Poor Audi Parts Support for 90csq/A4

[siegfried <sdoerrer@ix.netcom.com>]

I hate to post this buzzkill, but I'm very disappointed with the Audi 
North American performance in terms of getting me much needed parts for 
my 94 90csq.  The car hid a curb - wheel flat - required rebuild of left 
front suspension.  That was eight weeks ago and still Audi has not come 
through with simple parts.  The body shop owner also pointed to several 
other late-model Audis which were tying up his shop wating for parts.  
He also indicated that parts service for A4 was even worse.

While the cars are definitely there, I think Audi has a long way to go 
in terms of dealer and factory support in comparison with its rivals.

I hope to have my car back soon before I ruin my other car (a 67 Alpine) 
by driving it in the snow (I can even get Sunbeam parts overnight!)
