Audi A4 / S4 Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Apr | 2009 | 93000 | 300 | Changed timing belt and water pump. Audi notified me the timing belt needed inspecting ASAP. I found the original timing belt would have easily gone to 105k. Changed the water pump while engine was open because of easy access. Did the job myself. |

Had to order the 4th. Aftermarket coil pack lasted 12,000 miles, so I will replace all A/C blew cold at idle, but not at highway speed. Found vacuum leak, large 3 way hose split. Will replace next time I am near dealer, but fixed for now with duct tape. |
| Jun | 2011 | 112000 | 1 | Vacuum leak found, fixed with tape but need to replace more rubber hoses. Vacuum leak causes A/C to work poorly, fools computer to think engine is under hard load. |
