The contact stated owns a 2003 Audi A4. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, there was a high-pitched noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the fuel pump may have been inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic to inspect the failure where it was found that the fuel pump needed to be replaced.

There was a loud noise coming from the rear area of my vehicle. When I got in my vehicle I noticed that there was a high pitched noise coming from the back seat area. When I took it to my mechanic he said that the fuel pump was going and it would need to be replaced. The car ran ok and the noise went away when the weather was warmer but has recently returned with the cooler weather. I looked online and saw a technical bulletin/recall for my make and model. When I dug deeper into the associated documents I found my VIN number matched the numbers in the documents. Audi said they had no records of this (although they were on Audi letterhead) and said I could take it to the dealer but would have to pay for the diagnostic. This does not match what is written in the recall notice.

The contact owns a 2003 Audi A4. The contact stated that the vehicle fuel pump failed. There were no warning signs and no lights illuminated on the instrument panel. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 57,000.

This my second Audi I own, I already witnessed few know issues with the 2003 A4 model, which has the pirrelli tires as poor qulaity, also the fuel pump which is a factory defect ( no recall from Audi), plus lately the gas indicator which has to do with fuel pump. My car was hold for 3 weeks to be serviced and Audi did not even cover the tab of my rental during this time, my experience is Audi cutomer relations should learn how to take of their customers, because the service sucks.

I was driving my 2003 Audi A4 (3. 0 ) on a highway at 60 mph. Time - 11:30 pm on sat. ,March 13. There was a sudden power failure: engine shut down and the headlights and power seering went out. I managed to get the car off the road and onto the shoulder. The car was towed to the dealer - palisades Audi in rockland county, NY. According to the service dept at palisades Audi, the cause of this disasterous failure was a defective fuel pump. I feel lucky to be alive after what had happened with my car on the night of 3/13/04.
