Description of the problem | I purchased this 2005 audi a4 in august of 2007 and within the first few months of having the vehicle i was already having problems with it having to take it in and get repaired/serviced. Not only was i dissatisfied that i bought a horrible car, because it was having recurring problems, but i find out after purchasing the vehicle the dealership sold me a quattro, but my audi is not a quattro, so i was mislead into buying a faulty vehicle.. My paperwork documentation says 2005 audi a4 quattro 1. 8t so i had to pay to get towed out of the snow because the audi is only 2 wheel drive.. I will never ever purchase a vw/audi vehicle again and i always tell people don't get a vw/audi because they are horrible unreliable cars. I have put so much money into this junk audi that just constantly has problems, i could have bought a new car again by now . I'm very disappointed with vw/audi. I have wasted so much money on diagnostic repair checks, because the [xxx] check engine light repeatedly keeps coming on the dashboard. I can't get my car smog approved without the check engine light being off, so i am relentlessly dumping money i simply don't have into this pos audi.
