Replying to: paulg1946 (Oct 28, 2008 1:30 pm) I wonder why a company that positions itself in the luxury category cannot make cars that are a little more reliable? These are problems with parts that have been around for a long time. Buy AUDI only with warranty... you can take mine... still have 2 months

Thank god, I know people in the industry. I have a friend who has a speed shop, hooked my car up to the computer and it indicated coils 2 and 4 are bad. I love it when a car can tell you what's wrong. The coil replacement is easy...pop off and pop back in. The coils cost about $40.00 each. So its not that bad. I was worried that it may be something more serious. Its not that bad. Audi makes wonderful cars. As with all cars, you need to try to get to know your car, and be able to attempt to do simple repairs on it. Now, I know that this will be a problem in about 20,000 miles again, but is no big deal. My car takes care of me and I will take care of it.

| My '06 A4 2.0T, Q just got a new igintion coil today. The car only has 18K miles, I think this beats all of the above. This happened 3 days after I got my early 25K service and 15 miles later I started the car and it started to shake violently and then the check engine light started flashing and stayed on permanently. It took my dealer all day to find the problem although the computer said there was a problem in cylinder 4 right away. Good thing its a lease, this thing is going back as soon as the lease is over. And I don't think I will be getting another Audi soon. This was my 2nd one. Love the cars, too many problems. Although, I must say service has been very good, but it gets annoying to visit the dealer every other month. | |

Replying to: sdsun (Nov 06, 2008 11:35 am) I already had 1 ignition coil go a year ago. Is this probably another? If it is, my dad is a mechanic and wants to fix this himself instead of me paying an arm and a leg to have audi do it. You make it sound easy to complete yourself... Can you message me or email me the directions on how you did yours? |

Replying to: AudiA404 (Dec 02, 2008 7:10 am) Sorry to hear about your coil problem. I would be more than happy to assist you. I have a great mechanic who works on Audi Porsche and VW. Don't go to the dealer. they are idiots. The coils are easy to fix. They pop in and out. So easy I could do it. Much easier than changing a tire. Get back to me and we can figure out how to connect.

I was coming back home to FL yesterday from NC. On I 95, all of a sudden my car started shaking... spent the night in georgia, next day went to Advanced Auto Parts, they did a free diagnostic computer check, and i had a Misfire cylinder, first checkd if it was the spark plug, it was good.. than checkd the ignition coil... and that was the problem... bought a new one for 37$, popped the old one out put the new one in, done. problem solved... at first i was worried if it was something more serious, but then i thot its most likely one of cylinders are out becuase the car can still drive but it shakes and its hard.... finally home and the cars running better than ever.. easy fix. |

Replying to: wuzup (Oct 30, 2008 10:12 am) My passenger window regulator went bad -- So I brought it in to have it serviced. My warranty had JUST expired a day prior, but they were nice enough to extend it to cover the repair, as well as a 35k service. They fixed the window -- but whatever bonehead they had do the repair, forgot to re-attach the door latch so I could no longer open the door from the inside. After the holidays, as I was about to bring the car in again -- My engine suddenly won't turn-over. I had it towed, and was informed that the Ignition Coil #4 shorted and melted the connector. They replaced the coil and repaired the wire. The parts were $97, but the labor was over $500 -- Due to the fact that they had to run a system diagnosis on the car, and bypass my aftermarket stereo. I pitched a bitch and they knocked some $$ of the labor. But here's the kicker -- I get back into my car and the passenger door STILL won't open! Unreal. |

Replying to: HassanA4 (Feb 03, 2009 6:24 am) You should get your car hooked up to a computer to see what the real problem is. Depending on the error code, it may not be an ignition coil at all. |
