problem #3

Apr 242008

A4 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 87,000 miles
The coil pack on the vehicle was damaged (shaking upon acceleration). After researching the internet, I found that 2001, 2002 and beginning of 2003 Audi A4S has been recalled for this part. When I called Audi America, they said my VIN number was not included in this recall. The dealership replaced the coil pack at a cost of over $500.

problem #2

Nov 242006

A4 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 30,000 miles
Audi A4 2003, the clutch failed at 30,000 miles, but Audi refused to fix the problem until it was completely undrivable. I had to pay out of pocket because it was categorized as wear and tear, thus not covered by Audi's least. The electrical system and the fuel pump also failed and needed to be replaced. The jack broke while changing a flat tire and I was told that this had happened to other Audi owners, but still had to pay the damage to the plastic siding out of pocket.
