Consumer Description

OIL LIGHT CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED ENGINE OIL LEVEL. NOT LOW. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW OIL PUMP DUE TO OIL SLUDGE. ON FURTHER INSPECTION THE DEALER FOUND SCARRING ON THE ENGINE BEARINGS AND WEAR ON THE CAMSHAFT. UPON FLUSHING ALL THE PRE-EXISTING OIL OUT OF THE ENGINE, METAL FILINGS WERE FOUND. NEW DIAGNOSIS: COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE REQUIRED. AUDI, USA KNOWS THIS IS A PROMBEM WITH A4 1.8T. THEY'VE EXTENDED WARRANTIES AS A DIRECT RESULT. YET BECUASE I'M THE SECOND OWNER AND CAN'T PRODUCE ALL PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS, I'M BEING REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE NEW ENGINE. THIS IS A POOR ENGINE DESIGN THAT I SHOULDN'T BE HELD LIABLE FOR.*AK
