***Not currently running, needs new timing belt tensioner***
I have loved my Audi for the last 4 years but it is time to say goodbye. Over the years it has been a ton of fun to drive until a few weeks ago when it did not start one morning. The mechanic replaced the engine speed sensor first and then found the reason why it won't start... a bad timing belt tensioner. The timing belt was replaced about 60 k miles ago and did not break, but without enough pressure from the tensioner, the timing belt can't work properly and the engine won't start. Because this happened in the driveway with the vehicle stopped instead of on the freeway, and because the timing belt isn't broken, the mechanic said there should be no damage to the engine valves etc. This mechanic has 30 years experience and specializes in Audi repair so he is convinced that the timing belt is the problem, but since I am not a mechanic myself, I can not guarantee that repairing the timing belt will make it start. All I know is it was running well when I pulled into the driveway afer work one day, then wouldn't start the next morning. The estimated repair for the timing belt is about $1000 so I decided to sell it without the repair. This car is still worth a lot. It has a clean title, which I have in hand. If you were to buy this car for $1500 and spend $1000 repairing it, you would still be spending only $2500 for luxury sports sedan with a list price of $71000 and an NADA retail book value of $4100.
This would be a great parts car if you already own an A8 or if you're mechanically inclined, you could make some money parting the car out. The aluminum body panels are currently selling on ebay for $399-499, doors $199, and any other Audi part is worth about twice as much as other brands.
There are a lot of things to love about the A8. The 4.2 L V8 engine gives you 300 HP while giving great gas mileage (I average 19 mpg in town and 23 mpg on the highway). It gives you an amazing smooth, quiet ride when you want it and takes the curves beautifully in the canyons. You'll never have a problem getting around town in the snow or up to the ski slopes with the Audi all wheel drive. I love the sound system and everyone in the family loves the heated leather seats in front and back. It has the darkest legal tint on the front and rear windows. This car has the cold weather package, the warm weather package (a solar panel in the sunroof powers a fan that circulates fresh air into the car while it is parked), HID headlights, and 17 inch alloy wheels. The best part about this car? It has been cared for and maintained throughout its lifetime. It was in perfect condition when I bought it and I have always kept it clean and properly maintained. It has never been owned by a smoker. You'll be amazed at the condition of this 15 year old car.
Recent repairs and maintenance includes the following:
Battery replaced one month ago.

Completely rebuilt transmission 2 years ago at 178,000 miles, a $3500 repair that will last the lifetime of the car.
Tune up with new spark plugs and air filter 1 year ago.
New front brakes at 194,000 miles. Completely rebuilt transmission 2 years ago at 178,000 miles, a $3500 repair that will last the lifetime of the car.
New fuel pump, timing belt, water pump 3 years ago at 162,000 miles.
Here are the things I know that are not perfect. Most critical is that it needs a timing belt replacement, won't start because of this. Sunroof and cruise control not working, never had it evaluated. The 6-disc CD changer in the trunk has never worked for me, never had it evaluated (I use my MP3 player or phone connected through the tape deck). Tires are in fair condition, need to be replaced within about 6 months. Has a slow oil leak which requires me to add a quart every 2 months. The front bumper caught on a curb while backing out of a parking spot and pulled off, breaking off the headlight washers and causing a break in the plastic on the driver's side of the front bumper (see photos). Remainder of the body panels are in great condition with no dents. Everything else works great. Red LED lights in the display are perfect with no missing pixels.

2014 Audi RS7 [w/video]
Wed, 17 Jul 2013Stunning Sportback Gets The Performance To Match
Saying the 2014 Audi RS7 Sportback is not as good as the not-for-North-America Audi RS6 Avant we recently tested is a bit like saying one more strip of crispy bacon would make our Waffle House All-Star Special breakfast even more special. The RS7 goes to ten while the RS6 goes to eleven, maybe, but they both rock our world. The RS7 is meant for the far wider buying audience worldwide, not just for western European family bombing runs, as with the RS6 Avant.
But, hey, this RS7 simply hurtles down the road in a singularly sexy way. And if you really want this bodystyle - and who could blame you? - the RS6 Avant doesn't really even matter anyway. After a full day on perfect dry and warm Swabian two-lanes driving this Audi very hard, we barely thought about it at all.
2015 Audi A3 Sedan priced from $29,900* [w/video]
Fri, 25 Oct 2013One year after the all-new Audi A3 bowed in Europe, the US finally will get the 2015 A3 sedan in 2014, and the German automaker announced yesterday that it's priced from $29,900 (*not including destination, and we've reached out to Audi asking for the price of delivery). A bit later in 2014, the A3 Cabriolet will be released along with the S3 sedan. The A3 Sportback will be a 2015 model, though it will only be offered as a gasoline-electric hybrid. Prices weren't given for those models and, sadly, the three-door hatch isn't slated for US consumption.
The A3 sedan will be offered with three engine choices, all of them featuring direct-injection, turbocharging and four cylinders: a 1.8-liter TFSI, 2.0-liter TFSI and 2.0-liter TDI - that last one's a diesel. If you count the S3 sedan, that's another engine in the lineup - a 296-horsepower version of the 2.0 TFSI.
As we were told at the 2014 A3's "unofficial" world debut in New York City earlier this year, Audi says US customers won't get the option of a six-speed manual transmission, as the Europeans do. All engines will be mated exclusively to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Audi Q3 recalled for wanting to stay dry
Thu, Apr 23 2015Volkswagen of America has announced a recall of the 2015 Audi Q3 because in one instance the car might not stop what it's doing even when you turn it off. If you shut down the car while the sunroof is closing, the sunroof could keep on closing. That possibility contravenes federal standards concerning roof panel systems and affects up to 3,646 examples of the Q3 manufactured between April 4, 2014 and November 5, 2014. Customers are asked to bring their Q3s to their Audi dealers, where the sunroof control module will be updated free of charge. You'll find a bit more information in the bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below.
