2002 Audi A4 review from North America
"Very expensive to operate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
26 March 2002 Audi A4 turbo
I have had this car for less than one year and has less than 40,000 miles (35,000 miles) and its back with the audi dealers for check engine service light and now it needs a valve cover gasket and enine coolant temp senser cost for both 900.00 and the 40,000 mile check up cost is 642.00. I cannot believe the value cover gasket is leaking due to the cold weather in Anch. Alaska (temp this year was -20 below for about week) due to cold temp. the gasket has to be replaced. This car is very very expensive to operate and I would never buy another one.
General comments?
This vehicle does not hold up to normal driving and needs a lot of maintenance.
