AoA warranty denial

DOTNETGUY WROTE:
I think they had a bad batch of turbos, and when they've failed, they've
(more or less) been replaced. That's not really unusual, and it doesn't
really seem like a given. Yes, it's happening to a lot of people, but it
seems like every one I've heard of has happened really early on (within 5 or
10k miles).


Fact of the matter is that it is a big deal. These are the same turbo's that have been failing on the 1.8T since '97, for basically the same reasons. Also, they fail without regard to whether or not the car has been chipped. TOTALLY irrelevant.

AoA's response to this issue has been unsatisfactory to a large number of people, myself included. True, they can decide what to honor under their warranty. We can also decide what car we'll own in the future. My choice will NOT be an Audi.
