    Hi there, I am searching for tires for my 2007 A4 3.2 awd. I live in California (no weather to speak of), but in case I'm out in the rain, something that would handle well would be perfect. Noise and handling are at the top of my wish list. There's so many choices and they all claim to be the best. Any suggestions from other Audi lovers? Thx

    I have a 02 3.0 A4 and had same issue. mine has a small plastic piece in the tank that is the sensor. Their is also a small removable screen. It is possible to push the screen a bit too much so that it pushes the sensor down. Just pulling the screen out, wiggling the sensor and placing the screen back gently back resolved my issue. All the best.
