Dunno bout audi but for peugeot that day kena gearbox malfunction cannot go above 3rd gear, pump full full error cleared by itself. TPMS also failed and found a specialist to turn the system off since the sensor cost RM600++ for a single wheel

I hope you didnt go below 50km left before pumping petrol.

All the errors and real problems will come out, cant even engage gear or reverse, I ask my mechanic why like this, he said cars with High Pressure Pump is like that. Unlike Japanese cars that cruise to a stop if no petrol, with a car with High Pressure Pump, you will be in a world of hurt (heartache).

i think most local people don't know what it takes to maintain a continental cars, that's why you see second hand ones are so badly used, it all depends on how the owner take care. See me your good Audi at very good price i will still ride it any day, but i doubt it's possible that it's good condition and you want to sell at the same time.

If i buy another Conti car

1. Service the car with expensive oil and if service is 10K, i do it in 5K interval. Yes, because the service schedule sucks. And Never ever use the free oil given.

2. Drive it like its made of glass, no over 200kmh runs, infact, drive it max 80 only. And avoid potholes like a plague. Use 70 series tires for ultra protection from potholes and extend suspension system. It will look apek. But better than spending RM4K on an absorber.

3. Fit your own petrol filter before the petrol pump. Change it always. Because those Bosch petrol pumps are ultra sensetive and dies like flies. And you know how Malaysia petrol is.

4. As you may know, Conti aircon is also useless and trouble shooting the problem is a headache and suck your money. So change those filters more frequently and add additional Brothers 3M cabin filter.

5. Make sure when the warranty ends, your loan with the bank is breakeven. Cos when problem start to occur, and you need to sell the car, no need to pay the bank for nothing. So standby a huge deposit..or monthly payments.

6. Always have another car for standby, preferably Japanese car. And keep those tow truck numbers with you. Cos you never know, but it will always happen to you.

7. Find a good boss who understands your problems and have lots of annual leave. You can also request for MC from the Service Center. Yes, conti cars also got MC because sick, and they get sick more often than the owners... Owners need to standby emergency pill if heart attack from exprnsive bills.

8. Never fit any electrical accesories that will void the warranty, cos when its time to burn the car, insurance will pay you.

Cabut... LoL
