This was both a very dangerous AND frightening experience. Audi headquarters was con

A PCV valve replacement was attempted July 2025; the warning returned after only 300 miles â same as before the fix. Audi of America approved a full engine replacement in September 2025, c
The module that controls the carâs electronics is located inside a special protective bag. A hole developed in this bag, and water leaked inside. The module is now completely submerged in water. When we started the car, many error messages appeared, but after we turned the car off and tried to start it again, the car would no longer start.
