problem #1

Feb 072007

A3 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles
Engine coolant line flange failure. Causes engine coolant to drain from vehicle.the dealer indicates that this is common on the 2.0 engines. Part unavailable in the us (on back order). The car was parked, luckily. Could have been a major expense if on the highway. Drained within several hours while parked. If this is an issue, why isn't Audi replacing this with a metal flange instead of a plastic one?
