It's a Known problem with many Audi's.

They ARE aware of it, but will not do anything about it.

They will have to bring the regional service mgr to thier dealership.
They will run a full set of 'water' tests.

Only IF the Reg. Serv. Mgr deems it's worse than normal, will they replace the light/housing.

Total BS.

But that is what I've been told at the Stealership and also from AoA !!!!

hey Kujo, do you ever get a slight pulsation from the brake pedal when at a complete stop?

not that I've ever noticed, no.

I've have guite a few issues with this car.
In fact, I was driving down to a dealership to trade it in for a different 2005 S4 6mt, when it sh*t the bed and broke down.

I'll be dealing with AoA on Monday and they'll be swapping the car out for me....
or an attorney is going to have alot of fun with them.

thanks for letting me know Kujo. good luck with your fight.

RS, that was going to be my last option... didn't want to hear the dealer complain or blame me if something else went wrong later on.
