| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Posted comment earlier about battery acid leaking onto clutch line and brake line causing severe damage to both lines... spoke with audi and they stated that the engine does not have to be removed for the brake line to be fixed... the most likely culprit of this leak is due an overcharged battery due to a jump or manual re-charge (note: according to audi, never replace the s4 battery with anything other than with an audi battery... of course they would say this, but he was pretty convincing... 2nd note: i do have an audi battery in my s4, and i'm still having the issue... audi may help pay for this b/c of that fact, but they haven't committed to it until further investigation). the total, according to over-the-phone diagnosing, was going to be b/n 1 and 2 thousand bucks at the dealer.*ak |
