Faults:

Where do I start?

Coolant system bell housing cracked, seeping coolant, which led to water pump, thermostat and radiator failure; a $3500.00 repair bill. Also at the same time, the cam-belt was done.

CD changer packed up, $800.00 to replace with a new genuine Audi. I put an aftermarket system in for half that.

Sunroof switch broke, $400.00 to replace through Audi, got one on E-bay for $112.00 brand new.

Rocket cover gasket leaked, which seeped oil into the coil packs, which fouled up 2 coil packs; $1500.00 to replace.

General Comments:

I must say that even with the massive engine issues, I still love the car, because I'd rather be broken down in an Audi than seen driving a Hyundai or Kia.

Even after spending a lot on servicing and fixing it, it still puts a smile on my dial when I drive it.

The car has had a hard life, and yet it still performs beautifully. I was told not to get an automatic due to the gear boxes having troubles... in all honesty, it is the most reliable part in the car.

For a 8 year old car, it still drives and looks better than some of the rubbish that is being imported in. And the badge just oozes sophistication.

Faults:

Glovebox latch cable broke, so was unable to open the glovebox at all.

Air conditioning failed one day after purchase.

General Comments:

Very quick for a diesel, and the stepless transmission was just excellent. Very good motorway cruiser, giving 45mpg even at 80+mph with minimal noise.

Not very happy with things like the aircon crapping out at such a low mileage, though I believe this isn't unusual for an A4.

General Comments:

I have a little over 70,000 miles, and guess what, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT on again. This time replacement transmission control module cost $2,600. Power train warranty ends at 70,000, so the dealer and corporate office said sorry out of warranty. Every car manufacturer offers (AWA) after warranty assistance except Audi, who is supposed to be a luxury brand. Purchasing an Audi has been one of the worst decisions in my life.
