My 2005 audi a4 avant shut down today on the freeway. Dealer said it was the fuel pump and that it failed early. However, they would not cover the repairs under warranty. I know there are recalls on the fuel pumps for the 2003 model but I believe the problem is actually more widespread. This is a very dangerous problem and to have the car shut down in the middle of the freeway is not normal. This fuel pump issue should be addressed immediately. I know there are many more owners out there that have experienced the same problems.
2005 Audi A4 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Knocking noise under rear passenger seat behind driver. After changing out fuel gauging mechanisms and fuel pump the dealer has been told (by audi USA) that the cause is probably a filter element in fuel tank area which clogs and does not let the tank return air to tank after being compressed when fuel is sent to engine? The vehicle has been in the shop off and on for the last 2 months. Although dealer/audi are trying to fix the vehicle this should not happen in a 35k plus automobile. I am only lucky that I still have some warranty time left (vehicle is not yet two years old with about 35k miles! Had it not been for the warranty remaining this would have been very labor intensive thus very expensive.
