Audi S4 2004 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Review #10261864

AUDI S4 2004 car safety problem was reported on July 11, 2008.AUDI S4 2004, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . i drive a 2004 audi s4. my car suffered a major failure. the motor failed due to a design by audi and that is unacceptable. the car failed due to these plastic guides that audi uses as timing chain guides. the guides are never supposed to be serviced although when they fail you have to pay at least 4 thousand dollars to get them replaced because the motor needs to be pulled to replace them. they are on the back of the motor so there is no way to know when it is going to happen. when the timing chain tensioner or the guides fail it can and will result in a major motor failure. if the motor needs to be rebuilt it will cost at least $10,000. luckily i had an extended warranty and it was covered, but i would still like to note that this is unacceptable and audi should be doing something because this is not a failure that one would expect on a 4 year old car. *tr.Mileage was 66000 miles.

AUDI S4 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 13, 2009.AUDI S4 2004, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . i got in my car this past friday to leave for work and then my car starts rumbling and sounds like what can best be described as a muscle car. i only live a mile from my office so i drive my car in. while driving it seems like the car has lost low end power and is still idling with a rumble. when i get to work i pop the hood and notice the entire motor shifting back and forth and my buddy sees my exhaust is moving up and down. so i decide to get it to the local garage that has worked on my car before. he is only about 2 blocks down from my office. when i pull out from my parking lot the car throws a cel and about 500 ft from the garage it starts flashing. so i coast the car into the garage and get the codes read. they're coming up as cyl. 4, 5, 6, and 7 misfires and p0021 cam timing adjust bank 2 not reached. so the mechanic clears the codes and takes the car around the block and once again the cel comes on and this time it says cyl. 1,3,7, and 8 misfiring and the p0021 code for the cam timing and also a new code p1317 bank 2 cam/crank angle sensor wrong combo of ecu's....to make a long story short the car was towed over 100 miles away to the nearest audi dealer and was diagnosed as having a faulty cam tensioner. the whole motor needs to be removed and tore apart and the tensioner replaced. the bill is $6286.18. my car is a 2004 audi s4 with only 67,000 miles on it and i just purchased it about 5 months ago. it is not under warranty. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 67641 miles.

Audi S4 2004 Unknown Or Other Review #10307525

AUDI S4 2004 car safety problem was reported on Jan 30, 2010.AUDI S4 2004, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . in january 2009 i attempted to change the right front tire on my 2004 audi s4. i used the car jack that comes with the car. after lifting the car up on the proper position (as explained in the audi users manual) the car jack broke apart under the weight of the car. the ground in my garage is even and made out of concrete and the automatic transmission was in p and the emergency brake was fully applied so that movement of the car while lifted was impossible. the audi dealer i complained to replaced the car jack and fixed the damage on the right lower side of my car without any charges. two weeks ago i had a flat on the right front side of my car again coming up interstate i 55 from cape girardeau mo. when using the new car jack (same model) that the audi dealer had given me after the prior incident. and as you probably guessed the same happened again. this time i was on the side of the road but the circumstances were not much different. after i stopped the car, i selected park on the automatic transaction and applied the emergency car brake. after loosening up the bolts i placed the car jack as explained in audi’s user manual under the car on the front right side and lifted the car up. then i attempted to take of the tire when the jack suddenly gave in as done in the first situation explained above. fortunately the car dropped with the rotor onto the inside of the rim of the tire i was about to pull of. i had to call a friend who was bringing me a different car jack so i could put on the spare tire. later i found out that the right rotor was slightly damaged after dropping onto the inside of the tire rim. nobody was hurt but i truly believe that this car jack is dangerous as it doesn’t seem to be made to carry the weight of my car. i worked for bmw as a licensed car mechanic in the past as well was a maintenance crew chief working on fighter jets well capable of changing a tire; if this happens to me then i believe it can happen anytime to anybody using this car jack.Mileage was 53000 miles.

AUDI S4 2004 car safety problem was reported on Dec 22, 2011.AUDI S4 2004, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i own a 2004, audi, s4 which i purchased used from my brother, who bought it new. i bought this car from him with 45,000 miles on it. at 55,000 miles the car had catastrophic engine failure. 5,000 miles over the warranty period! the mechanic that is repairing the damage said if one more component would have broke it could have caused me to lose control of the vehicle and crash. the engine and transmission had to be removed from the vehicle to be repaired. i contacted audi of u.s.a. to,1. alert them of this problem and possible safety issue, 2. because the car is only 5,000 miles over the warranty and it had such massive failure i believe it only reasonable to ask for some help in the cost of repairs. the repair cost are going to be between 4,000 and 5,000 dollars. 3. i work in quality assurance for a company and i really wanted to speak with their quality assurance and alert them to this big problem. it is crucial they (audi) understand the problem. the reps at audi of u.s.a. that i spoke with would not help (except to listen, they are good at that), and were not cooperating with me in the process of trying desperately to alert their quality people of this failure that occurred to my car. i believe i was completely ignored and i need to find out how i can effectively report this. not only to audi but also other people who own the same vehicle. this is a major issue that needs to be made public. thank you. *tr.Mileage was 55000 miles.
