Owner report 10086255 · 2004-08-05 (August 5, 2004)
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT RANDOMLY LOOSES TENSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED OFTEN WHEN LEANING FORWARD IN AN ATTEMPT TO SEE BETTER AROUND A TURN OR AT NIGHT. SEATBELT REQUIRES MANY YANKS AND MUCH MOVEMENT TO REGAIN TENSION, WHICH TENDS TO BE EASILY LOST AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN SOME SITUATIONS WHERE AN ACCIDENT WOULD BEEN MUCH MORE DANGEROUS DUE TO THE BELT.*AK

Owner report 10086256 · 2004-08-05 (August 5, 2004)
FUEL INJECTORS ARE FAILING ON THE CAR, AS THEY HAVE FOR MANY OTHERS. THIS HAS CAUSED ROUGH RUNNING, VERY POOR PERFORMANCE, HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION, ETC. I FOUND THAT AUDI NO LONGER MAKES THE INJECTORS, MAKING THEM DIFFICULT TO ATTAIN/AFFORD. I AM CURRENTLY FORCED TO LOOK INTO HAVING ADAPTORS MACHINED FOR OTHER ADAPTORS TO FIT. THIS MAY NOT COMPLY WITH EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS.*AK
