(VW) is recalling certain 2000-2001 TT Roadster, 2000 TT Coupe, 1999 Audi A8, 1998-2000 Audi A6, and 1999-2000 Audi A4 vehicles equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) that do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb…
Risk and remedy
Risk
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, the air bag may not properly protect the occupant, increasing the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the driver frontal air bag inflator with an alternative inflator when the parts become available, free of charge. Owner notifications were mailed September 21, 2021. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 69BT.
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with halogen low beam headlights, certain connector pins in the headlight switch connector come into contact with each other causing a short circuit. note: vehicles with xenon low beam headlights are not affected because the circuit in these vehicles contains a fuse, which precludes excessive current flow in the…
Risk and remedy
Risk
This condition could lead to overheating or fire.
Remedy
Dealers will reroute the wiring harness by installing a jumper wiring harness. the recall began on december 16, 2006. owners may contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
On certain passenger vehicles, if a driver's knees push against the knee bolster (crash element) located under the dashboard, it can contact the headlight switch wiring harness, and an electrical short could occur.
Risk and remedy
Risk
A fire could originate in the left dashboard area.
Remedy
Dealers will install a protective covering on the knee bolster (crash element). in addition, the wiring harness as well as the felt protector on the left side of the dashboard carrier will be checked, and replaced if necessary. The recall began on july 26, 2004. owners should contact audi at 1-800-822-2834.
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. sulfur in fuel interacts with certain additives found in widely available gasoline causing sulfur to become deposited on the contact points of three fuel sending units mounted inside the fuel tank. this could cause the fuel gauge to read full while the fuel tank may not in fact be full or could be empty.
Risk and remedy
Risk
Running out of fuel without warning while the fuel gauge indicates that there IS sufficient fuel in the tank lead to safety problems.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the existing fuel level sending units and replace them with fuel level sending units using a new alloy composed of gold, silver, and a small amount of nickel, which will not chemically react with sulfur. vw/audi will also call back vehicles that were repaired under a previous recall last june in order to install the updated fuel sending units nhtsa 00v137/audi lb). owner notification began may 1, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact audi at 1-866-892-2834.

The first time this car had any problems with anything leaking was a couple days ago when we woke up in middle of the night to house and garage smelling like gas. On driver's side rear by passenger door there was a small leak looked like oil but smelled of gas and underneath car you can see wear a small crack IS at in fuel system. I see many recalls for same thing for different years and complaints filed for this same problem and year. No recall notices was ever received by myself or previous two owners who was friends or it would have been fixed. I am upset because now it won't be fixed under recall because it's been so long however there was no close date on reports it shows several thousand cars never got the repair and was not notified. This IS a huge safety issue that not only can start car on fire but house on fire if parked in garage. Now I am suppose to pay for the cost on something that was not put together correctly and IS a safety hazzard because I was not warned about it by mail or when car was serviced and never had trouble till now and there are tons of customers you are not helping with same problem year make and model of car. If this results in death than it will become a more serious problem on your hand for not fixing a recall that has been known to be problems on several years of audi's and not all audi owners was reach or repairs done and now when we are finding out we are being turned away. If this was not something hazardous or life threatening that's one thing but something so dangerous that can take a life you should make sure every recall that IS safety related and hazardous fix regardless of when notice if found. I am expecting the recalls for all fuel related problems on all audi be fixed when customers call to inquire and not be turned away after we are sent to dealer to have it looked at.

Hello! today I was at the sams club gas station to fill up my vehicle, 2000 audi A6 with the 4.2 engine. when I finished, I went over to the driver side, where ive seen a huge amount of gas on the ground. the fuel was leaking really bad from my car. The sam's club even called the fired department and the police there too. it leaked out a lot couple gallons from my vehicle. thanks god the gas station had a small incline so I could notice it right before I would drive away. just thinking that I would drive away and something serious would happen it scares me. as I understand a lot of audis are recalled because of this issue. Mine IS not under the recall. what can I do to get mine under the recall too? please help me. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

After filling gas tank, gas began leaking as a steady stream from left front side of gas tank, near the rear driver's wheel well. Owner contacted audi dealership and audi of america. Owner paid for dealer inspection to diagnose leaking gas issue. Dealer stated the tank was leaking and needed to be replaced. Audi of america contacted owner on 3/20/2014 and stated the service manager of audi of ann arbor, mi had decided they would not cover the repair due to vehicle "mileage and age." audi of america stated since vehicle was outside of recall range (2001-2005 my), they would not assist with repairs. independent owner research shows multiple leaking gas tank issues (broken rollover valve nipple) with this vehicle, and matching part numbers between 2001-2005 my gas tanks and 2000 my gas tank. *tr

First incident march 2006 leaky gas tank had to be replaced, cost to us $2,249.27, audi denied responsibility. Requested audi to report this issue to authorities. Second incident, 7/30/13 (mileage 163,016): very strong gasoline odor. The mechanic removed rear seat and found fuel staining all around the sending unit. fuel tank must again be replaced. this will be our third tank counting the original one installed at the factory. In 2008 audi issued safety recall circular code: 2ol8/jy revised in january 2009. my first fuel tank failure occurred 2 years before the recall. the audi recall covers model years 2001 through 2005. my car IS 2000 with the same defect as in later models. 2000 model should have been included in the recall. I find it incredible that audi did not know that the identical safety defect was in the 2000 model. The 2006 fuel tank and parts were purchased new from audi and should be the newer design fuel tank (if there had been any redesign by then). also, as a 2006 fuel tank, repairs should be covered by the 2008 recall. audi does not appear to have publicly recognized its design failure, and was not explicit about the problem details and the fix for the fuel tank safety problem until the 2008 recall. using a copy of the 2008 recall notice I telephoned customer relations at audi of america in rochester hills, mi (1-800-253-2834). audi assigned me a case no. #130535300, and told me to take the car to an audi dealer. since the car was unsafe to drive it was towed to a dealer on 8/9/13. I have spent $871.25 at my mechanic's to identify the defect and to tow the car to audi. on 8/19/13 the audi dealer called to state that audi was not responsible for the repair and replacement of the fuel tank. I am the original owner with same address and car registration, yet never received a recall notice. we have been driving a molotov cocktail.

