Hi. I tried to do a 'search' but didn't have much luck. I have an 02 1.8T with about 78k miles on it. I recently had to have the battery replaced and now I'm experiencing electrical issues. It started with the dome light and door open lights staying on after the doors were all closed. Then the windows stopped working. Sometimes everything would be fine, but the last few days the windows aren't working and the dome light remains on. My local mechanic suggested there was some sort of TSB out there regarding water getting into the wiring harness. The numbers he gave me were: Recall: Group 97; Number 02-01, Date: Oct 2, 2002. Subject: Door Electrical Components Malfunctioning. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is it a recall? Is it covered by Audi or should I expect to pay a large chunk of change? Thanks.

Replying to: niteswmer2 (Oct 01, 2008 2:39 pm) Does this sound like your symptoms? Group: 97 Number: 02-01 Date: Oct. 2, 2002 Subject: Door Electrical Components, Malfunctioning Model(s): A4 2002 Condition Electrical components operated via door control modules and/or switches malfunctioning such as window regulators, instrument cluster door ajar light, interior lights and door lights. Symptoms include: ^ Doors cannot be locked or unlocked by remote control. ^ Window regulators do not work. ^ Inside lights sporadically do not go out. ^ Display in cluster shows doors open when all doors are shut. ^ Door lights do not work. Vehicle may exhibit one or more of these symptoms at the same time. May be caused by water ingress into the wire harness contact housing at the A-pillar or B-pillar which leads to corrosion of individual terminals.

Replying to: niteswmer2 (Oct 01, 2008 3:06 pm) 1. Are they familiar with this corroded terminal business and have they done it before? (If so, they know right where to look) 2. Where ARE these corroded terminals? Accessible or buried somewhere. it would be great if you showed them the TSB and asked them what they know about it. If you are in the San Francisco area I can send you to excellent Audi people.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 01, 2008 3:08 pm) They asked if the car had been in deep water (we've had floods in the area) - my car hasn't, btw. So I guess they know something about it. But they didn't mention the TSB at all. I guess I need to prepare myself for an expensive repair.

I am new to this website and am seeking information on transmission problems on A4s. How do I go about getting info on here pertinent to this? We need our 3rd transmission in 4 1/2 years, it has never worked smoothly (and we even had it repaired the week after we purchased the car brand new). Of course, Audi America and our dealer do not wish to pay for this now that it is off warranty. Based upon what I'm reading on other sites on the internet, this appears to be a chronic issue. Why hasn't there ever been a recall? Or an attempted class action lawsuit?

My 2008 A4 v6 has been sluggish in the morning and recently the "check engine light" came on. The car has just under 15k miles and received standard maintenance service at 5k and 10k miles. Dealership tells me it's misfiring on 2 points and that it appears to be carbon build up. Dealership was asked by Audi to take pictures--pictures!--and forward to them. We only put high octane (91 or 93) tier one gas (Shell, Chevron, Texaco) in the car. Any thoughts from anyone? Why would Audi need pictures?
