Description of the problem | I just purchased an 08 audi a4 3. 2l cabriolet almost 2 months ago with 16k miles on it. After 3 weeks, and approximately 800 miles later, my check engine light came on. I took it to the used car dealership i bought it from (mazda) and was sent to audi. I took it to audi and they couldn't get me in for 1. 5 weeks. I finally got it in, and they said they cleaned my valves and changed 3 injectors due to a carbon build up. 2 1/2 weeks later, light is back on. I called the audi dealership, can't see me for another 2 weeks! I did some research and found a full thread of a lot of complaints about this same issue for this year/engine size from audi and vw. Audi is claiming there is no issue and the gasoline is at fault. I use only top tier gasoline as recommended. Please review the several other complainants on this forum at http://www. Audiforums. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=113568 this is an ongoing issue that is being ignored and affecting a lot of consumers. It has yet to become a safety issue, but could in the very near future if not corrected. |
