Coolant pump- audi action code-19l2-"the coolant pump may develop a small leak over time." My audi suffered a coolant leak and had to fix for $1100 in diagnosis/repairs. I repaired it on my own and later I learned that there was a recall from audi. I need to get my reimbursement for the money I put up to fix coolant leak.

Engine complaints
I was at the tail end of a 400 mile trip-all freeway driving. After exiting the freeway, the car was slowly losing power. The glow plug light came on. Car stalled after 1/2 mile. I tried to restart it. It would not start. The glow plug and check engine light were on. Towed to dealership to find the high pressure fuel pump send metal into my fuel system and engine. I have just over 50,000 miles on the car. The repair is covered due to the faulty part. Audi should have to take the car back because they knew about...

this problem. Instead of doing a recall, they allowed the car to be driven and now my engine is affected. I tried to arrange a trade-in at a local subaru dealership and they offered me low blue book minus $10,000. My car is not only undesirable, but worthless.
The vehicle started loosing power and stalling. The engine light came up. I took the car the dealer. They diagnosed the problem as a high-pressure fuel pump that has disintegrated and damaged the entire fuel system. *Tr
I was driving along the ny state thruway in albany at 65-70 miles an hour. I realized I was unable to accelerate and saw that the glow plug light was flashing.

together enough to call aaa. They called the police to help me with traffic. I was pushed to the side of the road dodging cars and trying not to get hit. Aaa came 1 hour later; it was 12:00pm, hot and humid on the labor day holiday! They towed me to the nearest audi dealer which was 20 miles away. I had to pay for the extra miles. I am 3 hours from home with no idea what I am going to do. My daughter had to come pick me up and drive me back home. Now my car is in albany and I am in massachusetts. I don't know what is wrong with my car or how I am going to get my car back. This was a very scary, unacceptable incident! *Tr
Fuel pump imploded and sent shrapnel throughout the entire fuel system. Everything had to be replaced. *Tr
