Consumer Description
2005 AUDI A4 AVANT IS CURRENTLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE AUDI DEALERSHIP AND AUDI OF AMERICA WILL NOT REPLACE A CRACKED COOLANT RESERVOIR. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM, BUT THERE WAS NO LEAK. HOWEVER, THE CRACK WAS VERY VISIBLE AND WILL MOST LIKELY SPREAD FURTHER RESULTING IN A LEAK. THE CRACK WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED FROM THE EXCESSIVE HEAT UNDER THE ENGINE HOOD. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A SERIOUS FLAW IN MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE RESERVOIR. *AK
