Overheating in traffic replaced water pump, gasket. Radiator , fan control module, thermostat, and hoses. Happens every summer!!!!! no fluid leakage. Could this be the same problem as the 2013 model recall.

At 33,000 miles car epc light was illuminated. Took car to independent service station and reading could not be attained for any trouble code. Within 2 weeks just started driving the car. Oil pressure light came on. Car died and would not start. Had car towed to service station. Was informed that the engine computer needed to be replaced. Once replaced they realized that the engine crankshaft has seized. Engine needed to be replaced (with only 34,000 miles on the care and regular maintenance). Called Audi dealership and was told that the car was too old and that they would not even bring the issue to the manufacturer. We had the engine replaced through local service station. Service station suggested that when they researched they found that this was a common issue on the A4 2. 0t. We realize that the car is 10 years old, but at 34,000 miles a cars engine should not need to be replaced. Audi should take responsibility for the engine issues.

Engine consumes oil.

Sensors (1) the sensor for rear light keeps coming on and off (2) stability sensor is on for no apparent reason (3) oil light is on despite having oil in the car (4) car eats oil (5) it is impossible to change the driver side right headlight bulb (6) mechanics and dealers overcharge for parts and service not only in the us but also in australia $500 for bulb, $300 for oil change, $200 per hour labor. This is more expensive than getting a head transplant.

2008 Audi A4 avant with the 2. 0 liter turbo motor/ engine code is bwt. Camshaft lobe and high pressure fuel premature worn out. Audi knew about this issue in 2010 about the premature wear on the camshaft lobe and high pressure fuel pump.

I too am having issues with my Audi A4 turbo I have to put oil in my vechile seems like every month or so. I've had the car for only 6 months and I have had 2 oil chages and about 10 quarts of oil in that time. My mechanic says with synthetic oil you should only need oil changes twice a year. I too keep getting told this is normal. . . This is not normal, there should be something done about this situtation. . . . This can not be good for my engine. I also went to have my ac looked at and found that this vechile also has eletrical issues when it comes to the ac this car is turning out to be not worth the money at all. I cant not believe Audi is selling this type of vechile I have always had a great experience with Audi in the past but this time I think I have had enough.

Accellerator pedal stuck at wide open throttle. Had to shut the ignition and pull over and restart the car and it went back to normal. Googled the net and found that many people encountered the same problem.

Problem: premature wear of the cam and cam follower resulting in p0087 errors. This causes the car to run very erratic, surging and bucking and a general loss of power. There is an Audi TSB (technical service bulletin) on this very issue for my 2005, 2006 and 2007. This is a very wide spread problem! my 2008 Audi should be covered. --- at around 60k miles the car started experiencing the dreaded premature wear of the cam lobe follower and the high pressure fuel pump lobe. The follower was replaced but the cam was not. The car was then taken to my Audi mechanic and I was told this is a widespread problem and that Audi had extended the warranty on the high pressure pump, cam follower and the cam to 120,000 miles and mine would be covered. When I took it to the Audi dealer they did everything that had a recall and told me to try it. The problem quickly returned and I had my mechanic remove the high pressure pump and we looked at the wear on the follower and cam. The cam as well as the follower were extremely worn. I do have pictures from then and now that the cam and follower have been replaced, I have the old parts as well. Next took it back to Audi dealership expecting to have this issue resolved and was told my VIN was outside the extended warranty program and was not covered. They then told me I needed a cam and follower and I was given an estimate. I would Audi to reimbruse me for the work I had performed.
