It depends which engine you have.
On V6's it is on the right hand side at the bottom rear of the engine.
You will need to remove the alternator and possibly the right hand engine mount to give yourself enough room to remove it.
Removal of the alternator requires the radiator support to be in the service position.

SOURCE: Oil for 2007 AUDI A4 2.0t Quatro

The best balance of price, quality, availability that I have found is Mobil1 synthetic - it's on Audi's approved oils list. With the 2.0T engine, you absolutely want to use synthetic (the Audi turbo fours are known for oil sludge issues), and you want to do a SeaFoam treatment every 15k miles or so - that combination will keep your engine in great running shape.

SOURCE: engine number location for 2002 audi a4

is it a 1.8 turbo or 2.8 V6 or 2.7 biturbo V6 ? on most models what you will be looking for is a 3 letter code like ATQ or APW and is normally on a sticker on the timing belt cover, it is also stamped into the engine on a ledge up high. if no luck there check the owners manual, around the 3rd page there will be a sticker that was put in the book during predelivery inspection this sticker is about 3 inches by 3 inches and filled with id codes for almost everything. If the pdi wasn't done right another copy of the same sticker will be under or next to the spare tire in the spare tire well.

SOURCE: Audi A4

Not sure if they've changed it but this is what i do for my 99 a4

First remove the screw in the handle pull, it should be next to where your fingers go.
Pull down on the black piece of plastic and remove the screw form the door
Then remove the screws on either end of the door, one near the door jam on top and one near the other side, same place.
Finally pull up then out and the door panel should come out

Hope that helps

SOURCE: where do i find the starter motor in my audi a4 w reg

this is info i pulled but not sure exactly what engine you have...here are a couple though
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION



Fig. After the negative battery cable is disconnected, remove the wire terminals from the starter solenoid



Fig. Remove the lower starter mounting bolts . . .



Fig. . . . followed by the upper bolt, then remove the starter from the transaxle housing



0900c152800c2ab1.jpg enlarge_icon.gifenlarge_tooltip.gif Fig. Lower starter bolt locations-1994 2.0L, 2.0L ABA



0900c152800c2ab2.jpg enlarge_icon.gifenlarge_tooltip.gif Fig. Remove the upper starter bolts



Fig. Mark the location and length of each starter bolt

Fig. When the solenoid is energized the starter drive is pushed out and meshes with the flywheel to crank the engine

  1. Note the radio security code, and then disconnect the battery ground cable.
  2. Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle with jackstands.
  3. If installed, remove the lower engine shield.
NOTE
The engine must be supported on 1990-97 Passat models as the starter mounting bolts also support the engine-to-transmission mounting surface. If necessary, label the small wires before disconnecting them.

On 1990-97 Passat models:

  1. To support the weight of the engine and transaxle, install the engine support Tool Nos. 10-222A and 10-222A/1, or use a floor jack (with a block of wood on the chock) to support the engine by the oil pan. Do NOT jack the car by the oil pan under any circumstances! The floor jack is ONLY to support the engine while the starter is being removed. This is necessary because the bolts that secure the starter to the transaxle are also used to secure the front engine mount to the transaxle.
  2. Disconnect the large cable, which is the positive battery cable, from the solenoid.
  3. If equipped, remove the bracket that secures the starter to the engine. On Audi A4 and 1998-00 Passat models:

Release the number 50 electrical connector from the starter.

  1. Then remove the nut for the large battery cable and remove the cable.
  2. Loosen then remove the clamp that secures the heat shield to the starter.
  3. Remove the fasteners securing the bracket at the front of the starter and remove the bracket.

Remove the starter mounting bolts, while supporting the weight of the starter.

  1. Pull the starter straight out from the transaxle. To install:
NOTE
On vehicles with a manual transaxle, there is a bushing where the starter shaft fits into the bell housing. If the shaft or bushing is worn or if the starter has been jamming, the bushing should be replaced. There is a special bushing removal tool available but a small inside bearing removal tool is usually sufficient.
Install the starter into the transaxle.

  1. Tighten the related starter motor fasteners as follows:
  2. Starter support bracket, M5 nut: 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm)
  3. Starter support bracket, M8: 16 ft. lbs. (22Nm)
  4. Battery cable to solenoid, M8 nut:10 ft. lbs. (13Nm)
  5. hydraulic hose support bracket, M8: 84 inch lbs. (10Nm)
  6. Starter mounting fasteners, M10: 44 ft. lbs. (60 Nm)
  7. Starter mounting fasteners, M12: 48 ft. lbs. (65 Nm)
  8. The balance of the installation is in reverse order of removal

Need to know how to replace the starter on the 1997 audi a8 quattro

Well Mich, first you need to elevate the car to get to the starter; remove the undercover to expose the motor. Then you need to remove some parts to get to the starter. After that, it's pretty straight forward. Good luck.

I think on top of the transmission, the one has a wire, and looks like a sensor. To remove, need a 19mm , open wrench or socket wrench.

97 audi a4 no power/battery fuse?

Sounds like either the battery leads are on the wrong way round, or the starter main cable is touching something and shorting to earth. Retrace your steps and check your connection locations.
Either that or its a dead short through the starter. Remove main cable from back of starter and tape up incase of short. then reconnect battery. If ok now then your looking at starter motor.
