RE: CAR SHAKES/JOLTS WHILE IDLE..HELP
When the battery is disconnected and you dont allow the TB to recalibrate this problem will show up; but will clear itself in a day or two.
Since your problem has been going on for a few days it could be a timing issue or a clogged fuel line. or maybe "a loose nut behind the wheel." -Jestnomen

Ok...latest news on this situation.
The car still shakes once in a while, now since I went and got a oil change from the same place ( MR. LUBE) with OEM OIL FILTER AND 5W40 Castrol Synthetic Oil ( Same thing I got the 1st time and then I noticed the car shaking) I am guessing there must be some sort of connection.
Could the skaking and jolthing be caused by the OIL they used? Did they use the wrong OIL? Could it be that they didnt put the OIL Filter in properly and thats why the car shakes/jolts?
Only once for like 3 seconds while I was reversing in my garage did the "OIL PRESSURE" warning light come on. After that I have never seen it come on again. Do you guys have any new ideas why the car shakes/jolts?
Anyway. I have an appointment with AUDI on Monday so they can fix the ABS problem I have, although the ABS light does NOT come on. The ABS systems comes on (starts) under light braking. Usually just city driving, since its winter I decided to go get that fixed. They told me that there was some sort of small leak that was causing it to come on during light braking. I will also tell them about my car shaking/jolting problem.

OH ...one last thing...HOW MUCH OIL SHOULD THEY PUT IN MY CAR (1999 AUDI A4 2.8 QUATTRO) AFTER THEY have drained it for an oil change.? (PLEASE ANSWER THIS ONE)
The dude at MR.LUBE put 6.5 LITERS. Is that tooo much? too little?

PMed you K69Camaroz28...
But yes, I did take it to AUDI and get it fixed. It was the "IGNITION COILS' , numbers 2 and 5 to be exact. They replaced them and reset them. Get your car VAGGED first and see if any codes that might resemble "IGNITION COILS" come up. If they do then you know to replace them. BTW, post your codes you get, if any, here and I am sure that Brrrman, Jestnomen and David_K will translate what those codes mean.
Hope that helps.
