Known issues on the 2005 A4 Quattro. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, three of them tied to the passenger frontal air bag inflator module: propellant degradation in the inflator can cause it to explode or rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the driver or other occupants and risking serious injury or death. A fourth recall covers aftermarket timing-belt water pumps sold for use on this engine, where a failed pump can cause the timing belt to fail and shut the engine down, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 219 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting an air bag module, tracing a timing belt and water pump job, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 A4 Quattro.
