1998 Audi A4 Quattro review from North America
"The biggest piece of crap I have ever had!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, basically right after I got my car, the transmission went left me sitting at a toll booth on the turnpike.
Next I noticed oil was leaking, no big deal, I fixed it.
Next, and still happening today, my car was and still is spitting out antifreeze out of the reservoir. I have had two different caps on it and numerous seals, nothing worked. Went to the dealerships and asked them, they don't know. Thinking having the 80,000 mile service done will fix it, well I was wrong. The car was in the shop for about 4 to 5 weeks, and it is stilling spitting out antifreeze.
General comments?
I just can't believe that a car company like Audi would have these kind of problems. I guess I was wrong. The car is really nice - if it would work properly, I would love to buy another Audi, but as of now, I don't want anything to do with it.
Basically, excuse my language, but right now I am really annoyed, this car is a piece of crap!!
