor. Audi says that all-wheel drive equipped TT will hit 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, so performance hasn’t suffered, either. For the U.S. market, there’s still no sign of a manual gearbox, but we’ve professed our love for the company’s six-speed S Tronic dual-clutch in the past and expect it to once again be an astute partner here.

    We didn’t expect Audi to go crazy with the TT’s mid-cycle refresh and true to form, they’ve exercised due restraint. The 2011 receives bigger air inlets up front, a shinier gloss black grille finish, and, of course, Audi’s fast-becoming-compulsory LED daytime running lamps (as seen on the higher-performance TTS model). Inspect the car’s rounded rump and you’ll find a new flat black rear diffuser, (very) modestly retouched taillamps, and new exhaust outlets. New paint colors include Scuba Blue, Oolong Gray, Volcano Red and Dakota Gray.

    The interior has received the hand of refinement as well, with a trio of new cabin colors, leather that’s been specially treated to resist solar heat, and are a few new aluminum bits of trim.

    Audi has yet to release U.S. pricing information, but we’ll be sure to update you when it comes through. In the meantime, check out our high-res gallery below and the official press release after the jump.

    How do I connect the lights on my boat trailer to an Audi Q7? 7
    Apr

    I have a 2007 Audi Q7 with a factory installed towing package. I attached a converter to change the 7-pin electrical to a 4-pin flat connector for my boat trailer. When first connected yesterday, a light flashed on the dashboard, indicating a trailer was connected. The lighting worked fine. Today, the lights do not work, and there is no indicator on the dashboard. What could be wrong?

    How to Deal With an Oil Leak in Your Harley Davidson 7
    Apr

    There are some ways you can do to deal with the blow-by oil leak in the sportster of your Harley motor cycle. One of the blow-by solutions from the factory is the blow-by vents which are so far from the vacuum. This is crated by carburetor inlet. This condition leads the blow-by to puddle in the bottom of the Sportster air filter housing and then leak into the engine.

    One of the solutions you can do is to route the blow-by oil on the carburetor inlet. This is then made the blow-by oil suck into the carburetor of the Sportster. This will then lead the blow-by directly exit over the carburetor intake as what it should be.

    The next you can do is to see the line of the fuel. The blow-by oil leak may be also caused by the stiff fuel line so that it can not route well above the carburetor inlet of the Sportster. The blow-by oil can ultimately deteriorate the vacuum hose. As it happens, you have to replace the hose which is close to the molded tubes inside diameter.

    To replace it, you have route the hose sections through each of the blow-by tube. Then, simply pull it out from the air inlet opening. As those sections have been routed, connect the vacuum tee between them. Set the vacuum tea opening faces toward the inlet of the carburetor. Then, you can pull the vacuum hose from those sides until the tee properly settles inside the assembly of the air filter.

    The last thing you should do is to cut the excess vacuum hose flush along with the molded tubes on the assembly of the air filter. The length of the blow-by bolts which attach to the head is inch. Meanwhile, the molded tubes into which they fit are inch. Once the air filter assembly is reinstalled, the blow-by bolts push the vacuum hose to the molded tubes so that there will be inch of vacuum tube which is still in the molded tubes. You have to reroute the blow-by over the carburetor.

    What could I trade our 2000 Audi A4 Quattro for? 7
    Apr

    We LOVE our car BUT we have 2 children and we are toooo tight in the car. We need either a SUV or Wagon that has 3rd row or we may even consider (gulp) a Minivan but I would only be interested in a Quest or Odyssey. We would like to do an even swap with a newer vehicle. Any suggestions? How much do we ask for the Audi – it is in pretty nice shape? Should we go to a dealer? We’ve been burned on craigslist, so I would rather not go that route.
