I have a 2002 Audi A6, that is not running, for sale. I haven't had the car diagnosed, but I think the problem is the fuel pump. Car turns over, and every now and then sounds like there is a little combustion happening, but not enough to start. I am giving no guarantee that the problem is the fuel pump, this is just a guess. The car was running fine, then all of the sudden it wouldn't start and has been sitting in my driveway ever since. The rest of the bad is as follows. The transmission has the notorious flashing PRNDS that is common to this CVT transmission. The car drove fine, but you couldn't use the sport shift feature, and had very little power in reverse. There are many shops that you can send the TCM to, and they will fix the board and send it back to you (approx. $240 including shipping on ebay), but you need to be able to pull the TCM, which means you need to pull the transmission housing (if you buy the service for the TCM rebuild, they will send you instructions on how to pull the TCM). Not difficult if you know your way around these cars, but I just never had the time. There is also a small tear in one of the CV boots. I have a brand new set of CV joints at my house, and if you are handy, this is a very easy replacement. The car has a few very minor hail dings (less then 10) and one small dent in the drivers side fender and the center console cupholder is broken (should be about $20 from Audi). The windshield was cracked when someone tried to replace the rearview mirror, and will need to be replaced ($275 if you have safelite come to you and replace it).
Now for the good. This car was fully loaded from the factory. It came with the Bose stereo system with the 6 disc in dash CD player, which sounds amazing still. It has the leather heated seats, which are in great condition. It has the power moonroof and the A/C blew ice cold when the car was running. The car has the Xenon HID Projector lights from the factory. I just replaced the front 2 tires, and the full size spare also has a good tire on it, but the rear tires should be replaced soon. All the brakes have been done within the last 2 years. This car was very fun to drive, and I hate to sell it, but I work 2 jobs and have a family, and just don't have the time to fix it. You will need to arrange for a tow, or come with a trailer. If you want to take the time to part it out, it should be very lucritive. The engine with similiar miles sells for over $2,000 and the Transmission can sell for over $1500. The headlights sell for around $500-$600 for the set. I see the leather seats sell for $600-$800 regularly, and each door can sell for at least $200. Stereo usually goes anywhere from $200-$400 and each of the little plastic trim pieces inside sell for $20-$300.

Audi reveals revised RS5 DTM for 2014

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

There existed an era in German touring car racing between when the DTM series was revived in 2000 and when BMW rejoined in 2012. During that twelve-season span, the wins were pretty evenly divided between Audi and Mercedes-Benz, the only two manufacturers who took part. Audi won six drivers' titles in that time and Mercedes won six (although Benz won considerably more constructors' titles).
Now that BMW is back in the race, though, it's an entirely different game. BMW has won the lion's share of the races in the past two seasons, taking both titles in 2012 and the constructors' title last season. The winning driver last season, though, was driving the RS5, making Audi the only one that really stands a chance of putting up a fight against BMW. It undoubtedly hopes to extend that challenge in the coming season, and this is the car with which it aims to do so.
Taking on the Mercedes-AMG C-Class Coupe DTM and the new BMW M4 DTM will be the revised RS5 DTM you see here. Bearing a stronger resemblance to the road-going RS5 you can buy, Audi's new DTM challenger benefits from a revised aero package with more streamlined side mirrors, closed rear wheel arches and reprofiled side sills. The V8 engine carries over (much as it did from the previous A4 DTM and A5 DTM) with 456 horsepower driving the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.

300-HP 2013 Audi S3 Sportback unwrapped

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Not content to let Volkswagen have all of the fun with its GTI and Golf R, Audi is rebooting its five-door S3 Sportback with rather monstrous power. Headed for an official unveil at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the new S3 rolls out with a 300-horsepower, 280-pound-feet of torque turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI engine under the hood. The four-cylinder powerplant is strong enough to shove the Sportback to 62 miles per hour in just 5.0 seconds when connected to the optional S-Tronic gearbox, or 5.5 seconds with the traditional manual transmission. Top speed is said to be an electronically governed 155 mph. Almost as impressive as those performance figures are the fuel economy ratings: the S- S3 is said to average 34 miles per gallon.
All S3 Sportback models offer Quattro all-wheel drive, ride on a sport-tuned suspension tuned to a lower ride height (about one inch) versus the standard Audi A3. 18-inch wheels with 225-section tires are standard equipment, and 13.39-inch front brakes should offer serious stopping ability.
Audi has done a lot of work shedding pounds from this latest MQB-architecture S3, as well. The car has a curb weight of roughly 3,186 pounds, or some 154 pounds less than the outgoing model. 11 of those pounds were cut via weight-saving measures in the 2.0-liter engine.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part three

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and has an associates degree in dropping f-bombs. For Part One, click here. Part Two is here. Really hoped I'd be able to grab an hour or two of sleep before the sun rose over Le Mans. Dark dark dark, couldn't figure out what was going on. Commentators struggled at times as well. But I couldn't do it. Endurance racing is just too exciting. Grabs my attention with both fists. Screams, "watch these men DRIVE!" A neighbor invited me over for drinks. Told him, "Can't do it, gotta watch Le Mans!" Maybe not exactly. I'll admit, at times my attention wandered. I did a load of laundry. Ate some snacks. Half listened to the commentary. Threw a hump at my wife. I learned that Patrick Long, driving #88, is big brother to Kevin "Spanky" Long. Spanky's a bit of a legend in the skate world. Always weird how top notch talent can run in families like that. Kind of surprised I've never heard that before. Worked for a skate mag for a years, met Spanky a handful of times. Someone must've told me that he has an older brother who drives race cars. Dash cams at night are scary. High powered headlights in the P1s reach almost 300 meters. Cars outrun that distance easy. Seems like they're just steering into the black and hoping for the best. But that can't be the case. People'd be dropping dead let and right. Very amused by how the guys in GT are like, "Dude, stop flashing your fucking lights before you pass." But the LMP's are all, "Suck a dick! I do what I want." Top three stayed neck and neck nearly all night long. As the sun gets ready to creep back over the horizon the top three are separated by only eleven and a half seconds. Toyota 5 and 6, Porsche 2. Audi 8 is two laps behind Porsche, beleaguered 7 is dealing with constant trouble eleven laps from the front. GTE Pro sees Ferrari 82 in first, Ford 68 and 69 right behind. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect. Fours cars retired so far. I'm beginning to appreciate the endurance aspect a little more fully. Only really considered the drivers at first. The mental and physical stress driving these cars at these speeds at length would inflict. But keeping the damn things running is the real deal. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect.
