Audi's suck...
Not really right?
It seems like every topic is about something that broke or is not working. I am on alot of forums and all audi forums are full to the brim with technical problems. Does anyone post things like " I love my Audi" or "check out this new upgrade." Seems like I should buy a vag com just to own my Audi. Are these cars reliable? I just bought a 2001 1.8T Avant and the alarm goes off after 20sec of locking the doors, the vanity lights will never go off after the car is started unless manually turned off. It seems like tons of electrical problems on theses cars. The car runs great and looks awesome but am I going to be dealing with problems every second? I want so badly to love my car but it makes me a little nervous ya mean!

Dude, every thread is about a problem because mostly we canīt solve everything by our own. Most of the ppl here likes DYI, so it is ok to talk about problems, ppl wants to solve them.
"I love my audi" / "my audi works great" is the regular thing. we all love them, or else we would sell it and buy something else.
As any "old" car, it will show some flaws. Some are well know by the community.
BTW, I love my Audi, but as any B5 it has some weird noises lol.

Think of your Audi as a supermodel, and all will be okay LOL.
I am always taking care of my car (my choice) and as a result it has yet to let me down [knock on wood] after owning it for just over 18 months and ~22k miles.

There's going to be plenty of maintenance and repairs to do, so yes, I would recommend buying VCDS(VAG-COM) and a Bentley repair manual.
The only thing I've found that really, really makes me mad about Audi are those stupid f&@king single use hose clamps that I always have to cut off before I install a new, screw type hose clamp.
When everything is working, the B5 is a beautiful car to drive and look at.

A lot of the upgrade talk is contained within peoples timelines or build threads.
I'm going to make a new thread about how much I love my car, just for you.

the only thing i have to say about audi is LOVE even with problems its a car that makes you fell in love with it, if you want a car to change oil and put gas only yull never know what is to truly love a car, find a problem, fix it and then watch it ride like a charm! im new in the audi world but have learn to work on them!
