are 1.8T's JUNK????

No it does not void the warranty if you change your own oil. BTDT,
have had an engine replacement on our '01 Beetle due to excessive oil
consumption. It would make no logical sense to void the warranty as
long as you followed the proper maintenance schedule.

The K03/K04 turboed VW/Audi cars seem to be awfully problematic,
regardless of who is doing what to the cars. The main reason I didn't
purchase a S4tt was the fear of turbo replacement costs and the lack
of support from the dealerships and the company.

I won't get another Audi any time soon- none of the current models
really interest me, except for the S4. I'd rather get a '95 S6 and my
STi for the cost of that car, though.
