I OWN A 2011 AUDI A4. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2013. IT WAS OKAY WITH OIL FOR A YEAR BUT AFTER THAT I NOTICED IT WOULD NEED OIL MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME IT NEEDED OIL, WHICH WAS AROUND 900 MILES DRIVEN, AND THE DEALER TOLD US IT WAS NORMAL. AS OF TODAY I AM PUTTING ONE QUART OF ENGINE OIL EVERY 500 CITY MILES. I THINK IT IS USING WAY TOO MUCH OIL

TIMING BELT TENSIONER FAILING AT UNDER 70K MILES BUT AUDI SUGGESTS THAT NO NEED TO PERFORM ANY TIMING BELT RELATED WORK BEFORE 120K MILES. THIS CAUSES CATASTROPHIC FAILURE ON THE ENGINE AND ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS AND COMPLAINTS IN SEVERAL STATES. I WANTED TO OFFICIALLY START THIS COMPLAIN AND I'M IN MISSOURI. THESE TENSIONERS AND CHAINS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM SINCE VOLKSWAGEN KNEW THESE COMPONENTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD CAUSE PREMATURE AND OFTEN UNANNOUNCED EXPENSIVE ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY THE SUBSEQUENT REVISIONS TO THE TENSIONER AND CHAIN PERFORMED IN LATE 2011 IN AN EFFORT TO CORRECT THE ORIGINAL DEFECTS.

"DIPPED RIGHT HEADLIGHT" WARNING POPPED UP ON MY CAR, ON AND OFF FOR MONTHS. MY RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WOULD WORK ONE DAY AND THEN "FAIL" THE NEXT. IT HAD BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS UNTIL IT FINALLY COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. MY BALLAST FAILED WHICH CAUSED HID/XENON LIGHT TO BURN OUT ON FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT. I HAVE READ THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT WITH THE HID/XENON LIGHT SYSTEMS AND THAT IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS. WHEN SPEAKING TO AUDI, THEY SAID THIS HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE AND THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. I WOULD FEEL A FRONT HEADLIGHT IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY TOOL TO HAVE WHEN DRIVING, AND HAVING TO PAY $700+ FOR A HEADLIGHT REPAIR IS NOT NORMAL IN MY OPINION. FOR ME THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND AUDI SHOULD BE ASSISTING WITH THE REPAIR COSTS.
