Fuel Tank Sending Unit - replaced. $250.
Oxygen Sensors, both - replaced at 40k miles. $400.
Rear Wheel Bearing- replaced. $150.
Rear wheel hub - replaced. $250.
Front Strut - replaced. $275.
Check Engine Light -Comes on constantly. You better use high test gas, and that better come from an Amoco, Shell, BP, or the such. A Cit-go, X-tra, or marginal gas station will turn on the light, even if you use high test gasoline. Bothersome to say the least. Cost for having the light checked and turned off? $75 each pop.
ABS/Brake Light- ABS and Brake light come on and flash. Audi says the ABS control unit no longer is recognized by the dash, although the ABS seems to work. $1800. Please.
I grew up with Audi's. My mom had many, my brother has had many. I always wanted one; I felt so good when I was finally able to buy one. What a fantastic car to drive, responsive, strong, safe... but it is a nightmare. Repair costs are through the roof, and you will have repair costs. The car has common problems that are very expensive to repair. I have to say good-bye to mine after 18 months of all-trouble driving. Know what you are getting yourself into before purchasing this car.
I own a 2000 Audi A4 2.8. I totally agree with these comments. I have replaced every part on this car, but the engine. All of the fluid containers have leaked, the control arms are shot, the catalytic converters need replacing and now the ABS/Brake lights are flashing.
I would NOT buy another Audi, this car is in the shop every month after 45K miles.
