I bought an 03 a4 quattro 3.0 v6 with the 6 speed manual about 6 months ago. Has anyone had trouble with their A/C compressor exploding?
Mine blew up in the middle of the mojave desert. Had to get it towed to a local German shop. When I got there guess what? There was another a4 same year and model with the same problem.
I went in the next day to talk with the mechanic and what was being towed in? Another 03 a4 with the same problem. Has there been a recall I am not aware of? 3 2003 a4 3.0 liters all with exploded A/C compressors...
