Default The A/C is "unimpressive" - gets the job done, but

takes a bit longer than my '01. I suspect part of this is the compromise of the center vent versus the MMI screen. And, it seems to be setting the fan at full go, but wouldn't mind a bit more volume. My warm weather package helps a bit - but I need it with the Oyster paint in "Hotlanta".

7/29/03

I received a call from Sabrina Burrow, Service Consultant at Prestige Imports in North Miami, Florida (the selling dealer). She said car was being made ready for pickup later today.

I asked her about the repair to the headlight leveling sensor performed on 7/17/03-7/18/03. I asked whether only one sensor was replaced or whether both sensors were replaced. She replied that only the part that had actually failed was replaced.

I replied to her that on 7/24/03, in a telephone conversation with Mr. Ron Hankley, Audi area representative, he informed me that Audi had determined that these sensors were defective in manufacture and that Audi was replacing them on all new vehicles as the cars were received at the ports of entry.

Ms. Burrow responded that Prestige Imports had no authority from Audi to replace any parts other than those which actually failed in service and could not make replacement of the other sensor as they had received no directive to this effect from Audi of America.

Therefore, Audi of America and Prestige Imports are knowingly returning the vehicle to me with a part known to be likely be defective, even after one of them failed on my vehicle.

Default I didn't have any of the above issues...only thing with my

A8L was the steering problem which was probably not all that major.
