problem #1

May 222014

S5 4.2L V8

  • Manual transmission
  • 95,120 miles

I am shocked and amazed that my car which I purchased used and that I am still making payments on has been relegated to the junk yard with less than a 100,000 miles on it. The dealership has stated the manifold came apart, screws fell into the engine destroying the valves, and left the car with no compression. I have been informed that the only fix for the car at this point is to replaced the entire engine. The engine alone is $13,000.00 and the total repair would cost $17,000. Obviously this is outrageous.

Furthermore, no one has been able to explain with the manifold came apart. When I asked the dealership they said it would cost me $1700 in labor for them to completely tear apart the engine to try to make that determination. Of course, I am not spending $1700 on an unpaid for, inoperable vehicle simply to try to determine why it is a piece of junk. AUDI buyers beware. WORST CAR EVER!!
