I had my engine check light come on on my Audi A4 and it was miss-firing and running poor so I brought it to my mechanic at European Motors on Lovers & Inwood. And at no cost he hooked his lap top computer to my car and found that the ignition coil was bad and explained that Audi Had a RECALL on this so I drove over to Park Cities Audi and they checked it in and then called back explaining that the Coil was replaced under the recall but the ECT senson was bad and that it would cost $510.00 to replace.
I said NO just do the work that the recall requires. When I picked my car up the amount was $0.00. it drove fine but the sensor light was still on. I drove it over to my mechanic and he cleared the sensor light for free with his lap top in less than 2 minutes. Bottom line is that the ECT sensor is not bad Park Cities Audi just did not clear it after installing the recall part and the Assistant Service Manager Doug Taylor lied to me and Park Cities Audi tried to scam me out of $510.00.
