2.7 turbochargers are known weak spot, so are 5HP19 torque converter oil seals. I do not know much about air suspension, but those cars are maintenance hogs even when not submerged under water.

You misunderstood my posts. Don't consider the S8 in that one post the reference point for my suggestions. I've owned more than a dozen Audis, including lowly grocery getter Audis. I've owned an Audi with the dreaded 2.7 V6 twin turbo motor. It had exactly zero issues, before and after the warranty expired.
These threads are pointless. I think I should quit reading them, or responding.
