Hello
Just purchased a 2002 A6 Avante, love the car, excellent styling, build quality etc, power is a little lacking (3.0 V6 Quattro), but overall have been extremely impressed with the details that Audi put into the car.
That was until the past weekend, where I had the pleasure of scooping out water from the rear passenger foot well. I have never seen so much water in a car, after looking on this forum, I found postings that mention a drain hole under the car battery. It was dark, I took the battery out and found a blocked hole, and unplugged it (there was a plastic plug in it), the pool of water that had collected around the battery drained, and the car doesnt seem to be collecting anymore water.
However, after spending hours getting the water out of the car, I'm now finding that the electrics and transmissions are royally screwed up, lots of flashing lights and warnings and irregular engine idling etc. EPS,ABS,Check Engine lights illuminiated, no gear selection indicator etc.
Anybody have this issue lately?
Have sent an email to Audi, and contacted my lawyer just in case.
I cannot believe that rain could kill a car like this? what happened to the "German Engineering" ???
Cheers
