Default I'm still getting screwed by the dealer.....:\

Talked to my dealer again. He got in touch with Audi and they said AGAIN that they wouldn't pay for the repairs on my car. They can't even give me a solid reson why my car is doing what it is doing. Short story...I took it in to have the ICV replaced. I got it back and it won't cold start, and won't idle for **** if it's not warmed all the way up. Air conditioner coming on puts even more strain on the motor and the car never compensates for it, it just runs at 400 RPM. Next option is taking it to a different dealer (who happens to be 45 minutes away) and see what they come up with. I don't even care what it costs anymore to fix it, I'll pay the damn money, I just want someone to tell me what is going on instead of "we'll replace the computer for 1200 and it might fix the problem, if not we will move to the next option and you'll still be out your 1200 bucks." Sorry for the rant, I know I've done my share, I am just so tired of this and noone giving me any answers. My car has been around for 5 years now and they can't tell me whats wrong with it, that's just plain ridiculous. :\
