Problems with 2004 Audi A6 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Replaced cylinder bank 1 right side! *tr

I am writing about my 2004 a6 avant, which has 78,000 miles. at a recent oil service at an independent garage, it was suggested that there was a problem with the catalytic converters. exhaust was leaking from both sides, i was told. i took the car to my audi dealer, where they checked the exhaust system. the mechanic who examined the car concurred that the catalytic converters needed to be replaced. under a federally mandated warranty, the catalytic converters are covered for eight years or 80,000 miles. yet the dealer has declined to cover replacement because the "check engine" light was not on. i was given a repair estimate of $2,400. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 audi a6 avant. the contact stated that the check engine light had been illuminating intermittently. the dealer stated that the contact should not worry about the light. while driving 65 mph, the contact swerved to miss a deer and lost control of the vehicle. it began to rock back and forth and the brakes were inoperative. the contact hit guardrails on both the driver and passenger sides. the vehicle then tipped on its side and went into a ravine. the engine was still running and the wheels were still spinning. the air bags did not deploy. the contact suffered injuries to the collar bone, ribs, a concussion, and lost teeth. the dealer stated that there could have been a problem with the computer. the vehicle was destroyed. the current and failure mileages were approximately 190,000. updated 04/08/11
