If you bought the car from a dealership and it's "Certified" by Audi, there is
a minimal-coverage warranty that should cover a fix of the problem. Wether or
not it happens a great deal or if Audi is recognizing what number of failures
there have been, they'd have no grounds to deny you a warranty claim here. Once
the problem is fixed, if it makes you nervous, you may want to take the
oppurtunity to invest in a chip from APR. Paired with an intake and exhuast, it
will raise your power ouput to 257 horsepower and 264 Ft. Lbs. of torque, and
is designed to run on 91 Octane gas. And APR says the new ECU is invisible to
dealer computers. You're talking about 0-60 in 6.0 or less and the ability to
shrug off the new VR6 powered model, as well as non "S" Boxsters and Z4s.
