Default do the audi computers keep track of everything?

In other words, if I move across the US and bring my car to an audi dealer for my 30000 mile checkup, will they know that I got my 25000 mile one done at Clair and exactly what they did? Is all that stored in a network somewhere?

No! It never keeps track of my socks. Always one short out of the dryer.

Default Aaaaaaaah!

So if we're denied a warranty claim at one dealer, it's useless to go somewhere else? (even if the first dealer proves to be incompetent?)

Default Most all mfrs do that now...but its gonna get worse...

Wait til the feds require a gps/data link within the ECU so your engine will report itself and they can shut you down remotely when you exceed emission limits (or do anything else they don't like). It's coming. CA is already pushing for it.
