| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | AFTER THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED, THE LEFT HAND LIGHT FLICKERED THEN WENT OUT. THE DISPLAY AREA GAVE ME A WARNING THAT THE HEADLIGHT BULB WAS OUT. IT HAPPENS EACH NIGHT AND IS REMEDIED BY DEACTIVATING THE HEADLIGHTS THEN TURNING THEM ON AGAIN. I HAD BOTH HEADLIGHTS CHANGED IN JUNE, BUT THE RIGHT HAND HEADLIGHT DOES THE SAME NOW. *TR |
| 1996 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY | I DETECTED A STONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE PASSENGER CABIN. I TOOK THE VEHICK IN TWO WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT A LEAK WAS FOUND IN THE FUEL LINE AT A CRIMP, SPILLING DOWN THE WHEEL WELL ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COST TO PERFROM THE REPAIR WOULD BE $950 AS THE ONLY WAY TO ADRESS THE PROBLEM WAAS TO REPLACE THE ENTILE FUEL LINE FROM FRONT TO BACK. I DECLINED THE APPROVE THE WORK AND PICKED UP THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET A SECOND OPINON. THE CUSE OF THE LEAK IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE AUDI TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.*AK |
