Mar 2021 38440 mi $400	Late model Audis have a known issue where the pressure sensor for the brake booster goes bad. It will trigger a warning (yellow, low priority) that there is an issue with the brake servo, and you can continue driving. When pulling codes it will indicate that the vacuum pressure was too low. If this error is stored 20 times, the ABS module memory is filled up. The message on the IP will change to "ABS Fault. Stop Immediately". The car remains fully functional and it is safe to drive though. The only fix is to replace the ABS module entirely. This can only be done at the dealer or a shop with access to Audi servers in order to code the new module and lift the component protection. The cause is the pressure sensor on the brake booster, which costs about $20...

That sensor was bad, the car thought it needed to compensate the headlight angle, and boom, I'm out $160 for an unneeded headlight adjustment, This all clicked to together for me when the work order for the ride height sensor included a re-aiming of the headlights.

Audi A4 in Utah, United States Dec 2017 - Jan 2018
Jan 2018 115000 mi	car had oil consumption problem when we purchased it, previous owner did not disclose and it was 2k miles out of warranty. Audi would not extend or honor warranty outside of 80k. Seperate issue- car lost power going up hill. Mechanic said it was the timing chain (supposed to be lifetime). He said they are repairing at least one timing chain a week because they "stretch out" and then fail. When they fail you have to replace the entire engine. Parts and labor quoted by several shops 10k-12k depending on if purchase a used or new engine. We are going to walk away from the car. It was a pleasure to drive, beautiful, and we absolutely loved it. But we have a hard time with a company and/or product that has major defects and consumers are not told about it or have to pay for major design flaws. The car was a ticking time bomb.

Had to pull up carpets and squeezed at least 2 gallons of water out of foam under floors, and kept in the sunlight every day for a week or so to dry it all out. Convertible top failed. Previous repair included resetting brushes on electric motor attached to hydraulic pump, but that did not work this time. Bought a new electric top pump motor from Audi dealership and self-installed. Worked immediately. Took about 3 hours total to remove all trim to get at motor, take out motor, replace, and put trim back in place.

I called for a flatbed to get it to my mechanic but due to a snowstorm the truck took 4 hours to arrive and when I started the car to move it out of my driveway the problem was gone, no engine rattle. I still had it taken to the garage but aside from resetting the CEL they could not find any problem. It had been quite cold (-20C) so they think that had something to do with it. I always run synthetic oil so it shouldn't have been an oil flow problem. They don't think it was actually low oil pressure as the CEL was unrelated but the engine noise to me seemed to point to it.

Audi A4 in British Columbia, Canada May 2016 - May 2019
Jul 2018 95480 mi C $350	Replaced front ROTORs and PADs. Pads had 6mm material left, but brakes pulsated. Rotors were worn unevenly. Suspect that car dealer where vehicle was purchased 2 years ago replaced pads only without replacing the rotors (which wear out together in every VW/Audi built in the last couple decades, and need to be replaced together)
Aug 2018 99200 mi C $390	Replaced passenger side XENON HID BULB of type D1S. Bought for $99.99 @ Canadian Tire. Because low-beam was burnt out. Original said "Philips". Replacement came in a Sylvania box, but lamp is OSRAM. Is so identical to Philips that I'm sure that both came out of the same factory. The window regulator was shot, as indicated by "crunchy sounds" when operating the power window. rnThe regulator for the Audi includes the entire window frame, mechanism, stainless-steel cables, and plastic pulleys. rnThe parts are pricey (CAD$341 from Audi -- there are no cheap Chinese knock-offs) but labour is very low, because its all one, pre-assembled unit. rnKelly and team at Sun Creek did it for around $400 plus tax. rnAt an Audi dealership it would have been double that price.

Jun 2017 157000 mi US $240	Replace fuel filter and fuel pump. Fuel filter had never been changed, after changing a CEL came on for too low of duty cycle on fuel pump. It was only because of the filter change, but researched it more and found out how to read the duty cycle in VAGCOM and it was actually reading around 76% at idle. Deciding to preventatively change the pump although it appeared to work fine. New fuel pump is around 50%. I believe the pump had premature wear due to the fuel filter never being changed.

Apr 2017 122760 mi C $250	Front end developed noise over the winter. Worst noise was from driver's side front bearing. Required replacement but took a long time due to seized and corroded fasteners and components.

Feb 2011 86000 mi US $2150	Oil leaks from camshaft covers and sump. Gaskets replaced. Leaking coolant line, the subject of a TSB is leaking. Repair requires expensive intake manifold removal to get at source of leak so I've decided to live with the problem. We've had unusually heavy rain here since December and the Xenon headlights fog up very heavily when it rains. It's always been a problem but the dealer tells me it's normal even though the light output is badly reduced. Audi won't fix

May 2011 89300 mi	Significant coolant leak from cross pipe located under intake manifold. Will live with problem for time being.

May 2009 53000 mi US $250	Check engine light came on, code was for new transmission, warranty co. asked to clear code and see if check engine light returned before replacing transmission. Check engine light came back on at 25 miles, the problem was not a new transmission, but a sensor, dealer ordered the part and I drove my car home to wait for it. The part came in, the dealer repaired it, the extended warranty paid 100%, less the $250 deductable.

Dec 2013 89000 mi	Continuation of intermittent electrical problem plaguing car since March. Ran fault codes, found ect sensor @ 48c degrees, replaced, Installed new sensor in water neck flange at radiator, problem in instrument cluster, no repair attempted. AC head control unit had internal short circuit, shorting out the comfort system. Instrument cluster was having catastrophic communication problems. Faulty AC control head unit and instrument cluster were replaced and re-coded. "Econ" button was stuck on...no heat, no air-cond. just outside air coming through the vent. system. New instrument cluster needed to be re-programmed. I am taking the car back to the original shop to take care of the ongoing check engine light and the abs system randomly coming on, I anticipate the repair being done this month (Dec.)
Jan 2014 82000 mi	Trip was to work on check engine light, abs brake light and traction light from previous trip, ec sensor was changed for the third time, to no avail, as soon as warning lights are cleared, they reappear. Also, crimped wires from the trunk lid wiring harness are giving false brake light out warning lights....The Audi wiring harness is roughly $4200 for the part alone, so it will either be spliced to fix, or I will learn to live with it if I keep the car.
Feb 2014 89000 mi	Check engine light still on, went to dealer discussed my options with the service tech, chose not to go through another round of diagnostic tests, traded the car in on a 2012 VW Eos. Crimped wires from the trunk lid wiring harness.