Last month I filled up my tank & after doing so had a very strong smell of gas in the cabin. I took it to an independent mechanic & he told me that I have a broken rollover valve. To replace the tank costs $2500. This IS potentially a very serious issue given leaking gas! after research I found there IS a recall to reinforce the valve with epoxy. Unfortunately the recall IS for 2001-2004 models & mine IS a 2000. The issue on my 2000 IS the exact same tank/valve. I next contacted audi customer service to get a case # hoping they'd take responsibility. They created the case but told me until the issue IS verified by an audi dealer they can't do anything. Doing so would come with no guarantees. I called the dealer & they said the cost of a diagnostic IS $109. so I took it to the dealer for a diagnostic to validate the independent mechanic?s analysis. The dealership called today & confirmed the issue from the independent. Cost to patch IS $452+tax (rather than completely replace the tank for $2500). This IS the same resolution as the recall which IS to epoxy the valve. They told me to expect a call from aoa as they just got off the phone with them & aoa would not be paying for the fix (which again IS identical to the recall resolution). Aoa called & said the main reason for not paying was that the car has 169K miles & a secondary reason that I had stopped taking it to the audi dealership. Why should mileage matter on a known safety issue? if my car was a 2001 with 300K miles would they not have sent the recall notice? Regardless of mileage this IS a known design fault that audi has acknowledged. My 2000 has the exact same issue to a t that they are addressing with the 2001-2004 models. I believe that since audi has acknowledged this, that it IS a major safety issue & it?s exactly the same issue with the 2001-2004 models that they should pay for the repair. *tr

Strong fuel fumes are present inside the car's cabin while driving or stationary with the engine both on and off. upon inspection by an automotive tech, fuel IS dripping from the fuel tank area on the driver's side under the rear seats. fuel will continue to drip out until the fuel tank IS at about 1/2 full. the rear seat bench was removed to gain access to part of the fuel tank and there IS visible wet spots from fuel spilling out the tank. the tech found a hose that connects to a plastic valve on the fuel tank. the plastic valve IS cracked and IS leaking fuel. there IS a recall from the manufacturer to repair this problem for the vehicles made in 2001 and newer but not 2000. the 2000 A6 IS identical to the 2001 A6, why isn't a 2000 covered in this recall? please amend the recall to cover 2000 A6 cars. *tr

Hi audi refuses to fix this problem because my car IS 2000 model , but it has 6 in the vin as for recall requirements in recall yup guys issued , I think 2000 models should be included also as I have same problem as for recall for 2001 models also as said before have that 6 in my vin number . Can you please guys review this problem , as 2000 models should be covered . if that model has a 6 in its designation, you might want to have a look at its valve... Nipples, because the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) says there IS something wrong with them. silly jokes aside, the safety organization has just released a recall notice for certain model year 2001-2004 audi A6, 2002-2003 model year S6 and 2003 model year RS6 vehicles, all equipped with 4.2-liter V8 engines and manufactured from june 19TH, 2001, until june 8TH, 2004. a total of 5,992 audis bearing the number 6 in their title are affected and will be recalled in the states over a potential problem described as the rollover valve nipple. ?the aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple,? The official nhtsa press release reads. as a result, a fuel leak may happen according to audi, which could eventually lead to a fire if an ignition source IS nearby. It?s nice to know that the german carmakers make mistakes too - it lets us now that they are human as well. the recall IS expected to begin during june 2011. To fix the problem, dealers will reinforce the nipple on the rollover valve to prevent leakage or repair the nipple crack. It's highly recommended that you leave your cracked nipples to be inspected by a professional and not do it yourself. *tr

The center instument cluster has been in and out for as long as I have owned the car. Some days, when the planets align correctly, the display will be mostly visible. On most days, however, most pixels are not visible, some are faded, and certain critical warnings cannot be seen...you can hear the beeping, but have no clue what IS failing! If this were a plug and play part I would have replaced it by now...but the whole thought of having to solder the lcd in discourages a fix. This IS an inherent issue with the C5 line...cannot believe audi has never recalled for this issue! Clearly this IS a problem. *js

- 10210679This condition may be caused when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed simultaneously. Drivers who drive with their left foot resting on the brake pedal are prone to experience this condition. With the introduction of Electronic Power Control (EPC) (no accelerator cable) to fuel injection systems, an engine RPM control feature has been incorporated into the engine electronic control system software. Customer states that the engine returns to idle speed of approximately 1,400 RPM although the accelerator is depressed, and/or the vehicle hesitates (lacks power on take-off).
- 10210650This condition may be caused when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed simultaneously. Drivers who consciously or unconsciously drive with their left foot resting on the brake pedal are prone to experience this condition. With the introduction of Electronic Power Control (EPC) (no accelerator cable) to fuel injection systems, an engine RPM control feature has been incorporated into the engine electronic control system software. As a result, application of the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time (brake pedal with left foot and accelerator pedal with right foot) results in the following: ? Brake pedal function (normal at all times) overrides any throttle application. ? Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will not be stored. ? When the brake pedal is applied while the accelerator is depressed, engine RPMs will return to idle speeds of 1400 RPMs after approximately two seconds. ? When the accelerator is applied while the brake pedal is depressed, the vehicle accelerates slower than usual (reduced engine torque).
