"Duh, gee, if I don't change my oil for 20,000 miles, my engine will 
get damaged? Duuuuh, that's VW/Audi's fault!"

Christ, this country is full of morons.  Has anyone actually heard of 
or seen a case that was properly cared for (ie followed the 
recommended 5k oil changes) that had the sludge problem?  Because 
this seems like owner neglect, pure and simple- and that it shows in 
the 1.8t's because they're turbos and in low-end models (ie owned by 
people who don't put as much care into their car as they would, say, 
an S4 or A6 biturbo).
