1998 Audi A4 Quattro review from North America
"Car from the DEVIL!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New engine after purchase; $4500, and $3300 to install.
New clutch installed is $1300.
Check engine light always on.
Oil leakage 2 quarts per week.
General comments?
This car looks great, but is a total nightmare. Every mechanic I have spoken with says Audi is garbage and some mechanics wouldn't work on the car.
The car was checked by my mechanic and there were no problems, but two days later the engine threw a rod. There was no heads up for this one. One day the car will run great, and the next day it will crap on you.
