“2010 Audi S4 water pump failure -- this complaint is identical to the previous two complaints surrounding this model's water pump failure. It should be noted that a near full loss of steering directly related to this failure occurred at the same time. In my case the car has been repaired, however like others who have detailed their experiences, Audi has not acknowledged this is a systemic issue for this model, nor is the repair satisfactory as the distinct odor of g-12 (g-30 in europe) is present. …”
