| This car broke down on the highway yesterday when my temp shot up to red hot and my temp/collant alarm flashed manicaly for me to pull my car over??? HISTORY: I have had my 02' Allroad for just under 2 years (bought at expired lease time with 48k and now I have 88k). Last year my suspension air compressor malfunctioned and I paid to replace (2 G's). I had to have a new transmission put in 2 months ago (not AUDI's fault) when a non-certified mechanic changed my oil and accidentally drained my trans fluid instead and decided not to tell me (7 G's). My battery has died twice, new. My Bose Symphony CD changer now toggles between ERROR (will not work) and fully functional every other day or so. My interior lights blink on and off at random times. I service my car at Byers Imports in Columbus Ohio and last week I did an oil and brake pad/rotor replace (550$) and was told my car was in tip top shape...no more worries sir. Right? Well yesterday my car randomly and without warning experienced a critical collant failure and is now back at the dealer for another unexpected operation of unknow proportion ($$$)? I am back in my rental car again. My credit card is maxed and this car keeps kicking me in my ass. Is AUDI a good car manufacturer and do they stand behind their product? How can I get AUDI to acknowledge my woes and pitfalls and to give me some guarantee that I didnt buy a certified piece of shit that is going to rob me of every dime I have and prevent me from sending my daughter to college....oh and I cant even play a CD reliably to help take my mind off of this nightmare. HELP if you can?? Thanks | |

| The other day when I started my 2002 Audi Allroad and began to drive the car, it seemed like it didn't have much power. Then I realized there were 4 warning lights on the dash. I also realized the transmisson inidicator on the dash wasn't on letting me know if I was in drive, park, etc. I also realized the car felt like it was taking off in 3rd gear and wasn't shifting at all. I tried the manual tiptronic and couldn't shift the gears, couldn't down shift or up shift. Anybody have an idea of the what problem can be. A friend suggested it's electrical and perhaps disconnect and then reconnect the battery???????????// | |

| The lights for my adjustable suspension come on and go out here and there. I have tried to raise and lower the suspension but it doesn't move. There is an odd noise when I push the up or down buttons that sounds like moaning. The dealer wants to charge me $2,000 to fix it stating it is the self leveling control unit. I called 3 audi parts stores and they don't know of that part. They all tell me there are 4 seperate leveling units for each wheel and a main control relay. The main relay is $ 700 and I don't want to buy it and find out it was something else. Anyone have similar problems ? How did you fix it ? | |

| I have the same problem with my 01. I took it to a mechanic friend who tried 2 different Emergency / Hazard button relays and it still made the noise. He didn't want to mess with it and told me to take it to a dealership. The dealership said it was a faulty turn signal stalk and it needed to be replaced. They want to charge me almost $ 800. I bought a new turn signal stalk and will have my friend install it. Has anyone else had this problem ? How did you fix it ? | |

The warning display shows that the tailgate is open when it is securely shut. The central locking does not work on the tailgate and the red light in the lid and trunk light do not work when open. I assume there is a sensor/switch which is mal functioning-its happened before but sorts itself out by opening and slamming shut the tailgate. This time no joy! Does anyone know where the sensor/switch is located as I can't see any around the rim of the tailgate or under the stainless plate where the catch is. Or indeed what the problem might be. Also the LED alarm light doesn't flash when the car is locked (but the trunk isn't) Any comments would be appreciated. The Audi dealers in UK charge $190 an hour!!!

Replying to: angus5 (Nov 10, 2008 11:05 am) I have a 2005 Avant and this tailgate problem started yesterday. Like you I've looked around for sensors etc, but have found nothing. The only thing different is the car was washed on the friday, so maybe something got wet that shouldn't have? |
