There are a few little things where the car could sue attention. First is the power steering hose. While on a road trip to Wyoming I had power steering leaking. I took it to a local mechanic who fabbed up a replacement for the leaky line since one could not be sourced locally. The car drives mine and power steering is fully functional but I would suggest replacing it with an oem part before any hard driving. Another minor thing is at the bottom center of the windshield is a tiny crack in the glass from rock thrown at me from a semi. Again barley even noticeable but probably worth having it sealed. The wheel speed sensor in the right front side is also broken. Because of this traction control is permanently off. I've never bother to change it because I prefer it that way but it should be an easy fix if you're into that. The last issue is a boost leak that sprang up after the turbo replacement. The boost leak triggering a p1297 code and between new car, new job and school I haven't had the time nor money to get it looked at. The car pulls really hard to about 10psi before falling on its face. That being said even with the leak this car is set up to be a blast in summer or winter. I've sunk thousands into this car with maintenance and upgrades and though it has a few issues its one step away from being supreme. I wish I had the space, money and time to finish myself. I'm trying to be as open as possible but as this is a private used car sale, and a modified one at that, it is an as-is sale with no warranty expressed or implied.The same goes for emissions testing. I don't have to deal with emissions where I live so I cannot testify in that regard. Though with the professional e85 conversion, including documentation I can provide, titling it shouldn't be any problem. Willing to ship but buyer must arrange and pay for shipping. Fully payment must be received before shipping. Has a clean and clear Colorado Title ready to be signed over. Thanks!

IIHS bestows 2015 Audi A3 with Top Safety Pick+ [w/video]

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

There's some good news for Audi today, as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has named the all-new A3 one of its Top Safety Pick+, the institute's highest award for safety.
While there are no shortage of cars that can handle the standard IIHS trial, the tough small overlap test needed to earn TSP+ has flummoxed more than a few vehicles from prestigious, safety minded manufacturers. In the A3's case, though, it handled the small-overlap tests well.
According to the IIHS, there wasn't much intrusion into the cabin from the impact, which simulates a 40-mile-per-hour impact on 25 percent of a car's front end. The crash test dummy was held in place, with just a low risk of injuries. You can view the crash test video below, as well as read a brief press release from the IIHS.

Audi Q7 to be first diesel plug-in from VW group

Sun, Dec 7 2014

Lending credence to prior reports, the next Audi Q7 will be available with a diesel-powered, plug-in-hybrid powertrain, Automotive News claims, after speaking to a source in the Volkswagen Group. Both the gas and diesel-powered Q7 will debut in 2015, with the diesel PHV to arrive after that. Unlike Europe's other plug-in diesel, the Volvo V60, Audi's Q7 will be sold on both sides of the Atlantic, the source told AN. You can see a few spy photos of the Q7 PHV above. Audi research and development boss Ulrich Hackenberg previously confirmed that diesel plug-ins would be arriving earlier this year, although it wasn't clear which models the ultra-efficient powertrains would be offered on, or which of those would be offered here in the US. Time to play the waiting game...

Audi and FAW to launch A6 E-Tron in China

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

Audi and its Chinese joint-venture partner FAW have announced that they'll be building a production version of the Audi A6 E-Tron Concept, shown at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show. Based on the China-only long-wheelbase A6, the plug-in-hybrid model is being targeted specifically at the People's Republic.
Audi is promising a 50-kilometer (31-mile) electric range for the fuel-sipping sedan, although there are precious few details beyond that. We do know, though, that this will be a Chinese-built vehicle, with assembly slated for the FAW-Volkswagen joint-venture factory in Changchun. We presume we'll find out more when the Beijing Motor Show kicks off a few weeks from today.
"We are the market leader in China's premium segment and will continue systematically with the application of efficiency technologies. Audi is thus supporting the Chinese government's targets for the reduction of fuel consumption," said Dr. Dietmar Voggenreiter, the president of Audi China.
