Default if i were him, i'd keep quiet for a while.... (m)

email him if you're really interested only because Audi has been known to do their research on claims from time to time.

car is 100% stock. If you are paranoid about your car like I am...don't be. When something goes wrong you will know right away. Just keep up on your preventative maintenance and get an extended warranty. Mine is warrantied through 100,000, but that is a 3rd party company, not the Audi warranty.

Default Oopsy! BUT, good thing for your warranty

I too had my car turn a little over 50K with a 100K warranty. Turbo's are still intact and are covered 'til 100K.

Hope all works out for you.

off hand I cannot think of the name...they cover everything bumper to bumeper with a $100 deductible + provide a rental. IT was $2500 ~ they are reputable, and guarantee you will speak to a real live person 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
