This thread is just rediculous...
phroztbyt3 Don't take advantage of the forums like this. A search would have gotten you well on your way, and you would not be getting TOTALLY RIPPED OFF by the STEALERSHIP if you just pay a little bit of attention to people that go out of their way to help like onepoint8tee. He told you exactly what you needed to do, if you had done it, you may have saved your step dad a few hundred, or even a thousand bucks...
I guess some people just don't want to save money.... Good luck to you.

RE: HELP: big engine problem
i DID do it.. it DIDNT work... we replaced the coil pack and the frign ICM.... but it DIDNT WORK.... so thats y we took it to the dealership... these guys have been working with cars for 15 years... im sure theyre legit... and the audi dealership ONLY works with audis there... so i dont know why onepoint8tee is getn all worked up over this if what he said i already did.
we vagcommed it... i dont know about codes... but all it tells us is that there is misfire and that it has something to do with the fuel injection. So the audi mechanics told us the REAL situation.

RE: HELP: big engine problem
Man.. It just really sucks when you try to help someone and tell them everything to do, and then they turn around and bitch slap you and take the problem to the dealer because they are too stupid to follow directions.. The problem that the dealer is telling him he has is vitually unheard of.. He has got to be getting scammed. None of what he has said makes sense as far as the diagnosing goes.

RE: HELP: big engine problem
i didnt bitch slap u.... u just kinda got worked up over nothing.
we fixed the fuking problem.... btw what i said was ...... it was the ICM .... aka "control unit".... that went bad... but what i said was that it was the alternator's fault because the alternator put in a couple months ago was faulty... so we replaced both parts..... the audi dealership mechanics told us right away that the alternator is what caused it to go bad in the first place... jeezzzzz.
