| I need help. My transmission needs replacement. I have am the original owner and have maintained the car, more so than anyone else I know. The car was wonderful for 5 1/2 years and the last six months have been hell. Since then, all four coils and plugs have been replaced, the coils, one by one going bad. I've had the rack and pinion replaced, the motor mount replaced and now the transmission. I now have read everything about the CVT problems with the early 2000 models and am scared to death. It is culpable to know that Audi has known of these problems for years and done nothing. I was also told at the dealer that they have been fighting the coil problems for four years. I do not know what kind of recourse I have nor do I understand what the dealer might be doing to try to "help" me. My contact is calling me back tomorrow after his district manager gets back to him on an email he sent him explaining my situation and seeing if they can help. What does that mean exactly? I called cust. svc this morning and they too indicated that there may be some kind of "help" but that I would have to take the car into the dealer as a first step. I have one more car payment on the car and absolutely love the car and everything up until the last six months. I appreciate your advice in advance. | |

Help! My son had to have the fuel pump replaced in his Audi A4. When he picked it up, as he drove down the street he realized something was wrong and returned to the mechanic. He left the intake exhaust off disconnected. The mechanic reconnected the hose. The next day when gas was added to the car, the check engine light came on. This car has gone back to the shop 5 times and the mechanic cannot figure out why the check engine light is coming on. The code is something about the Turbo. Can you help? Did the mechanic do something when he left the intake exhaust off? bbjames74

Hi everyone - my Audi is 5 years old. I put the convertable top down the other day and when I put it back up I noticed that the rear window was no long attached...leaving a space all the way around (between the fabric and the window). The Audi dealership just informed me that the space can not be glued or repaired and that I will need to purchase a whole new top. Cost? Over $4,000.00! Have you heard of this happening before? As much as I love my Audi, I think it's pretty shoddy craftsmanship if the top needs to be replaced after only 5 years... Would love to hear your suggestions, feedback.

Replying to: jackie1960 (Jun 03, 2009 2:15 pm) Here's one for $1495....so add that to $900 and that's sounds about right AUDI A4 TOP I'm not recommending these people, just using them as an example. Average age of a convertible top is about 10 years, so yeah, it's premature, but convertible tops lead a hard life, so..... |
