I love all Audis, but whenever they put an engine larger than a 3.0 and smaller than a V10, its a disaster waiting to happen

Remember when I said we haven’t had any problems with it? Change that to hadn’t had any problems with it.

Throttle slowly lost response over the period of about a minute, then the car started shaking really badly and the engine cut out completely. When you try to start it it makes a really rough backfiring sound, runs for about 3 seconds, then dies again.

MAF sensor or camshaft position sensor are the first things I’d check.

Dibs on the wheels.

Jk. Isn’t this a 4.2? I haven’t heard much bad about them. Good luck with getting it fixed.

Smack the bottom of the fuel tank on the right side while a helper cranks the car. You’ve described fuel pump failure to a tee (though it’s not the only possibility), and 9 times out of 10 you can confirm it and get it running by smacking the tank.

Yeah, it’s a 4.2. And thank you.

Good luck, hopefully it stays in good working order for years to come!

The 2.7TT was the S4, the TT got the 1.8T and the 3.2 VR6. I’d love to do a 2.7TT swapped TT though, that’d be a blast!

Yeah. My friend’s S4 wagon needed a tow this morning.

Okay, let me rephrase that. I know I did not run out of fuel.

You are a smart man. It was fuel pump failure.
