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.

| Nov | 2006 | 69000 | 98 | Excessive front brake squeal. Original pads were fine, at least 1/3 life left in them, but I replaced them and squeal stopped 90 percent. Suspect RF caliper is hanging up. Continue to monitor. |
| Apr | 2007 | 74000 | 78 | Windshield washer pump motor siezed. Blew associated fuse. I bought new washer pump, installed myself. Headlight bulb, changed myself. Took one hour, shop could probably do it in 30 minutes. |
| Jul | 2007 | 77000 | 2 | Check engine light came on. I pulled the code, running lean, cylinder bank 1. Found vacuum hose broken causing leak. Replaced vacuum hose. Cleared code. |
| Oct | 2008 | 89000 | 225 | Noticed front rotors delaminating. Replaced all 4 rotors. Speedometer stopped working. Check engine light came on. Replaced vehicle speed sensor. |
| Nov | 2008 | 89000 | 1700 | Steering was vague, car wandered, especially over bumps. Replaces all front control arms, tie rod ends, front struts and rear shocks. |
| Dec | 2008 | 90000 | 1100 | Exhaust pipe cracked between resonator and muffler. Pipe needed to be replaced, as the area of crack was too thin to weld. Replaced entire exhaust system instead. |
| Jan | 2009 | 91000 | 100 | Engine misfiring. One coil pack died. Elected to replace all 4, as the coil packs are a known issue, and they were only $25 each. |
| 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. |
| Jul | 2009 | 94000 | 45 | Check engine light came on, pulled code, consulted manual and replaced Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. |
| Mar | 2010 | 99000 | 400 | Parking brake cable seized. Replaced both cables. Rear brake pads and rotors replaced from dragging brakes. Replaces front brake rotors and pads due to rust on defective aftermarket rotor. |
| Jul | 2010 | 102000 | 80 | Car started misfiring. Intermittant issue over about 100 miles. Finally the coil pack died and set a code. I replaced 3 coil packs with OEM replacements. 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. |

They towed the car to the Dealership. Dealership replaced the water pump and timing belt. Check engine light was on for two weeks. Local auto parts store reset the light, it came back on after 3 days. While in the shop for problem 1, shop said they think problem 1 caused problem 2. They reset light but repaired nothing. Had to take car bac Check engine light on (as mentioned in problem 2 of trip 1). Light reset during trip 1. Light came on 3 days later. Went back, sensors bad, replaced sensors, problem solved. 2 weeks later light has not come back on. After getting car back from trip 1, washer fluid light came on. I refilled with 1 gal of fluid.

I requested shop replace the ETC sensor and fuel filter (it was overdue anyway). |
