        In this case, I would have to agree.  Some have had many problems
with their Audis.  Some foreseable, some not.  The list has helped solve
many problems, alot of them repeatedly.  I have not had any problems that I
didn't know about since I bought the car.  The list would take all night to
type up, but at least I am aware of all the probs.  I have only been
stranded by my car within the month of buying it because the owner before me
did not understand the car.  After I sorted them out, everything has been
smooth sailing since.
