[V8] Audi Dealership

[Dag Bøsterud]

Here in Norway, the Audi dealerships have to have special certificates to 
work with the V8 and A8-models.
I assume this applies to the rest of the world. My local dealership won't 
touch my V8, and I won't let them either.
When they say that the car doesn't exist, how can I trust them to hold a 
spanner within 30 yards of the thing?

AoA is covering their butts.  They can't keep techs for five years, let 
alone 18.  Because I work for a bank doesn't mean I'm up to speed on 
counterfeit silver certificates...

Plus, it's practically a guaranteed money loser for them to work on our 
cars...  I know when I first got mine I learned right quick that the dealer 
was the last place to go.
