2006 Audi A3 Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	892326
Internal NHTSA #	10435689
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	AUDI
Model	A3
Model Year	2006
File date	31/03/09
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The problem started with an intermittent right headlight tilt message. The right bulb was replaced per tsb 2013829/6 on 4/15/09 by the dealer under warranty. We have been having this problem on the left side for the past year or more. The left headlight now turns off intermittently after the dip warning light comes on. When the lights are turned off and on again, the light turns on. This is a safety issue as the left headlight shuts off randomly. We are out of warranty now and feel both headlights should have been repaired under the original tsb while the car was under warranty. The bulbs are xenon and very expensive. This problem appears to be a common problem with audi's based on the service order and internet discussion groups.
