THE AUDI CARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANKS WHICH COULD LEAD TO EXPLOSIONS. MY 2002 AUDI HAS ABOUT 100K ON IT, WHICH IS WHEN I STARTED SMELLING GAS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER IN 2008 FOR A RECALL, AND AT THAT TIME THEY SERVICED A PART OF THE FUEL SYSTEM, FOR WHICH NOW THERE IS A RECALL. THEN THIS YEAR, SMELLING GAS, I HAD THE RINGS CHANGED, BUT NOW SMELLING GAS AGAIN, MY AUDI MECHANIC SAYS THE TANK IS NOT REPAIRABLE. HE PULLED IT AS FAR DOWN AS POSSIBLE AND USED A SCOPE ON IT TO SEE IF IT COULD BE REPAIRED. NOW I AM LOOKING AT ABOUT 2K IN BILLS FOR A NEW GAS TANK. I CALLED AUDI AND ASKED THEIR ADVOCATE ABOUT THIS, ASKING ABOUT IF IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL, AND OF COURSE HE SAID NO

I HAVE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS GO ON WITH AN ACCOMPANYING THREE BEEPS FROM THE CONSOLE OF MY 2000 AUDI A6 QUATTRO SEDAN. THIS IS HAPPENING MOST OF THE TIME NOW. THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC INDICATES THAT THERE IS NO COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT HE CAN FIX THIS FOR ABOUT 25% OF THE VALUE OF MY CAR. THIS IS NUTS. I GO ONLINE AND FIND THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAVE FILED QUESTIONS WITH VARIOUS AUDI-RELATED WEB PAGES, ALL WITH THE SAME OR NEARLY THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW NOT A WORN-OUT PART. I ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ARE TERRIBLY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

AT 60,300 MILES THE IGNITION COILS FAILED AGAIN WHILE VEHICLE WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT A FACTOR. THE ENGINE WAS LOUDER THAN NORMAL, AND VEHICLE DID NOT DRIVE NORMALLY, ALSO, THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER.THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED AFTER THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE AT 10-15 MPH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION COILS FOR CYLINDERS 2, 3 & 6 WERE FAULTY , AND RECOMMENED ALL IGNITION COILS SHOULD BE REPLACED.
