Disagree...
I think it would be a strong stand from the consumer that an organized group of enthusiasts (not stating that we're from Audiworld) representing a fellow enthusiast that would show them that we're not petty fools buying cars, hanging on their each and every word.
If we don't like how they do business, then we're going to take ours, someplace else. (BMW, Mercedes, Subaru, etc).

Does anyone else get the feeling...
Does anyone else get the feeling that in, say, 10 or 15 years, when Audi aficionados look back, they'll comment on how the 2.7T was possibly the biggest mistake Audi ever made?
It's a wonderful powerplant, but it clearly has reliability issues with the way that the turbos and associated plumbing are packaged. I heard someone say the other day that the 2.7T is responsible for the most warranty money paid out of Audi's pocket in their entire history. Clearly some suit has issued some edict to start clamping down on 2.7T warranty claims, in order to stop the cash from bleeding. All this is going to do is **** of loyal Audi customers like Ed who probably won't ever buy another Audi, and will tell all of his friends to do likewise.
Ed: good luck. We're all behind you on this one.
Audi: if you can't stand behind your own products, what's the point?

If it happens to anyone, I'm glad it happened to you.
Because I can think of no better representative to fight for our collective rights.
Nice to see the dealership is on your side.
good luck to you,
Aaron

No need to mention mods, the site or anything, just state that you are dissatisfied with............
the treatment of a fellow enthusiast/Audi owner, and your next purchase will be a BMW or Mercedes.
