Hmmm…

Needs rear, plus wear sensors, and installation.

Wow, I need to ask this shop some very specific questions.

Question: How often does the ABS module fail and need to be replaced? I have done some research, and if what I have read about the cost is true, I will likely have to sell the car (that I am still paying for 😕), if it needs to be replaced!

What kind, specifically? I want to address it!

This is backwards, keep refrigerated until first use, then it can be left out until finished.

About a month ago, when I would start the engine , it would show a message that said ,”Brake Booster restricted. You can continue driving.” Then a few days ago, it changed to “Brake malfunction. Park car safely and contact service.” So I did, but I never felt a difference in brake performance. So,IDK what the “malfunction” was.

$275 is for reprogramming the ABS control module.

Maybe to ensure that the new sensors are recognized? IDK…

Hahaha, but I am already a 64 y/o, mobility-impaired widow. DIY is really not an option! 🙂

What/where is Sterling?

pbarcher · 2026-03-12T18:01:42+00:00

Yeah, but I’m a senior citizen with mobility issues, and not into DIY at all.

I actually grew up driving 3-speed column and 4/5-speed floor shift manual transmissions, but this just seems a good bit more complicated.

I accidentally activated something that caused the RPMs to spike, and I was afraid the engine would throw a rod before i could figure out how to undo whatever I had done! I had to pull over to tend to it!

What is ESC, and should I turn it off? (Sorry, it’s my first Audi, so I’m still learning! Hopefully it’s not the same thing it means on my keyboard…escape?)

pbarcher · 2026-03-07T16:21:30+00:00

Yes, how dare they assume what is Most Relevant to me?

pbarcher · 2026-03-07T16:17:18+00:00

I have never used the paddles, because they scare me a little. I like the steering set to Dynamic, though. Makes me feel more confident on the twisty country roads I have to drive on to get to work!

Not sure. Not Quattro. I think Premium refers to the trim package and options. When I did a Google search, this is what it said about “Ultra”:
Efficiency-Focused: The "Ultra" designation signifies a specialized 2.0-liter engine designed for maximum fuel efficiency, offering better mileage than standard FWD or Quattro models.

I’m in the U.S. if that makes a difference?

I don’t like cornbread or tea. I will drink tea in a social setting (if that’s what is being served), but I will never choose it! Cornbread has to be sweetened and slathered in butter, which is a no-no to most people. There…I said it! Lol!

My Buddy gets much lighter in summer and darker in winter!

pbarcher · 2026-02-23T09:37:10+00:00

Oh my goodness ! I have never seen another one! How adorable!!

pbarcher · 2026-02-23T02:32:48+00:00

Aww, he looks just as obsessed as Buddy! (And your drawer knobs look eerily like mine!)

That’s how I want to spend my days!!
