I'm having some Issues on my 2000 Audi S4, and was wondering if any of you guys know anything about Audi/Volkswagon Igntion systems. So here is the deal, the engine is a 2.7 V6 Twin Turbo. I am having a misfire on cylinder #2. I changed the plugs. Still misfires. I switched the coilpacks with cylinder #1 and #2 to determine if the coilpack and/or wire was bad. Read the codes and still misfire on cylinder #2, so not the coilpack/wire. I than switched my ICMs (Ignition Control Module), each one controls each bank, Now I have a misfire on Cylinder #2 and #5, than I switched the ICMs back and just a misire on cylinder #2. So I am 90% sure that it is my ICMs, or at least one of them. Any Ideas?

Sounds like an Audi.

Super-sweet cars when they are running right but most of my co-workers that own them had their anal cavities enlarged by their mechanics at some point.

Bro in law had a similar problem. They did all the diagnostics and ended up with new plugs, wires, coils. At least that ruled out those issues. Then they fooled around with it a bit more and his brake lights stopped working. They traced that back to the other issues and couldn't find the problem. After spending a couple weeks at the shop, and it was raining most of the time, they said they fixed it. Well, when he got it back it smelled pretty moldy inside only to find out the trunk and rear window was leaking.

He dumped it and bought a Benz. Hasn't had a problem since.

Anybody ever see and Audi on the road and all of the lights work? I haven't.


Good luck Blades. Maybe your problem has more to do with karma....?

Karma? How so?

I ordered some new ICMs today, hopefully it runs good after that. Other than this issue which is just a small ignition malfunction, the car has been great and is a ton of fun to drive.

I'm picking up a GMC Yukon as soon as I find the right vehicle.

In my experience and from others opinons that I have read lately about Toyota, Nissan, and other foreign cars, is that a lot of little things are breaking on later model vehicles. Cheap plastic parts, poor design etc. are leading to a general consesnus that the addage of "foreign cars being more reliable" is fading away, rapido!

-2

Have you ridden in a new American made rig lately, there are exceptions, but most are grade A crap. I had the unfortunate pleasure of renting a dodge Journey on a recent trip.. Quite possibly the biggest POS I have ever driven.

+1 on Toyotas, between the 2 I own I have nearly 500k on them add the one I sold a few years back and I have gotten nearly 700K of virtually trouble free mileage. I would guess less than 3K in total repair bills.

I agree with Stam. Can't fathom which Ameican cars those would be that are more reliable than foreign brands when it comes to driving forever. I also admit that many European models are champs when it comes to keeping the little stuff working, like lights, signals especially. Must be a shortage of electical engineers over there.

Just had the 120 K tune up on the Outback last week. Should be good for the next 100 K.

I'm only referrring to cars made in the last few years. Lets say 2004 and newer.

I am just getting out of a Nissan Pathfinder, and wont buy another Nissan . [censored] is falling off that car left and right including trim pieces and weatherstripping breaking and coming unglued, Plastic parts on the interior breaking, Switches breaking etc. I've read reviews about the Toyota Sequoias having a lot of problems with the fit and finish that leads to my post, handles break, lights not working, etc. Just my observations of late as I'm in the market looking for a full sized SUV. GM seems to be leading the Game in that dept.

I agre ethat over the last 20 years Forqign auto makes have put domestics to shame. Too bad the execs here in america wont throw themselves out a window if they fail to meet whats expected of them..

One theme seems to prevail in favor of foreign cars from Japan, Import automakers are more concerned about building a quality product. Domestic automakers seem more concerned about making a big profit.

Japanes automakers are never concerned about profits, they just want to gift us incredible cars that never break, hardly use any fuel, actually improve the environment and they want to do it for free because they like us. While the domestics want to sell us unreliable fuel hungry death traps that spew noctious chemicals into the atmosphere at huge profits because they are a bunch of devil worshippers.

I have to go, my Tundra just finished cooking my fresh crepes for brunch. After which in need to go to the bank to deposit the Gold Eggs my wifes RAV-4 laid. Thank you Japan.
Your friend, the Fat, lazy, uneducated american.


P.S. I’ll keep sending wock-n-woll and bwue deans.
