    I wasn't sure if I need to cross them over or just switch front to back?

      Usually, just rotate the tires from front to rear and vice-versa.

    Looking to buy this 07. Car dealer has car fax what should I look for?
    We are looking at this car...heard they are expensive to fix. 60,000 miles. What are the most things these cars break down from? And if a non mac can fix these cars? I can get the parts not from online?

      These cars tend to be expensive to maintain, expensive for parts. A carfax gives only so much information - try and learn just what kinds of things to inspect when buying any used car - check these websites; www.kbb.com, www.edmunds.com - they will also have reviews and ratings for many vehicles.

      The parts prices and availablity can easily be compared; check the many on-line parts sources; www.autopartswarehouse.com and www.rockauto.com - for examples

    I'm trying to lift my car with the included jack lift. I don't see any notch but I do see an arrow near the tires. Does the jack just go here? flush? or should there be some kind of notch? the jack has a grove on the top.

    I have a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro, 6 speed manual, 149,000 miles. Runs great and looks great. It is due for a timing belt change and needs tires, cost for all probably $1,600 - $1,800. I can afford to get a different car but it has been flawless and still looks ...

      Not replacing the timing belt would be costly! Keep the maintence up on it and it should serve you well.

    What can cause fuel delivery problem when adding fuel to tank?
    Car has 150,000. Had a shop look at and said they could not find any kinked lines. The nozzle constantly shut off and spits back. It takes about 10 min. to put in 3-4 gallons.

      The charcoal canister is saturated with gas, the tank fuel fumes couldn't vent into it and it will shut down the pump nozzle.

    My air conditioner blows hot air instead of cold.

      It is possible that the refrigerant could be low. Have an a/c technician check the both the high and low pressures. If it's low you may need refrigerant added. If the pressure is high you could have some type of blockage in the a/c system - such as a clogged or dirty a/c condensor (in front of the radiator).
