Hi Audi 2001 A6 atq 2.8L quattro. Can you investigate the material used on the coolant and windshield wiper reservoirs as I had them crack twice. Also, I brought my car in asked that all recall work be done, I want to be assured that the sensor warranty work was done on the engine coolant temp sensor, oil leaks in upper engine, 3 way catalyst dtc codes sensor as I am getting a check engine light and have already spent over $900 to repair this. Can I get the vacuum hose and tire information as well. I am concerned there are maintenance items which are on your list that my dealer has not performed that I have requested.

The consumer was going about 50 mph when she was involved in an accident. Vehicle a pulled in front of vehicle B and stopped short, forcing vehicle B to rear end vehicle a. in the process, the air bags failed to deploy. Owner contacted the manufacturer and was told that the vehicle was not hit at the right angle to activate the air bags. The emergency lights flashed intermittently and the next day the vehicle would not start, the power unit beneath the floor board was soaking wet and had shorted out, the console under the gear shift was so hot that it could not be touched, there was an oil leak.
