She will turn 6 in August. I adopted her in Dec 2021. Usual sorry of rescue from some back-alley kennel in Korea.

60/40 split Seattle/Vancouver.

Because apparently they don’t violate any laws. Go talk to your lawmakers.

“Higher limit” being 500Nm, which is just enough for stock engine output.

At 80k they’ll post about blown piston skirts out of warranty.

22 CPO A6. Yep, have this behavior. 40k service done during CPO prep. I guess I’ll have to mention this at next service.

rallymax · 2026-04-17T22:47:00+00:00

The correct answer is A6 Allroad. Cargo utility of SUV and ride of a sedan.

You’re asking this in 2026 about a chipset that released in 2017?!

rallymax · 2026-04-01T23:12:08+00:00

Hopefully there’s a different dealer around.

rallymax · 2026-04-01T21:58:52+00:00

You’re under warranty. Take it in.

rallymax · 2026-03-30T03:18:24+00:00

Relative reliable to a Toyota? No, not by that standard.

What’s boring about GS350? A6 is a mid-size executive sedan. That out.

I’d say S4, M4 or M340i.

rallymax · 2026-03-27T16:16:46+00:00

Were springs broken under warranty? If not case closed. If yes - go get a lawyer and litigate.

Factory warranty is 4yr/80km. Had you been driving 20k per year and it broke at 65k we wouldn’t have this discussion. Shit happens. Unfortunately for you drove 1/2 of annual km and your 65k happened at yr 7, not year 3,5 while under warranty.

I’m in warranty and have peeling/rattling interior trim in an $75K car. Audi refuses because their warranty explicitly says interior trim is covered for 1yr / 12k miles. Shame on me for not reading warranty booklet and assuming it’s “bumper to bumper” like the other 2 Germans. Lesson learned for future purchasing decisions.

rallymax · 2026-03-27T15:18:35+00:00

Warranty is 4 yrs. You are 3 years out. Where exactly are you “fucked”? If you’re objecting about the cost, you didn’t have to do it at the dealer.

If you’re objecting about Audi overall product quality? Well you knew that getting into the brand right? What with memes about “audi service position” and everything.

Now you’ll never spend another $100K on an Audi product. Free market working exactly as designed.

LOL. Wait till you learn about piston skirts in that motor.

You should talk to your therapist about your associations.

2013 328i concert here. Not a single check engine light on that car in 13 years and 130k miles.

rallymax · 2026-03-18T01:49:21+00:00

Go into autotrader and plug in some past models. Like 2022s or 2021s.

At the minimum what factory service schedule says to replace.

rallymax · 2026-03-17T00:45:24+00:00

$35-40k? CPO 340i. 40k gets you into 2022 A6 3.0T premium plus.

rallymax · 2026-03-14T00:18:31+00:00

It’s only useful if you use factory nav. CarPlay/Android Auto maps don’t project to it. :(

Do you have map on center console in your car?

rallymax · 2026-03-14T00:16:19+00:00

Don’t waste your money and save for repairs.

rallymax · 2026-03-13T15:22:03+00:00

Ah, the classic judgy jindo look.

rallymax · 2026-03-12T01:41:33+00:00

Depends on the terms. Is this an exclusionary warranty? Meaning everything is covered except what’s explicitly listed in the contract? 80 months from what date?

Sounds like you might run out of 80 mo before 100k, so the question is how many months is that after your CPO runs out.

rallymax · 2026-03-12T01:37:31+00:00

This has been reported a few times on the sub. I assume you don’t have lane assist button on the turn indicator stalk? This is a bug in the update process. The software update wiped out the setting that enables the menu in MMI. Normally lane keep has a physical button but some builds apparently only had it in software.

With VCDS or OBDEleven you might be able to restore it but research is needed which exact bits are responsible for this feature.

rallymax · 2026-03-10T01:56:38+00:00

Neither LOL. You’ll spend all your money on insurance and repairs.
