I just had my 90,000 mile service on my 1999 A6 Quattro 2.8 including Timing Belt, water pump, full tune up, etc (cost me $2300!) right before Christmas.
Was away for Christmas and when I got back, I started my car, and the "Check Engine" light was lit and it was idling very rough.
Brought it in and they told me that the Fuel Injector #5 was bad and needed to be replaced. The problem is that I was told that Audi has changed the injectors from 4 hole to 6 hole and the old injectors are not available and cannot be installed on the car. This means I have to buy 6 new injectors. Close to another $1000 worth of work!
This car is just over 2 years old and they obsoleted parts like this? Sounds to me like they had a bad part and replaced with something better, but did not do a recall like they should have.
Anyone else know anything about this?
