A6 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles
Both catalytic converters failed at 78,000 miles. Called and wrote to Audi, wanting this covered under warranty; was told three different things regarding coverage (1. 'don't know, " 2. 7years and 70,000 miles, 3. 8 years and 80,000 miles.) was repeatedly rebuffed. Cost $4600 to fix. Audi 2000 A6. Wrote to vice president - Audi of America - axel meese - two months later response said no again and quoted some other warranty (3 years and 50,000 miles) in all my years of car owning, I have never had one catalytic converter fail, let alone two. I feel that this is a defective car, and think Audi should cover the failure of the catalytic converters.
