| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was told by the dealer that the control arms are failing because audi didn't provide for lubrication points.. they had no explanation for the loss of the engine mount bolts, and could not respond when i said i had never owned a car that had lost it's engine mount bolts.. obviously this has also got to be a problem caused by poor design and engine vibration.. these bolts should be safety wired to prevent this problem. i think audi should cover the costs of replacement of the control arm and engine mount, but the differential problem could be due to wear, although again i don't have this problem on my jeep or other vehicles. *ak |
