Why cant I get the emissions cleaner on my 98 a4 quattro

 

find out what is wrong with it and get it fixed ushally audi's don't fail they don't go on the rollers because they are AWD they just to a 2 speed idle test

 

HUH? that's kind of a vague question. What do you mean? Changed spart plugs? O2 sensors?

 

i know there is some stuff we have up here it is in a small blue bos i think it is called Guarentied to pass something like that

 

ok dumb question. i dont know anything about cars ok. all I know is that my bfriend took it to get served and he said they dont do emissions on audis. So my first instinc was to ask u guys the audi gurus. Now next question. Automatic start? Will it damage anything like engine life battery life etc... Someone told me that theres a chip that needs to be installed in an extra key. If u can please explain.

 

Are you wanting to install this to warm up your car in the winter? Audi recommends you do not warm up your car at all. You are suppose to only do it for 10 seconds or so then drive the car under 3-4k rmps until the coolant temperature comes up to 12 o clock.

 

thats a very interestig thing to know. Why cant I warm the car for my 3 month old son in the winter. I thought u werent supposed to drive any car unless u let it warm up. does it say it in the manual. that just sounds amazing.

 

yes it does say that in the manual also as for the emmisions take it to the dealer Audi's do need emmision tests they just don't go on the rollers

 

Bahh! Warming up cars is a carry over from Carburated vehicals of yesteryear. There's no need on our cars, in fact it harder on our engines.

 

I was told another reason for warming up the car is to avoid busting a gasket before the oil warms up. I was told that if the oil/engine is cold, then there would be more pressure. I'm trying to run this through in my head now and it doesn't make sense that there would be more pressure just because the oil is cold.....

huh.

What was the reason for warming up the car with a carburator? Just curious.
