failed plug=replace turbo
My 99.5 1.8TQS with 66,000 (highway) had the #1 cylinder plug break off @ the tip and get sucked into the turbo. Could have been worse, there were slight scuffings on the #1 piston, but no head/valve damage. Turbo was trashed. Audi is only willing to belly up 25% of the bill. Because I hadn't change the plugs @ 60K, they weren't willing to pay 100%. Dealer is going easy on the labor costs (3 days). Anybody had a Bosch plug break apart like this?

First......who changed the plugs at 30K??? Audi uses NGK's not bosch...
If the dealer did U'r 30K and used bosch. that's on THEM!!
second, what ever happens. I think this it the time to call AWE and get the K04 kit($1200)*
