POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I GUESS YOU WOULD CALL IT HESITATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR WE LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN THAT WAS VERY FLAT WITH NO HILLS. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON MOSTLY BACK ROADS AT APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 30 MPH. AFTER A FEW MONTHS WE MOVED AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FASTER, NOW THE PROBLEM WAS BECOMING VERY NOTICEABLE. AS YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR HESITATES AND YOU HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENTS AND STILL THE PROBLEM WAS THERE. NEXT I MET WITH AN AUDI TECH REP, WHO DROVE THE CAR AND SAID THAT WAS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST. AFTER MORE COMPLAINING THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION MODULE, THIS STILL DID NOT FIX. NOW I HAVE MOVED TO AN AREA THAT IS HILLY, AND WHEN YOU STOP AT A RED LIGHT ON A HILL THE CAR DRIFTS BACK WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR HAS GONE TO A NEW DEALER FOR ANOTHER MODULE AND MORE ADJUSTMENTS AND IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT OTHER AUDI A4 OWNERS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAVE. AUDI SHOULD HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BE FOR SOMEONE GETS HURT. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A SAFE, WELL BUILT, LONG LASTING CAR, I GUESS I WAS WRONG. WITH ALL OF THE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR, I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUDI. I ONLY HOPE THAT THE OTHER AUDI A4 OWNERS WILL TAKE THE TIME TO PASS ON THEIR PROBLEMS WITH THIS DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER OF MY 2012 AUDI A4 AVANT QUATTRO, A STRANGE NOISE BEGAN FROM THE FRONT AREA OF THE ENGINE. THE NOISE HAPPENS AT THE FIRST STARTUP OF THE ENGINE REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES WHEN THE ENGINE IDLES DOWN THE NOISE STOPS. DIFFERENT AUDI TECHNICIANS AT TWO DEALERSHIPS HAVE DIAGNOSED THE NOISE AS 1) CAM TENSIONERS, 2) A BAD BEARING INSIDE THE CAM CASE, 3) SECONDARY BLOWER MOTOR AND, 4) LASH IN THE VVT SYSTEM. NONE OF THE TECHNICIANS HAVE PUT A WRENCH ON ANY OF THE NAMED COMPONENTS BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE MANAGERS, AUDI USA WILL NOT AUTHORIZE REPAIRS. ACCORDING TO AUDI USA, THE STRANGE NOISE IS A NORMAL FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY THE NOISE WAS NOT APPARENT FOR THE FIRST APPROXIMATE 1000 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR
