    I'm a little sensitive on the issue as I am the not-so-proud owner of a sludged 1.8T. In this case due in some part to the previous owner's maintenance, but I feel it's primarily due to the poor specs from Audi.

  My apologies, Art, I certainly didn't intend to insult you... I can understand your frustration, though, because I'm not sure what Audi was thinking about when they wrote those maintenance intervals... Are you able to get anything from Audi to help fix it?

After going above the service department I'm getting some options from the dealer (I bought it directly from the previous owner who bought it there), but they can only do so much since Audi (AoA?) will do nothing. I just wrote an update here, but it is awaiting moderator approval due to it's size. If it doesn't go through I'll shorten it and repost.
