No that's not a regular thing foam on oil cap I have an 01 1.8t and never seen anything remotely like that problem with used audi's is most people that by them new have no idea how to take care of a car and have more money than brains therefor the vehicles are neglected then when things start going wrong and breaking down they trade them in and you get a salesman being a salesman and trying to sell you someone else's problem take the car to an Audi vw specialist that has nothing to do with the dealer and see what they say !!

I just got a 2005.5 Audi A4 3.2 FSI with 67k on it and so far these are the issues I have:
Air Bag Light is on
Rear passenger window does not work
can anyone tell me if this is the window regulator? I can hear the motor and the window drops about an inch but that's it. I can push the window up and down with my hand.
CEL came on with codes P2006, P2007, P2404.
-vacuum leak and evap leak
I found the broken hose and replaced it. CEL went off after driving for about another 20 miles.
Headlight washer leak.
So far that's all I can think of. If anyone can chime in on these issues, some of them I think are common, just want to know what I am getting myself into. I am a brand new Audi owner, 1st one, have heard they are expensive to fix.
Thanks.

I haven't read through this entire thread, but I'll say:
O2 Sensors.
Tie Rods.
Sunroof switch (there's an easy fix for this).
Camber (which requires adjusting the sub-frame).
Black plastic piece that protects the bottom of the windshield.
Vacuum Lines.
Rear window regulator cables.
Speed/Crankshaft positioning sensor.
LCD DIC.display.
Hood strut.
Fuel pump & Injector relays.
Central Locking unit.
CV joints (but that's with every car).
That's all I can think of.
As far as the steering rack goes: Mine's taking a ****. Can someone tell me if there's an indicator before it goes (besides the clicking), or does it just break and you lose all control of steering w/o any "safety mechanism" in place to save you?
Thanks
