"Great until you leave the sales floor, then it's garbage"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air bag igniter

Seat belt sensors

Info screen on dash

Wheel bearings (at least 8)

Control Arms

Oxygen Sensors

Windshield wiper linkage

And a million other things.

General comments?

We have owned 7 Audi's in my family, including 4 A4's. This thing, actually all of them, are a money pits and cause a lot of wasted time at dealerships getting them fixed. Dealership service is terrible. I will NEVER buy an Audi again.

My 2000 Audi A4Q with over 100K miles has been outstanding on performance and maintenance. Original tires went 68,000 miles and still had more. No annoying electrical/mechanical or other issues just routine maintenance.

I bought a 2000 Audi A4 1.8t quattro with 90,000 miles on it for $11000.

After driving it for 2 days, a coil pack went out. After that, it has had no big problems so far.

The check engine light came on one time and went away, I bought it with a new turbo, new fuel pump, the timing belt was done, I have replaced wheel bearings, O2 sensor, all the vacuum lines, the turbo housing, the diverter valve (which is now atmospheric) brakes and rotors, tires.

It runs great for me; I love it and plan to keep it.

I have owned 14 Audi's in the past and they have been like Rolls Royces to me. So beautifully made and a fantastic finish. I have quite a rare A4, the 2.4 V6, but I've just had the cambelt done on it (the previous one was on it when it was new) and the engine is so quite and smooth. I got the car about 2 months ago at 83,000 miles. It drives beautifully. The car goes like the clappers and I usually get about 31 mpg, which is good considering I go on shortish journeys. I will NOT get rid of it.
