Here's my old jetta gli. I sold it a few years ago to some girl who is currently ruining it wish I would have kept it.

brahs what do you use to play music in your car from your Android phone?

I tried using a 3.5 to 3.5 mm cable, plugged it into the AUX but the sound quality is terrible. I think what I am looking for is a MDI adapter to plug into the center arm rest where it says 'media in'. You can buy it directly from VW but it is like 40 bucks?

Thinking about getting a used S4. 05-08. Anything I should look out for?

[chevy72blu]

Bought my wife a 13 Jetta SE 2.5 (candy white, tan interior) to replace the 03 Mk IV 2.slow. I have never been a VW fan but they have proven to be great little cars.


Helped restore a '74 ghia with my grandpa when I was about 14. No pics, but it looked identical

Something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-Volkswage...229#vi-content

I have the crap VW iPod adapter in my glove box where you can only use playlists pretty much - bought a cable similar to above but with iPod female connector and the quality is perfect through my Android.

Terrible. If I had the choice I would drive without insurance.

Was paying 3000 a year and it got reduced to 2300 this year. This was the cheapest I got quoted too with Desjardins.

[MillerDecaXC]

Sup bros, im not a huge audi/vw diehard fanboy but I do enjoy them.

-2001 audi a4 2.8l sport package, 201k miles and running strong
-1985 VW Golf, 104k miles, 2nd owner.

Ya eh, I was with Desjardins before I sold my car. Just under $6k/year. mk4 golf as well

[ClaudeGiroux]

edit: wtf brahs. I pay about $1600 a year for insurance. 21 here. pretty minimal coverage though with State Farm (US)

I take it that was full coverage? Mine is liability only.

Worth it. You don't get to control through the HU but I prefer controlling it all off my phone anyway.

Audi driver checking in. Currently have an A6 and love it, have had zero issues with it and am up to a little over 60,000 miles on it. Will post some pics in this thread later.

[b5lover]

yea full coverage. was an 07 mk4, don't think it was worth it as of now, seeing as mk4 parts aren't hard to come across.

[dzj]

Not much of an Audi/vw guy but I saw this for 3k, yes gallardo wheels included.








It had some electric issues with the tranny and rear bumper was messed up. I heard a8's can get costly to fix and it sold right up under me

[Engineer_Guy]

edit: wtf brahs. I pay about $1600 a year for insurance. 21 here. pretty minimal coverage though with State Farm (US)

I pay ~$50/mo for full coverage on my GTI through Geico.

what wheels are on your mk3? look like ariettas, both 15 spokes, but they don't look like 17"

[RainingBlood]

Why is Audi constantly rated as unreliable? Is it because Audi is technologically innovative, or just bad engineering with low quality parts?

[ClaudeGiroux]

^don't know

they should be on that Lexus time as far as reliability is concerned, but IDK if they are

[Azzurri]

2014 Audi S5 6MT checking in

Generally Audi's engineers focus more on innovation than long-term dependency of parts. For example Audi was one of the first car companies to implement a direct-injected engine with their FSI engine, but the long-term effect of the FSI engine (and any other with DI) is that you have carbon buildup in the intake manifolds which overtime hurt performance. Audis are great cars, but buying them second-hand can sometimes be a complete disaster!

here's a pic of a mk4 i drew for fun earlier today
