EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2002 AUDI A4 3.0 QUATTRO SEDAN HAS HAD PULSATING/FLICKERING HEADLIGHTS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IF NOT A YEAR OR TWO. CENTRAL ELECTRONIC MODULE WAS REPLACED HOWEVER THE PULSATING HEADLIGHTS CONTINUED. THEREAFTER, AUDI INDICATED "LEFT DIPPING HEADLIGHT" WHICH OCCURRED WHEN THE LEFT HEADLIGHT DIED. PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. FURTHERMORE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARGUMENTS THAT SUPPORT THE NOTION THAT AUDI/ AUDI OF AMERICA HAS HAD A DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE IN TERMS OF THIS ONGOING PROBLEM YET HAVE FAILED TO ADEQUATELY SOLVE IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE I BOUGHT MY AUDI, I HAVE HAD TO PUT OIL IN IT MANY TIMES, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR A TURBO. I THINK THAT IS CRAZY, AND EVEN AN AUDI SERVICE MAN TOLD ME NOT ALL OF THE TURBOS DO THAT. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR SEEMING TO LOSE POWER AND JERK ABOUT TWICE A MONTH WHEN I AM USUALLY AROUND 70 MPH. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF FOR 1 SECOND, THEN IT ACTS FINE. THIS IS VERY STARTLING WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR
