2006 Audi A3 Fuel system Problems

“2nd time this has happened in just a few days. I want to start documenting every time this has happened. I was pulling into fast moving traffic from a side street. I was making a left hand turn and the car hesitated putting me into the way of on coming traffic at 50 MPH. This was very dangerous because I was accelerating trying to reach 50 MPH could have been rear ended only going about 10 MPH.”

“From a stopped position on a side street in a left hand turn lane I stepped on the gas pedal and the car started to move then immediately had a loss of power in making a left hand turn onto a major street. The car lurched forward then hesitated. It is really dangerous because it can surprise people and cause cars to crash into me. It has done this a few other times. I feel given the right circumstances this could cause an accident.”

“1. Normal driving. 2. The camshaft follower on my high pressure fuel pump in my 2006 Audi A3 was punched clean through and the plunger on my fuel pump was eating away at my camshaft... I subsequently received no check engine lights, but had fuel cuts and boost cuts in medium to high rpms. 3. I had to buy a new camshaft, camshaft follower, and high pressure fuel pump. Vw/Audi refused to help me because I am at 60,000 miles, even though my manual says the part should be check, and maybe replaced starting at 100,000 miles... …”

“Driving on the freeway back to the hotel in las vegas from the west rim of the grand canyon, 100+ deg outside temp. Sudden fuel cut off/loss power for about 1 sec. Took it the dealership and the in tank fuel pump/control module failed thus cut off sending fuel to the engine. Upon picking my vehicle the service advisor commented that several cars from california with cooler temperatures have had experienced this issue. This put me and my family in a very dangerous situation and compromised our safety. I've done some research and found out problem occurred on same year has my vehicle.”

“This is very know problem with vw/Audi 2.0t engines that I was not aware of before it happened to me. Basically camshaft follower broke causing damage to high pressure fuel pump and camshaft. The cam shaft follower is too weak and it brakes too often for some other people. There is ton of complains on the internet about tjis spevific problem. Now the high pressure fuel pump is on back order since july and no one knows when it will be available. I'm stock without a car and no one can help or even tell me when the part will be available. Audi is not doing anything to help. …”
