Description of the problem | Since we leased our 08 audi a4 quattro 2. 0t we have had issues with the car seeming to loose power and jerk usually when driving between 60 and 70mph. We have complained to the dealer and they have replaced or repaired the following under warranty: two diverter valves (first at 500 miles and the second at 1200 miles) the car would shake violently when cold as if running on 2cyl, removed an air filter pre-screen (at 5000 miles scheduled service), replaced the turbo charger and battery power cable (8500 miles). Un-fortunately the vehicle continues with the problem at 13,880 miles. Additionally, the vehicle consumes oil and now only gives us 15-17mpg in the city, which we have been told are both normal by maplewood audi. I can say that if we had know about the vehicles oil consumption, poor fuel mileage (especially for a 4cyl engine) and the engine jerk we would have never leased this vehicle. |
