Cause of TT breakdown day after selling to new owner??!!
Please help me with what could be cause..??
'01 Roadster with 40K miles, all services performed, never any mechanical problems, sold it with the utmost confidence that it was a sound vehicle.
Dealer performed a vehicle inspection before the sale, replaced brakes and nothing else was noted.
Three days later new owner was in contact from Bozeman, MT after driving from Oregon and stated that car "broke down on the trip and would not run". Bozeman Audi has performed the following replacements to get it "running".
New EVAP charcoal canister, EVAP purge solenoid, O2 sensor, ignition coils, mechanical recirc. valve and all new spark plugs to the grand total of $1038.00
Any idea what would cause a breakdown to warrant these parts? At a total loss but do feel some responsibility although details are sketchy at best.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah...Methinks the dealer took advantage here...>>
Though there may have been some random intermittent codes that once cleared would not have returned. Dealer made a poor diagnosis I believe. None of that stuff except coil paks (normal) woulld have caused a no-start breakdown.
