Default Hi, I new

My name is Vanessa. Im a Mustnag LOVER.
I bought an AUDI A4, that i LOVE, in December.
I had to push it about 200 feet, ALL BY MYSELF, IN 158$$$ COACH SHOES!with my BABY in the car, in 7 degree weather! about 4 feet away from my stopping point, someone FINALLY stopped to push! WHAT THE HELL!
I HELP EVERYONE! if they are stuck on the road i mean EVERYONE!
And this was about 5 pm! When most EVERYONE is off work!!!!!!!!!!!! on the Johanssan exp.! i mean, a major road in FAIRBANKS!

And to top it all off, I pulled the timing cover off at the side of the road to find my ****ing TIMING BELT ATE THE **** OUT!!!!

AND THIS IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE! which means, it BENT ALL the VALVES!!!!

basically, it need the WHOLE top END re-built!

for me!!! and my AUDI!

I think its hopefully under warranty, ill find out when i call anchorage tomorrow!
Since I will have to have it towed to ANCHORAGE (372 miles away) to the AUDI dealer! then I will have to get a ride there, to pick it up, and thats iffffffffff.... its under warranty!


im sooo depressed, this is the worst thing ever happened to me in a car!

worse then blowing two trannys in two seprate toyotas! this is way WAY more extensive!

but does anyone know if its coverec under warranty?

I suppose it would be if still within the Audi original 4 year - 50K warranty.

Car is a 04' so I can't see why in any way it wouldn't be covered, unless you have high milage.
I bet it was caused by those 11inch headrest monitors - GOD DAM

Welcome to the forums! Sorry to hear about your car, though. It should be covered under warranty. Too bad that Anchorage is so far away from you. At least make them give you a loaner.

Welcome. Should be covered by Audi, unless they found a way to prove it is your fault, such as upgraded ECU.

APR 91, Ecodetuning Testpipe, DVFSI
Milltek exhaust (soon)

Welcome to the AF.

You have kept up on your maintenance and kept records right? This will be a big thing when it comes time to collect from the warranty.

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nurse!

a mustang lover, an audi driver, a smokin hot female (WHO KNOWS ABOUT CARS)! where have you been all my life [8D]you need to ditch alaska and come down to floridamuch nicer weather. and if i saw you stuck on the side of the road i would have definitely pulled over.

that sux that the timing belt broke. you MAY get lucky and none of the valves bent, but they most likely did. its a pretty expensive job to repair so good luck with that warranty. from personal experience, just bitch like there's no tomorrow, keep bitchin, bitch some more, and make it clear that it is there problem and you want it fixed. if you just allow them to screw you, trust me, they will.
