If these pieces are not removed prior to the installation and operation of the replacement engine, the pieces may be drawn into the combustion chamber, which can cause a knocking noise and subsequent serious engine damage.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10216638-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10216638-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10216638","components":[{"id":"driver-assistance","name":"Driver assistance","parent":null},{"id":"backup-camera","name":"Backup camera","parent":"driver-assistance"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"AUDI","model":"100","year_from":1998,"year_to":1998,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"100","year_from":2001,"year_to":2001,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"90","year_from":1998,"year_to":2000,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":1998,"year_to":2005,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A3","year_from":2006,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2006_audi_a3","2007_audi_a3"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A4","year_from":1998,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["1998_audi_a4","1999_audi_a4","2000_audi_a4","2001_audi_a4","2002_audi_a4","2003_audi_a4","2004_audi_a4","2005_audi_a4","2006_audi_a4","2007_audi_a4"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A4 CABRIOLET","year_from":2006,"year_to":2007,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A6","year_from":1998,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["1998_audi_a6","1999_audi_a6","2000_audi_a6","2001_audi_a6","2002_audi_a6","2003_audi_a6","2004_audi_a6","2005_audi_a6","2006_audi_a6","2007_audi_a6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A7","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"A8","year_from":1998,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["1998_audi_a8","1999_audi_a8","2000_audi_a8","2001_audi_a8","2002_audi_a8","2003_audi_a8","2004_audi_a8","2005_audi_a8","2006_audi_a8","2007_audi_a8"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"ALLROAD","year_from":1998,"year_to":2000,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"ALLROAD","year_from":2001,"year_to":2005,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2001_audi_allroad","2002_audi_allroad","2003_audi_allroad","2004_audi_allroad","2005_audi_allroad"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q7","year_from":2006,"year_to":2006,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"Q7","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_audi_q7"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"R8","year_from":2006,"year_to":2007,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"RS 4","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_audi_rs-4"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"RS4","year_from":2004,"year_to":2004,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"RS6","year_from":2003,"year_to":2004,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2003_audi_rs-6","2004_audi_rs-6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"RS6","year_from":2005,"year_to":2007,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S3","year_from":2000,"year_to":2001,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","year_from":1998,"year_to":1999,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","year_from":2000,"year_to":2002,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2000_audi_s4","2001_audi_s4","2002_audi_s4"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","year_from":2003,"year_to":2003,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S4","year_from":2004,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2004_audi_s4","2005_audi_s4","2006_audi_s4","2007_audi_s4"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S6","year_from":1998,"year_to":2001,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S6","year_from":2002,"year_to":2003,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2002_audi_s6","2003_audi_s6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S6","year_from":2004,"year_to":2006,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S6","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_audi_s6"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S8","year_from":1998,"year_to":2000,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S8","year_from":2001,"year_to":2003,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2001_audi_s8","2002_audi_s8","2003_audi_s8"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"S8","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_audi_s8"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"TT","year_from":1999,"year_to":1999,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"TT","year_from":2000,"year_to":2006,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2000_audi_tt","2001_audi_tt","2002_audi_tt","2003_audi_tt","2004_audi_tt","2005_audi_tt","2006_audi_tt"]},{"make":"AUDI","model":"TT","year_from":2007,"year_to":2007,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
