All joking aside, I have to agree with just being patient and letting them try to fix it. The car is fantastic. I've been trying to regret buying it but I just can't find it in my heart to stop the love. Also, my personal seating position happily places the steering wheel in the line of sight between the CEL and me. It's a keeper for sure!

Audi literally says “we have no fix for this issue. We are working on it”. This is 6 months after they told Miamirs5 the same thing. Also, Miami rs5 got a replacement vehicle and it had the same issue. What does that say for your “limited data set”.

It says that 3 of hundreds, if not thousands of cars have this problem.
Even if it was 20 out of 1000 that's still only 2% of owners with the problem

where did you get this statistic? If this was true, what are the odds of miamirs5 replacement vehical having the same problem? I have no clue where you are pulling these numbers from but I would guess around 1/3 to 1/2 of the new rs5s are having this issue. Based on what the dealership is telling me.

did you shell out 90k for a defective car w no fix? If not you have no say.

It is true I don't currently own a RS5 or a $90k+ car but that does not mean my statement is not correct.
And you don't have any hard statistics / data (your guesses do not count) to back your broad and generalized statement that everyone should avoid the RS5 due to the issues being discussed.

Lets peg the RS5 at 1000 sold in the US, just for round numbers (I dont think that's far off)
Say another 1000 have sold in the europe.
How many reports do we have? I can count them on one hand for this forum, generalized to 20 for a safe over assumption - still 1-2% of the cars out there.

ok buddy haha. I have no clue what you are trying to prove. First of all you don’t even own an rs5 so I have no clue why you are commenting. Second of all regardless of the exact number of units that are defective, Audi should’ve fized this problem immediately or replaced the vehical. Miamirs5 has 2 defective units one after the other, and then Audi said “we are hesitant to replace it again due to the fact that the problem will most likely occur again”. I’d say this is a broad issue. You literally have no clue what you are talking about yet you come in here to argue. I won’t be replying to you again.

(problem cars / total cars sold) x 100 = % defective... no clue why you set it up like that lol. BUT, you can also take a hand full of cars let’s say 20, and use that at your data set to get a % of defective units. Not as accurate but it will give an estimate. Anyways, the fact that he got 2 cars w the same issue in a row, shows that this is an extremely common issue among these cars. That is not just sheer luck. Anyways, non of us know the exact % of vehicals w this issue. But what we do know is that is a common issue and is happening to many vehicals and Audi needs to fix it. Just picked mine up from the shop today had fuel tank and pump replaced. Let’s see how long before it’s back In the shop shall we.
