approximately under 15mph in just seconds engine loses power and its a safety hazard while on the freeway . Audi dealer claims I have fuel contamination but when asked to prove to me this through fuel being sent to the lab they have no such lab results . They just claim I had this in order not to honor my warranty which is very fishy since I bought vehicle once they sold it out to the public after recall had been supposively fixed for emissions. I had fuel pumps replaced fuel pressure regulators and injectors as well all paid out of pocket vehicle still states code poo88 and code p0087 changed fuel filter also and now catalyc converter code is on also I feel they need to honor my warranty since fuel was never tested through a lab and its just by word of mouth that they claim I had contamination . Vehicle still being worked on but all costs out are out of my pocket eventhough my warranty booklet from the manufacturer states I should be covered for fuel rails, pumps, catalyc converte etc..
