1999 Audi A8 review from North America
"Thorny rose"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
OMG, I love this car!! However, I have the check engine on continuously, and I can't get the washer fluid to spray.
I had the coil on the left rear literally break in half and fall into my rim.
I now am told I will need a timing belt some time and that is approx 2500.00.
It is a bittersweet affair, I love the car, but really cannot afford the repairs.. I have no problem with the payments.
