| I experienced failure of abs in a 2000 audi a4 avant quattro. this is the well-known and widely reported problem with the bosch 5.3 abs control module unit. the unit spontaneously failed without any reason, at about 80k miles. the consequences are the abs does not work and the part to replace it is about $1500. i have yet to replace or repair it at this point, hoping vw/audi will do something about it (a recall would be nice). *jb | |||

| The heat shields above my catalytic converters caught fire and had to be replaced, at a large expense to me. upon receipt of the replacement parts, it was noticed that the parts had been redesigned. i believe that the manufacturer has found a fundamental issue with their original design and is quietly replacing them. the problem with this is that it takes your car catching on fire to know you need to replace them. *tr | |||
