Default Just looking for advice and knowledge about my 2002 A4 1.8t

This past october I purchased a used 2002 audi A4 1.8t. There isn't anything I can really say bad about it yet. It's everything I expected when purchasing under the audi name. Like I was saying my car is a 2002 A4 1.8t quattro with the sports package, which to my knowing is the leather sport bucket seats and different suspension. I want to know more about my car. I want to know everything I can so I show responsibility and appreciation for my car to the utmost. I purchased my car under the pre owned audi program at cherry hill audi in cherry hill new jersey. My car is now reading a little over 50k. It is under my knowledge that the 50k maintences were done when I picked my car up at 47k. Should I have already gotten my oil changed and done other maintances? Also does anyone know anymore about the pre owned audi program? Are the maintances like oil change, or etc... still free of charge from audi under their certification program? or am I just being dumb about it? Like I was saying I'm looking for all the knowledge I can gain about my car. Help me out. And for those of you who come on here and hate... **** you.

Default You are confusing the sport package on Audis with BMWs...

BMWs sport package includes leather seats. Audis sport package is a lower suspension, front sway bar, and 17" wheels.

You should check with your dealership regarding the 50k service. AFAIK, when you hit 50k miles if you haven't done the 50k service you are SOL. But the 50k appears to be just an oil change the major service is at 40k and 60k.

Check here for more details about what is actually in each service interval:

<A HREF="http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tech/audi/audi.2002.maintenance.sched.pdf">http://www.bentleypublishers.com/tech/audi/audi.2002.maintenance.sched.pdf</A>

Certified pre-owned just means the car has a 100k/7yr warranty. Oil changes are only covered for the first 50k/4 yrs. You have to pay for all service after that (other than warranty work.)

Default OT: Did you have any problems with the connectors behind the radio while installing the IceLink...

The pins on my kit kept comming out the back of the red connector and they are sending me a new one.

Default Yeah, I think I have the same problem. But I want to try a few more things before

I call dension again. I think I can get to fix it on my own.

Default I will probably try to shove an object in to bent the metal clips

a bit more. Like a microscrewdriver or maybe a few paper clips. Its really annoying because the contact isn't that great and its causing a lot of static on the line. It sounds worse than a tape deck iPod install.

I used the same unit on a regular headunit and I didn't get the same line noise. I think its specific to my NAV+ unit.
