1992 Audi 100 problems
The Audi 100 and Audi 200 (and sometimes called Audi 5000 in North America) are primarily mid-size/executive cars manufactured and marketed by the Audi division of the Volkswagen Group. The car was made from 1968 to 1997 across four generations (C1–C4), with a two-door model available in the first and second generation (C1-C2), and a five-door model available in the last three generations (C2–C4).
In 1982, the third generation Audi 100 achieved a remarkably low (for its time) drag coefficient of 0.30, featuring flush greenhouse sides with unique sliding window mountings.
The C2 and C3 models of the Audi 100 were marketed in North America as the Audi 5000 from 1978 to 1988, and in South Africa as the Audi 500.
In 1993, the models were mildly restyled, and renamed the Audi A6 series in conjunction with a general new Audi naming scheme, until they were replaced by a new generation of A6, internally code-named C5, in 1997. The Audi 100's traditional competitors include the Mercedes Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series.

Was Audi 100 a good car?
Audi 100 (1976 – 1984) At A Glance
Airy cabin, nice ergonomics and neat road manners marked it out as a very competent steer. And it was powered by the closest relative to Porsche's 924 'van' engine. However, the arrival of its inline five-cylinder engine in 1978 added some much needed charisma, and a fine soundtrack.
What is the common problem with Audi?
It's common for Audi owners to experience issues with the electrical components of their vehicles. Common issues include the central control module, malfunctioning sensors, or problems with the MMI system. It's worth noting that electrical problems can arise in any vehicle brand, and not all Audi models are affected.
Why is the Audi 100 important?
1982--The Audi 100 is a world record-breaker because of the 0.30 drag coefficient. 1983--Audi becomes the first German manufacturer to receive a general operating permit for cars with catalytic-converter technology, which reduces the toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine.
How many Audi 100 were made?
At the end of September 1977, the Audi 100 became the manufacturer's first model to reach a production level of 1,000,000 units.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2021-11-08
- Fire: 1
- VIN: WAUAJ54A0NN
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: test by aziz - please ignore
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2007-12-22
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
- Summary: 92 AUDI 100S, STUCK THROTTLE AND BRAKE BOOST FAILURE, PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. FOUND THE PROBLEM AND AM POSTING IT HERE. THIS CAN KILL SOMEONE. I HOPE NHTSA DOES SOMETHING. AUDI USA WILL NOT. SEE BELOW: FOUND THE PROBLEM. MANGLED PLASTIC DEBRIS IN THE THROTTLE BODY THAT WOULD HANG UP THE PLATE INTERMITTENTLY. SHAME ON ME FOR CALLING IT ACCELERATION WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY A STUCK THROTTLE. WHAT I LEARNED IS THAT THE SMALL BRIEF THROTTLE STABS YOU DO TO KEEP GOING UPHILL OR IN TRAFFIC CAN RESULT IN VERY HIGH RPMS IF THE THROTTLE STICKS AT MAX EXCURSION. IT MAKES YOU THINK THE ENGINE IS ACCELERATING. SHAME ON AUDI FOR NEVER EXAMINING THE THROTTLE BODY AND IGNORING THE PROBLEM POSED BY THE DISINTEGRATING PLASTIC NECK ON THE VALVE I MENTIONED IN EARLIER POSTS. THE DISINTEGRATION OF THAT THIN PLASTIC NECK APPARENTLY CAN RESULT IN SIMULTANEOUS STUCK THROTTLE (FROM DEBRIS GETTING SUCKED INTO THROTTLE BODY AND PREVENTING THE THROTTLE PLATE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE POSITION) AND LOSS OF BRAKE BOOST THROUGH THE VACUUM LEAK CAUSED BY THE BROKEN NECK. BTW, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR ON THE LAST RUNAWAY (ABOUT 5500 RPM), JUST GOT IT DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH EVEN WHEN I WAS STANDING ON THEM, HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL (WHICH TOOK THE RPMS TO REDLINE AND LIMITER) AND TURN OFF THE KEY. THAT REALLY SURPRISED ME. THIS PROBLEM COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE. I HAVE NOTIFIED AUDI USA AND NHTSA BUT NOBODY HAS TAKEN ANY ACTION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE I CAN DO TO PREVENT A TRAGEDY. REMEMBER, TWO OTHERS HAVE REPORTED RUNAWAY/ STUCK THROTTLES ON 92 100S. HOPEFULLY THE DEBRIS WOULD EVENTUALLY GET SUCKED OUT OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND CHEWED UP IN THE ENGINE, BUT MINE DIDN'T. IT HAD TO BE FOUND AND DISLODGED MANUALLY. WHILE IT REMAINS IN THE THROTTLE BODY, IT IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
EQUIPMENT PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2007-06-12
- VIN: WAUBJ54A3NN
- Components: EQUIPMENT
- Summary: RUNAWAY THROTTLE. UNCOMMANDED ENGAGEMENT OF CRUISE CONTROL? WOULD NOT RESPOND TO BRAKE OR SHUTTING CRUISE CONTROL OFF ON STEERING COLUMN STALK SWITCH. VERY DANGEROUS!!! ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH, VERY INEFFECTIVE BRAKING WITH ENGINE TRYING TO KEEP CAR GOING AT ABOUT 55 MPH, BUT I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR OFF. I PULLED THE CRUISE CONTROL FUSE AND PROBLEM HAS NOT REAPPEARED. I AM AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER.
