Audi USA has a know mechanical default with cam shaft and cam followers. As per my mechanic any damage to the cam shaft could be dangerous. Acknowledging this defect 6 years after production Audi extended the warranties for this parts to 10 years or 120,000 miles so that they are replaced at first indications of trouble rather then actual mechanical breakage which could be harmful. Audi only notified original owners of the vehicle on record. Since I had bought the are used I was not notified by Audi or my local dealership of the known issues with these parts and extended warranties on them. Without knowing about the warranty I had service done on the cam follower twice costing hundreds of dollars. Now the problem is the cam shaft which is going to cost about $4500 to repair. Even though my car has only 91000 miles (less than the 120000 miles required by Audi) it is over the 10 year period. I am somewhat dismayed that this was not escalated to be a safety recall by Audi so that all owners could have been notified and the part replaced in a timely fashion. I am in a quandary - pay $4500 in repairs which I cannot afford or risk driving with a part that could potentially have a mechanical breakdown that could cause an accident. I think Audi has been disingenuous 1. Instead of issuing a recall they disguise it as an extended warranty. 2. They issue the warranty in stealth mode 6 years after manufacturer - no public release or widespread communication 3. They fail to notify owners like myself about 6 pending know issues some of which are critical. 4. When the customer contact them they are failing to honor their responsibility to fix it manufacturer should be held accountable for releasing an unsafe automotive part and then when a clear manufacturing defect is established not issuing a recall and failing to honor warranty claims on technicality.

Air bag warning light is on. This is my daily driver so very concerned. Also this vehicle uses an unusually high amount of oil. I have to add oil weekly to the car. It has been doing this for a long time. I just was informed that I could report this problem.

Hi. I have had same issue on two different 2. 0t fsi engines. Carbon build up on the intake valves which caused damage to one of the intake valves, thus engine head needing rebuilding. First car was 2006 vw golf gti and now I just had same issue with 2006 Audi A4 2. 0 t . Dealer quoted over $5,500, got it fixed at local shop for $2,700. This is common problem with their engines. . . .

Whilst driving on the interstate in a downpour esp and epc lights lit up and the car went into limp mode, disabling the majority of engine power. This has happened prior only in wet rainy conditions.

On Wednesday, April 16th at approximately 5:30 p. M. It was determined by an independent ase certified auto-center in milford, ohio that the engine had good oil pressure however Audi stated that there was engine damage. The cam shaft did show wear and would need to be replaced in order to correct the p codes p2293 and p0089 on the hpfp. I then returned that information back to Audi dealership – Audi connection in montgomery, ohio where I spoke with the service manager explaining that they did not see any signs of low oil pressure issues and requested them to honor the internalcampaign on the worn cam shaft/cam follower issue. He then refused to honor my appeal and stated that it did have internal damage due to lackof oil pressure showing no evidence only to refuse to discuss this matter any further with me returning back to his office. Then Audi connection did relent weeks later, after stating earlier that they would not perform the work, offering to perform the repairs at a later timeline; a timeline that I could not afford to be without a vehicle and paying on a rental. This particular vehicle type; Audi A4 t2. 0 quattro 2006 year, make, and model has a history of oil sludge issues and Audiusa has had class action lawsuits on such events-below is one similar to mine. . . "a settlement notice for the vw and Audi oil sludge class action lawsuit will be mailed and published in USA today on or before December 29, 2010. The final approval hearing is scheduled for March 11, 2011. " since then, while the independent ase certified auto-center in milford, ohio did later discover unrepairable engine damage due to oil sludge issues-known issues to Audiusa. I have paid out of pocket over $9,000 on repairs alone that Audi knew about, but failed to help in any way. . . Another big business wins again over the common person. I believe that there is more to this issue than we know.

My 2006 Audi A4 just died on the road the day after I did the 95k services. . Couldn't start up the car after many attempts and finally when I could, it was very loud and shaky. . Got some smells from the front also but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I sent it back to the dealer right away and going through some diagnosis, we need to replace the engine because the crankshaft inside the engine's got broken sleeves. Prior to this, there were recalls on my car, my service light was on for a while and it was linked to the recall, they replaced the breather, but did not have to replace the turbo pipe. . When my car died on the road, I was lucky that just turning out from dunkin donuts for an very early morning coffee (5am), because it was so early, there weren't many cars, otherwise there would very likely be a crash.

The vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly loses power while merging onto the interstate. Power loss generally lasts for approximately one minute. Power loss is continually experienced while attempting pass other vehicles. On occasions, the vehicle goes into limp-mode, making it difficult to maintain highway speed.
