Complaint
1993
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN TWO OF THE ORIGINAL AUDI S4'S, BOTH 1993 MODELS. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ONE OF THESE CARS IN 2007 AND THE THROTTLE STUCK OPEN SO THAT THE ENGINE RACED UNCONTROLLABLY. SHE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CLUTCH IN AND STOP THE CAR AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THEN SHE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC PART ON THE TIP OF THE THROTTLE CAM HAD BROKEN OFF AND AS A RESULT THE THROTTLE CABLING MECHANISM STUCK IN THE PARTIALLY "OPEN" POSITION. I HAD THE THROTTLE CAM REPLACED WITH AN ALL STAINLESS STEEL CAM WHICH CANNOT BREAK DOWN AS A RESULT OF HEAT, AS PLASTIC OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT CAN DO. I HAD OEM CAMS REPLACED IN BOTH S4'S. AUDI DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM IN OCTOBER 2007. I HAVE RECOMMENDED TO AUDI THAT ALL 1992-1997 S4 AND S6 MODELS BE RECALLED AND THAT ALL THROTTLE CAMS BE REPLACED WITH AN ALL STAINLESS STEEL CAM (FOR EXAMPLE, ONE FABRICATED BY 034 MOTORSPORT IN FREMONT, CA.) AT LEAST ONE OTHER INSTANCE OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, DUE TO FAILURE OF THE OEM THROTTLE CAM, HAS BEEN REPORTED ON THE "WEB" -- IN FACT THAT REPORT LED ME TO 034 MOTORSPORT'S SOLUTION. I KNOW I NEVER RECEIVED, FROM AUDI, A NOTICE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. DATE SHOWN BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. I WOULD HAVE TO FIND THE TOWING BILL TO BE PRECISE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY COOLANT PUMP BLEW AROUND 10K MILES. I LIVE IN BOSTON. IT WAS COLD THAT MORNING - SINGLE DIGITS. I STARTED THE CAR AND HEARD A FLAPPING NOISE. I IGNORED IT AND DROVE TO GET COFFEE. WHEN THE CAR WARMED UP, THE FLAPPING NOISE WENT AWAY SO I STARTED OUT TO MY DESTINATION. ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE INSIDE WAS WET. I CALLED AAA AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE. COUNT ME AMONG THOSE THAT ARE UPSET THAT AUDI IS NOT FIXING THIS BEFORE IT HAPPENS. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A PUBLIC RECALL BUT A SIMPLE CALL FROM MY DEALERSHIP ASKING ME TO COME IN SO THEY CAN FIX A POTENTIALLY FAULTY PART. *LN
