Default 2009 A3 help It's a lemon

Hey Guys

I bought my 2009 A3 from Mark Motors of Ottawa in December 2013 with 71,000KM. It came CPO with a warranty that ends in July 2015

Since purchasing the car I have a list of repairs.


New water Pump
New Megatronics Unit
New Horn
New ABS control module
New driverside door locking harness and heater blower fan
New Intake Manifold
New front and rear crankshaft seals
New upper timing belt cover seal
New PCV valve

Everything has been covered under CPO warranty, however this is an overwhelmingly long list of problems with a car with low KM. The warranty runs out in July and Audi Canada will not help me.

If anyone has any sugestions on what I might try next. I tried trading the car in elsewhere but I'm not getting a good value vs what I owe on finance. I'd be out several thousand dollars.

Thanks!

I don't know...that list isn't all that...the horn...seals...water pump. I'm assuming it's much colder where you are..so seals and stuff of course take a beating. And if all those things are fixed now..then why get rid of it? It's almost new again! LOL!

And maybe your the type that buying an extended warranty makes more sense then buying another car? I don't know....doesn't sound like your the mech type...so just making suggestions.

Are you sure your car actually needed all these fixes? Seems very unusual for an A3 with low miles.
