1998 Audi Cabriolet Problems
Cabriolet Convertible Top Mechanism May Fail Due to Hydraulic Fluid Leaks
The Cabriolet convertible top mechanism can fail due to hydraulic fluid leaks. The fluid reservoir is a common failure.
Engine Oil leak From Valley Pan Gasket and/or Head Gasket
An External oil leak may develop from the valley pan gasket (under the intake manifold) and/or the head gasket.
Inspection of Water Pump and Timing Belt
The water pump may fail resulting in engine overheating and possible timing belt damage. Overheating and/or timing belt failure can result in very expensive engine repairs. As a precaution, it is recommended to inspect the timing belt and water pump at regular intervals.
Multi-Link Suspension Components May Wear Prematurely
Premature wear in various multi-link suspension components can cause noises that are difficult to diagnose. Worn suspension parts can also cause uneven tire wear and create steering alignment problems.
Smoke Coming Through Dash Vents
After the car has been driven for about 15 mins and I am sitting at a light (or idle) and the motor fan kicks on, it sends a faint smoke through my vents once the fan kicks off and with that smoke, it leaves a light brown oily film. What could this be? I am baffled, to say the very least!
