Default Need New Engine

It is one thing after another with this car. Problem after problem after problem. Most of the problems take 3-4 visits to solve. this time I had the check eng light come on and severe hesitation. had to have it flatbedded. After the dealer spent about 3 weeks of tinkering around in the the engine bay, audi has offered to replace my engine under warranty. Not to mention 7 trips to the dealer and about 35 calls to AoA and the dealership. I planned on keeping this car for another year. should I get out now or try to hold onto it until the CPO is up? Audi did offer to help me get into something else.

Thanks,
Brandon

you are posting this in many "Audi model forums". What Audi do you have exactly? I assume it's not a B8 S4?

It would appear the discussion is around a s8. Not sure why this is posted in the S4 section.

Apparently you are correct, yet his user name is Biturbo A6 and when someone on the Q7 board inquired whuch engine he had his response was "v8". Makes as much sense as the original post.

He posted "new engine" in a ton of forums...Q7, A8/S8, C7 A6/S6, C6 A6/S6, B8 S4, B5 S4, etc etc.

Guess it's a propaganda effort to sabotage Audi or something. Bet it doesn't work.
