If you have documentation of bringing it in for problems that eventually were found to be the transmission, they would have no recourse but to pay for the new transmission. As I said, this is incredibly odd to have the transmission fail at 31,000 miles, and your car certainly is an anomaly to the standard quality of the brand. |

I own a 1997 A6 quattro with 115k miles. It's been sitting in my garage since last April and the battery has died. I can install the new battery but the radio will be in SAFE mode. I don't have the radio car with the code. Is there any way to reset the radio without going back to a dealer? There is no Audi dealer anywhere near Poughkeepsie. Last time I needed an Audi dealer I went to the one in Manhattan and they ripped me off big time. Thanks, Mike P.

I brought my car to the dealer because after counting down miles the SERVICE! indicator came on. This indicator is never correct but I wanted the message to go away. The dealer confirmed that I wasn't due for service for another 5K miles so he said that the indicator would be reset. After the "service" I made a couple of short trips and the SERVICE! indicator came back on. I called the service advisor and he said that since I was more than half-way to needing service, this is perfectly normal. In other words, my car will need service in 5 months (at the rate I drive) so I'm reminded of this practically every time I put the car into Drive. I called Audi customer service and the rep there concurred with this. I'll mark it on my calendar for December. Wait, the lease is up in December. UGH.

They do not support their customer and, worse yet, treat their dealer network not much better. They have "bob and weave", "ooooh I love a side step" , "not my problem" and "tell someone who cares" down to a science. They knowingly outfitted certain production of the 03 A6 4.2 Quattro with 16 inch wheels and tires (carry over from an A4 design) that did not have the ride capability, steering control and wear characteristics necessary to support the weight of that vehicle. They quietly switched to 17" in a running change that year and have denied that there was ever a problem. Result for consumer is constant rotation of tires every 3000 miles, redoing alignment every 10,000 and STILL have the tires "cup" and "rumble" about 8-10,000 miles and be worn out at 15,000. I will be dumping this PIG before warranty expires.
