Here is my tale of Audi twin turbo ownership. YMMV, but just in case it does not, god help your wallet if you have to pay someone to work on it.

FWIW, I loved the way it drove (I had an Eibach suspension kit installed in mine) and the AWD was nice in the winter, but NEVER AGAIN for me. My daughter's little VW has been more trouble than it should be also. So I doubt I will make that mistake again either.

I am sure there will be several Audi aficionados that will attempt to minimize my experience, but I have had much better luck and easier repairs with my high mileage BMW's and several foreign repair shop owners have been in agreement with me.
