Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Intake manifold flap on passenger not opening fully causing the check engine light to turn on. I checked the web and I there are a lot of complaints about the same problem. I've had bmw, mercedez, toyota's and a lot more, none of those vehicle gave me problem. Audi is taking care of other models with 2.0 tfsi engine, they extended the emmission warranty to 10 yrs or 100k. Audi should take care of this issue aswell.”
