Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I think it only affected 2010 & early 2011

Default Audis are junk cars and I do not understand why people buy them

Sonnen audi in norcal says it's a huge job just to get to get at the thermostat. Completely buried in the engine. Deep. A full day to get at it. A full day to reach the thermostat of a car. Unbelievable.
My brother just bought a 2016 a6 Audi. For around 50,000$.if that wasn’t stupid enough now for weeks it took the dealership to tell him it’s a 5,000$ electrical repair that his warranty does not cover.do this car will be sitting untill he can get money to fix it.his girlfriends son has his old Audi 2012 a4 and now that needs 1400$ air conditioning repair they expect my brother to pay for because their selling her son his car but it’s been 7 months still her son has got no loan to buy it.I never thought my brother to be do stupid and nieve. But ALL I KNOW IS AUDIS ARE NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SO WHY DO PEOPLE BUY THESE JUNK CARS! I’ve only ever seen and heard constant complaints or things wrong with them . GET RID OF YOUR AUDI I WOULD NEVER BUY ONE THRIR TRASH CARS SUCK ALL YOUR MONEY OUT OF YOU AND THE WARRANTY IS ALWAYS NO GOOD ALMOST A SCAM !
Car just barely is out of Audicare, of course.junk

My first... and I promise, my last Audi.