EQUIPMENT PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2007-06-12
- VIN: WAUBJ54A3NN
- Components: EQUIPMENT
- Summary: DANGEROUS UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT EARLIER TODAY THAT SAID I THOUGHT IT WAS A CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM BUT IT ISNT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WITH THE CC FUSE PULLED!!! IT WAS PRECEDED BY A FUNNY FEELING IN THE BRAKES, LIKE NOT ENOUGH VACUUM BOOST, THEN RADICAL ENGINE ACCELERATION EVEN WITH MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE TACH REDLINED AND THEN I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION. STARTED IT AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I AM AN ENGINEER AND NEVER BELIEVED THE STORIES ABOUT AUDIS AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION... BUT NOW I KNOW IT CAN HAPPEN AND IT IS SUPER DANGEROUS!!!!
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2006-01-05
- VIN: WAUFJ54A9NN
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
- Summary: THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO COMPLAINT 10146994 FILED ON 1-05-06. IT CONCERNS THE RUSTED OUT FUEL LINES ON MY 100CS WAGON FROM AUDI. I HAVE STARTED TO TEAR DOWN TO REPLACE THE LINES, AND SEE WHERE THE MAIN ISSUE SEEMS TO BE. AT ALL OF THE MOUNTING POINTS FOR THE FUEL LINES ON THE UNDERBODY FROM THE FUEL TANK TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THE LINES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THERE WERE ACTUALLY 8 LEAKS INSTEAD OF THE THREE THAT I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT WERE PRESENT. DUE TO THE RUBBER MOUNTS BEING COMPRESSED AROUND THE LINES, NOT ALL OF THEM SHOWED THE LEAKS UNTIL THE MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE REMOVED. IT APPEARS THAT THE RUBBER MOUNTS THAT ARE USED HOLD WATER ETC. ALLOWING THE FUEL LINES TO BE PRONE TO RUST THROUGH IN THESE AREAS. IN CHECKING ONLINE FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AS WELL. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF PEOPLE REPLACING RUSTED FUEL LINES ON AUDI MODELS. I HAVE NOT MADE A BIG ISSUE OF IT WITH AUDI AS OF YET, ONLY CONTACTED THEM TO THE POINT THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE AS A RECALL. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS ACTION ON THIS AS IT CREATES A FUEL LEAK THAT CAN BE A SOURCE OF FIRE. MY GUESS IS THAT IF THESE LEAKS WERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE AN EASIER IGNITION SOURCE COULD BE FOUND, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG FIRE ISSUE AND RECALLED. *NM
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2005-12-05
- VIN: WAUFJ54A9NN
- Components: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
- Summary: RECENTLY PURCHASE A USED 1992 AUDI 100 CS WAGON. WHEN I GOT IT HOME AND IN THE GARAGE, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE GASOLINE ODOR. I NOTICED THE PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR, AND GOT UNDER THE CAR TO CHECK IT OUT. SURE ENOUGH, THERE WAS GAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINES IN MULTIPLE PLACES FROM THE TANK TO THE ENGINE BAY. ALL OF THE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED, TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS SPRUNG LEAKS. IN CHECKING AUDI ONLINE FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, WITH MOST PEOPLE SPLICING IN SECTIONS OF HOSE TO KEEP THEIR CARS RUNNING WITHOUT HAVING A PERSISTENT GAS LEAK. I WAS SUPRISED TO SEE THAT THE ONLY FUEL LINE RECALL ON THESE UNITS WAS 1993 AND 1994 MODELS. LUCKILY, I CAUGHT THIS THING BEFORE THEIR WAS AN IGNITION SOURCE TO CAUSE A FIRE. CURRENTLY, I AM PLANNING ON USING THE EVER POPULAR TUBE SPLICE UNTIL I DECIDE IF I WILL BEND MYSELF A NEW SET OF LINES SINCE REPLACEMENTS SEEM TO BE HARD TO COME BY. *NM

