I have a 2002 Audi Quattro A4. I've had the car 2 years and it's paid off. At 56K miles I've begun to have a series of problems with it, including vacuum hoses leaking, a brake circuit board failing, rear window going off track and needing replacement, head gaskets needing replacement. The latest is the oil sensor needing replacement and 4 power steering leaks that will cost me 9 hours worth of labor. I wanted to keep this car for a long time, but now I'm beginning to think it's time to trade it in. I've been told that these cars start to have problems after 40K miles.

I love the way this car handles, the solid build of it and the fact it has all-wheel drive while looking sporty. The turbo really gives it that extra kick when I need it. Has anyone else started to have similar problems after 40K?

 

this scares the crap outta me.

 

What scares you? The potential mechanical problems?

 

yep. =/
