Crank case ventilation hose breaks and engine runs poorly part#06C103235B
The coolant light came on after I replaced coil packs and I stopped to look wasn't leaking anywhere. Drove to work and it caught on fire due to overheating I guess not really sure. I was driving a car on fire down a highway and didn't even know it. I stopped to take a left turn into work and smoke stared billowing out and around the entire car. Other drivers couldn't see me or nothing I could have been in an accident. The fire department checked the car out sort of and it's in a mechanics shop now. Trying to figure it out. Oil light was on and that's it. AN then the coolant light would kick on and off. Nothing else after I changed the coil packs. And it was well after I did that.

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM A DRIVE THROUGH FAST FOOD PLACE LAST NIGHT MY DAUGHTER WAS PARKING IN OUR DRIVEWAY, SHE WAS IN REVERSE. THE CAR (A 2003 AUDI A4 CV CONVERTIBLE) BOUNCED AND MADE A SOUND THEN SHE STOPPED. I SAID TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION TO HER BLACK SMOKE STARTED TO RISE OUT OF THE TOP OF THE HOOD CRACK IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. I TOLD HER TO GET THE DOG IN OUR BACK SEAT AND HERSELF OUT I ASSUMED IT WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE THE DARK SMOKE. I GRABBED MY PURSE PIPED THE HOOD AND MY DAUGHTER CALLED 911 AS THE NEIGHBORS RAN INSIDE THERE HOME FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER.

GASKET LEAKAGE, IN TWO SEPARATE AREAS IN UPPER GASKET, PER MECHANIC. CAR IS NOW IN REPAIRS. BASED UPON READING THE ONLINE RECALLS ON THE OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE, THIS IS PART OF THE RECALL FOR AUDI A4 2000-2006. UNITED STATES
I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN THE AUDI AND AFTER A YEAR THE TRANSMISSION REVERSE MODE FAILED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHICH REPAIRED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE PART WHICH WAS NEEDED FOR THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE NEW PART AN ADDITIONAL $2700. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE CAR AND THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON FILE ABOUT ME HOWEVER I HAD REPEATEDLY BEEN IN PERSONALLY TO ASK ABOUT THE CAR AND ANY RECALLS AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THEY HAD MY EMAIL ADDRESS. I WAS THEN TOLD I WAS SIX MONTHS TOO LATE AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I TRIED TO CALL AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE HEADQUARTERS AND ONLY GOT THE RUN...
