| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM | I AM WRITING ABOUT MY 2004 A6 AVANT, WHICH HAS 78,000 MILES. AT A RECENT OIL SERVICE AT AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. EXHAUST WAS LEAKING FROM BOTH SIDES, I WAS TOLD. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY AUDI DEALER, WHERE THEY CHECKED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE MECHANIC WHO EXAMINED THE CAR CONCURRED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UNDER A FEDERALLY MANDATED WARRANTY, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ARE COVERED FOR EIGHT YEARS OR 80,000 MILES. YET THE DEALER HAS DECLINED TO COVER REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS NOT ON. I WAS GIVEN A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $2,400. *TR |
