2013 Audi AllroadElectrical systemEngine & coolingFire

A check engine light and "dtc" light came on the dash while driving, but the car had no symptoms of fault otherwise. During one following day, I was in the garage where the car was parked, was not running and unlocked with keys inside, and smelled an electrical fire. I opened the hood and found a softball sized fire burning from an electrical connector coming from the side of the engine. After putting the fire out, I found a blown 'engine management' fuse which may be originally triggered the dashboard faults. I could not disconnect the connector because it has melted together, but am hoping the blown fuse was for that circuit so no electricity is flowing through.

2013 Audi AllroadEngine & cooling

On feb. 14Th 2019 I took my audi in for a campaign recall for "after run pump" and "aux heater". I got the car back on feb. 22Nd 2019 (over a week in the shop). On mar. 3Rd 2019 I drove 40 miles home from work and stopped for gas without any issues. Upon getting to my driveway and put the car in reverse and backed halfway up my driveway, the car engine made a laud noise and stopped. The cabin filed with smoke and smoke was coming out from under the hood. I got out and grabbed a fire extinguisher but did not...

use it. There was not warning prior to the incident. This happen at 3:40 pm and the car was towed to the dealer at 6:34 pm. Audi called the next day at 4:04 pm with the news that the engine was damaged and that the cam shaft was possibly bend and unable to "turn over". I was informed at I needed a new engine at the cost would be between $10,000 and 12,000. I don't understand that after a little over a week having the car back from the repair at the dealer, that the engine is so broken that I need a new one. The smell from the incident smelled like coolant. No indications that the car was over heated and not other warnings. I believe this has to do with the campaign recall for the "after run pump" and the dealer should repair the damaged and me not paying for a new engine. Please help me in getting this resolved with the audi dealer of tacoma, wa. Thank you in advance for your help.

Audi safety recall 19n4-electric (after run) coolant pump. I have been waiting now about 6 months for a new pump to be available from audi to replace the defective cooling pump, that is to cool the turbocharger after the engine is turned off. I was told, in writing and over the phone by audi, that this replacement would be done by the end of 2018. Today when I called audi they will only say it is to be completed by the end of 2019. Not having the after run pump properly cooling the turbocharger can cause damage...

to the turbocharger and that can be very costly to repair. Also, if I want to sell or trade in this car now, with out the replacement pump, the value of the car is worth less and I will loose money due to this issue. What can be done to get this pump replaced as audi said they would originally?

Recall nhtsa: 18v229 sounds critical and unsafe. Audi even states in letter do not park in garage due to liability. Will not payoff my car in order to obtain a new one. Tried two dealerships and all they care about is making a buck. Should at least provide a rental till repairs are made or pay off my car for trade in with audi financial.
