LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON 3,000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE. NOTICED OIL ON GROUND UNDER VEHICLE WHERE IT IS PARKED IN GARAGE. TOOK IT BACK TO AUDI SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WENT OVER IT AND SAID THAT IT NEEDS THE PCV (PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE) REPLACED AS THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN THE PAST ON SIMILAR ENGINES AND IT FIXES THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A VALVE THAT IS NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY AND OIL IS PASSING THROUGH AND IS BEING CONSUMED. THEY SAID THAT THE NEW PCV HAS A DIFFERENT PART NUMBER THAN THE ORIGINAL PCV AND IS MADE BETTER. IF NOT FIXED, IT COULD LEAD TO MORE EXPENSIVE MOTOR REPAIRS. I'M HAVING THE PCV REPLACED TOMORROW AT THE AUDI SERVICE CENTER FOR A COST OF $1,700 AND I HOPE THIS FIXES THE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY AUDI HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT. SINCE THEY SAID THE ORIGINAL PART HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A "NEW AND IMPROVED" PART, SHOULDN'T AUDI RECALL THE ORIGINAL PCV AND OFFER A REPLACEMENT PCV SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE? THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS OCCUR ON SIMILAR ENGINES WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE THAT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE PCV COULD STAY OPEN AND YOU LOSE ALL ENGINE OIL AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 80 MPH?

THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER PRESSURE LINE GOT A HOLE IN IT AND LEAKED ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS PLASTIC THAT WAS VISIBLY SEEN RUBBING AGAINST THIS METAL LINE WHICH OVER TIME WORE THE LINE DOWN SO MUCH THAT IT CREATED A HOLE ALLOWING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR NOT WANTING TO SHIFT, DOWN-SHIT ETC WHEN I FINALLY PULLED OVER NOTICED IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ONCE THE FLUID WAS JUST ABOUT OUT THE AUDI WARNING SYSTEM FINALLY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. A TAD LATE IF YOU ASK ME. THE CAR WAS STARTING TO REV UP THE RPM'S THEN SUDDENLY IT WOULD SLAM INTO GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE LINE REPLACED AND NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M DUE FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO ALL OF THIS. THE MECHANIC EVEN STATED HE HAS NEVER SEEN PLASTIC WEAR THROUGH METAL NOR HAVE I.. I QUESTION WHAT PATHETICALLY WEAK METAL WAS USED ON A HIGH PRESSURE LINE THAT WOULD ALLOW PLASTIC TO EVENTUALLY RUB THROUGH IT ALL. I'VE ASKED THE SHOP TO KEEP THE LINE AND TO SNAP SOME PICTURES FOR ME, SO I'M HOPING I WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO UPLOAD THESE ONCE I RECEIVE THEM.

PULLING OUT MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP, VEHICLE SUDDENLY HESITATED, POWER TO ENGINE WAS INTERMITTENT AND JERKY, AND ACCELERATION WAS POOR TO NONE. MANY WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON (STABILITY, TIRE PRESSURE, ANTI-LOCK, ETC.). STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO SHAKING SLIGHTLY (POWER STEERING MOTOR?). CONDITION CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A MILE WHILE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO HOME. TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. ON INITIAL CALL TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD "THEY DO THAT SOMETIMES; YOU NEED TO TURN OFF/ON TO REBOOT SYSTEM". AFTER TAKING FOR SERVICE FOUR DAYS LATER NO ISSUES WERE FOUND OTHER THAN SOME "MISFIRING" CODES ON DATE OF EVENT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A SITUATION THEY'VE SEEN AND NO SERVICE BULLETINS EXISTED ON THE BEHAVIOR. AS THE INITIAL PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF/ON IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT THE INITIAL INFORMATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS CORRECT AND THIS IS A COMPUTER CONTROL PROBLEM. WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE NEW AND NOT EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BEFORE. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT A LOSS OF POWER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS A VERY SERIOUS FAILURE. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT "HAPPENS SOMETIMES AND YOU NEED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF/ON TO REBOOT THE COMPUTER", IT NEEDS ATTENTION AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED AS A SINGLE OCCURRENCE IS ONE TOO MANY.

The Office of Defects Investgation (ODI) opened EA11-003 on February 7, 2011, based on 160 complaints to ODI and Volkswagen involving high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failures in model year (MY) 2009 through 2010 Volkswagen Jetta and Golf and Audi A3 TDI vehicles and questions regarding fuel sample results provided by Volkswagen as part of its response to PE10-034.During EA11-003, ODI analyzed design information, field experience and test data for MY 2009 through 2012 Volkswagen Jetta, Golf and Touareg and Audi A3 and Q7 vehicles equipped with TDI engines. Volkswagen has not identified any design or manufacturing defects in the subject TDI Clean Diesel pumps and has stated that the subject pumps were designed, tested and approved for use in the United States market, with substantial design margins for fuels that are out of specification.Volkswagen believes that misfueling with gasoline is the primary cause of HPFP drivetrain failures in the field.Only the Q7 vehicles were built with misfuel protection devices.In May 2013 Volkswagen initiated a service campaign to install misfuel protection devices in all MY 2009 through 2012 Jetta, Golf and A3 vehicles.Volkswagen implemented misfuel protection devices in all of the subject models beginning in MY 2013. ODI?s analysis of HPFP drivetrain failure incidents indicates that most failures do not result in engine stall while driving and, when pump drivetrain failure does result in stall while driving, it is usually preceded by numerous warning symptoms (e.g., glow plug warning lamp, chime, limp mode, and driveability symptoms).The failure data for the subject vehicles show relatively low stalling rates (less than one percent at three years in service) for each of the pump designs used in the subject vehicles.There have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to the alleged defect. Based on these facts, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.For additional information, see the closing report in the document file for EA11-003.
