I was told it is not possible, they can only replace failed parts. My warranty is running out in 2 months. I have owned this car for 9 months now. Had it in the shop every second moth... ...

First of all a 10% error is totally unacceptable. I read in a previous post that the US regulations were accuracy to within 4%. I checked my A4 with 2 different GPS units on a straight road using cruise control. The results were that the speedo was consistently 7-8% high between 40 and 70 mph. Repeating this test on my Toyota Rav4 (2008) and Pontiac Grand Prix (2005) ... Read More...

I've had similar problems with my 2005 A-4...(towed twice in the last three months and three of the six coils replaced thus far). I have tried, to no avail, to have Audi replace the remaining 3 coils. It is my understanding from one of the Audi service reps that there is an ongoing issue with the coils and it tends to start after the 30000 mile servicing. I have a few ... Read More...

Problems with Audi A4 Ignition Coils

Has anyone been successful in going back to Audi (or their dealers) for compensation on failed ignition coils? I just purchased a 2005 A4 and within 3 months 3 of the coils failed. The car just passed 50K miles, so the parts and labor came out of my pocket. Read More...