- Summary: I?VE A 92 AUDI 100 CS QUATRO, VIN [XXX]. IT APPEARS THAT NHTSA RECALL ID 97172000 WOULD COVER THIS CAR, AS THE VIN NUMBER IS IN THE RANGE OF APPLICABLE VEHICLES. AS I WRITE THIS, THE DEALER IS REPLACING THIS PART, THE AIRBAG CONTROLLER, BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTICS HAS INDICATED THAT IT HAS FAILED. THIS APPEARS TO FIT WITH THIS RECALL. HOWEVER, WHEN I TALK TO THE DEALER (CHECKERED FLAG, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA) AND THE AUDI SERVICE LINE THEY SAY THAT THIS RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY. THEY PLUG IT INTO THE COMPUTER AND IT SAYS IT DOESN'T APPLY. NOBODY CAN TELL ME IF THE RECALL WAS APPLIED. AND THE RANGE ON THE RECALL DOCUMENT SAYS: [XXX] - [XXX] WHICH CERTAINLY SEEMS TO FIT BY VIN NUMBER (SEE ABOVE) MY COMPLIANT ? EITHER THE RECALL IS NOT BEING HONORED OR THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND NOBODY IN THE AUDI CAN CONFIRM THAT IT HAS BEEN APPLIED. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR. SO I CAN'T CONFIRM THAT IT WASN'T APPLIED. HOWEVER, YOUR SYSTEM, SHOULD KEEP TRACK IF A PARTICULAR CAR HAS HAD THE RECALL APPLIED. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT I'VE GOT TO PAY $1300 FOR THE PART AND $300 FOR INSTALLATION. I WOULD LIKE AUDI TO (A) SHOW ME THE RECALL WAS APPLIED OR (B) REFUND ME $1600 (OR SO) FOR THE PART AND LABOR THAT YOU CHARGED ME. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Are you having problems with your 1992 Audi 100?
Gay Breitenberg 2024-11-07
This is the best used car I have ever owned! It's fast, reliable, handles excellently, and is super comfortable. Plus, it gets great gas mileage. In the seven years that I've owned this car, the only issue I've had was with the passenger power seat control. Other than that, it's just been routine oil changes and gas fill-ups, with one major tune-up.
Kareem Hills 2024-11-04
I can't express how much I love this car! It looks like it could be a 2000 or later model car and it's totally unstoppable in the snow. The 5 spd transmission is smooth as silk and everything still works after almost 20 years and 140k. The oil pressure gauge is a bit testy, but it's not a real mechanical concern as far as I know. I'm definitely keeping this car until it's dead. We're having a blizzard here in NY and I'm excited to go back out and drive around! :)
Jose Dicki 2024-10-26
This car has been amazing! The fit and finish are excellent and even after ten years, there are no rattles, rust or worn seats. It's incredibly comfortable on long trips and always feels secure, even at high speeds. I plan on keeping this car for as long as possible, and I'm sure it will last for at least another 75000 miles.
Everett Wilderman 2024-09-06
This car has been very dependable in terms of mileage, but unfortunately, I experienced a scary incident where the gas pedal got stuck and the car accelerated to a very high speed while I was trying to park. I had to slam on the brakes and turn off the engine to finally stop the car. Thankfully, the only damage was minor and I didn't hit anyone. It was a frightening experience and everyone around me was looking, but I made it clear that it was the car's fault, not mine. My car repairman suggested that it might have been an issue with the cruise control wires, but he wasn't entirely sure. After that incident, I only drove the car once and didn't feel comfortable driving it again.
Lee Parisian 2024-08-10
I recently purchased this Audi with very low miles and I must say, the vehicle has hardly aged. The design is not too dated and the interior quality is impeccable - definitely the most solid and well-crafted I have ever seen in a car over ten years old. Although I can echo other complaints about the coffee holder, it sounds petty, but seriously, there's nowhere to even jimmy-rig one. The car is a bit sluggish off the line and does shift rough at times - surprising considering it's a V6. But those are my few complaints. The gas mileage is great for the size (20mpg avg, city/highway), and the ride is soft without sacrificing crisp responsiveness. However, parts are hard to come by and can be pricey.
