My audi stopped blowing out heat first and then the check engine light came on. When I took it to get the check engine light code tested it read pressure default. Not long after my air bag light came on. Now my car is leaking coolant.

Oil dipstick & support tube, made of plastic, cracks - brakes into pieces , both on the dipstick & tube that can easily go down the tube into the oil below. Looks like a poor engineering decision to use plastic that after years of heating to near engind tempatures then cooling has a high probability of cranckin and having pieces fall into the engine oil supply - possibally causing engind damage or faliure. Should be replaced every 5 years or with a metal structure that doesn't crack/break off into pieces. I would think from the youtube complaints on how to replace it I am not alone with this proiblem. Dealer part sales might confirm the problem.

My daughter was driving her 2004 audi a4 at about 40 miles per hour when the car jerked, she then pulled up to the stop light and stopped. The car stalled and would not start. The engine warning light was on. We pushed the car out of the lane of traffic. A few hours later we went back to the car and it started up with no problem, we drove the car with no problems. This is a very dangerous situation and it appears that other owners have had this problem. There was an investigation pe08027 opened on this issue in 2008 and closed in 2008 without a recall.

2004 audi a4 1.8t engine sludge--complete engine failure. Audi absurdly refuses to honor their own extended warranty on the basis the car was run without oil. The engine failed internally because there was and is sludge blocking lubrication ports to the moving parts, I.e., failure. This is my executive synopsis, but I have volumes of supporting evidence, unbelievable as it is to think this could happen in america.
