2001 Audi A4 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had 5 (five) coils fail in 18 months.
General comments?
Car is nice. However, the coil problem makes the overall reliability record abysmal. 5 times it has broken down and left me stranded.
I can never feel confident of completing a journey in the A4. It is quite unsafe to drive as an immediate loss of power occurs when a coil "goes".
Currently off the road for a fifth time waiting for parts to arrive. Have been told it could be a week before they arrive - but it could be a month.
Audi customer "service" do not even reply to correspondence regarding to coil problem. It is being hushed up - big time.
Over 4,000 UK A4s are off the road at 8th Feb 2003 awaiting replacement coils. Trouble is, the replacements fail in time anyway!
Be warned. Avoid.
