This car is for parts only, it does not start, the title is void, the owner has died (see below for details).
I purchased this vehicle from a friend about 2 years ago. He picked it up from a neighbor of his in July of 2010 and never titled the car while he attempted to fix it. Story is the car ran when it was parked and would not start again. New crank sensor was installed, no luck, several other things checked, couldn't find the issue. I found out about it and having a love of older Audi's, I always love a challenge, especially when you can pick one up cheap enough to usually turn around and fix with a bit of prudence. Well, I had a kid, have a demanding job and have narrowed down the issue but not able to solve it and the car needs to go. I installed a new cam position sensor and flywheel tooth sensor because the car is not getting spark or fuel pulses. I was getting spark but that went away during a diag procedure, go figure. I've also tried another ECM (comes with original and spare unit), with no luck. I can read and perform diags on the ecm's and all the available modules in the car but can't get it to fire the injectors. I do get voltage to the fuel system but it's not liking what it sees I guess. I'm thinking either the crank position that was installed was not put in right or is wrong/bad, or the cams are out of time enough. I've seen several cases where the cams slip on this motor. I don't have the tool to set the timing and I just can't get the time and don't want to put any more money into the car. Now comes the other major issue; the title. The title is NOT Transferable. I have the title, it is a duplicate, signed by the original owner, over to the previous owner (who never titled it) and handed it over to me. I never noticed or gave though to it that he used white out on the title.....I just looked at the title briefly and he just didn't know any better. I thought the title was just signed over (Maryland title, you only need to sign it over, no notary required) and I would just have to process it. I did some checking and followed up with my buddy and come to find out, the original owner died! We're unable to find anyone that has power of attorney or any other way to straighten this out easily through the Maryland Motor Vehicles Administration either. You can not process a title with any trace of white out on it and I even tried ever so carefully to remove the whiteout tape with no luck. This car is for parts only, I will turn over the title that I have with a bill of sale. It does have some paint issues, dent on the hood, scratches, flaking, etc....the interior is not the best or worst. The windows were left cracked in the end of a not so weather tight garage and resulted in the bottom front seats getting ruined. The upper seat backs of the front and all of the rear seats are in good shape, no tears there. Power features all work, memory too. Stereo is not working, has Bose system with 6 disc remote changer (might be related to the starting issue, seen weirder things on an Audi/VW!). Has the rear facing third row seat. Tires and wheels are in good shape, lots of tread, some cracking from sitting. I have all the shrouds, belts, belly pans, and pieces that were taken off while diagnosing the car as well. I can load it and tow it on my trailer for $0.50/mile within reason. I would just part out the car and probably double my money but I don't have the time. If it doesn't sell, it's going to the scrap yard, I'm not selling individual parts off it right now, so please don't ask. |

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
Audi Sport Quattro Concept makes video debut
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Audi has stayed quiet about its Sport Quattro Concept since the 700-horsepower, tangerine rocket debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show - a followup to Quattro Concept shown at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. Now, Audi has broken the plug-in hybrid out to give thanks to its Facebook fans, which now number over 100,000 strong (103,123 as of this writing).
As impressive as that number is, it does seem a bit strange that Audi USA's Facebook page has netted 7.3 million likes, 73 times what Audi's global page has received. Of course, we're not complaining about seeing the Sport Quattro Concept in action, and neither should you. Take a look below for the entire video.
VW may make Bentley a subsidiary of Audi
Sun, Oct 25 2020FRANKFURT — Volkswagen plans to make British luxury carmaker Bentley a subsidiary of its Audi division as it seeks economies of scale among its top-end brands, German trade publication Automobilwoche reported. Bentley, for now overseen by the head of VW's Porsche business, Oliver Blume, will from next year be part of Audi, where VW group Chief Executive Herbert Diess believes it has more potential, Automobilwoche cited company sources as saying. Synergies could include using Audi technology for a new Bentley SUV, it added. Volkswagen, which declined to comment on the report, is reviewing the future of its high-performance brands Lamborghini, Bugatti and Ducati motorcycles as part of broader quest for more economies of scale as it shifts to mass producing electric cars. Sources familiar with the matter told Reuters this month that Volkswagen was working on plans to prepare Lamborghini for a stock market listing. Related Video: Audi Bentley Volkswagen
