Default Has anyone had luck with AOA covering turbo under emissions warrenty?
My turbo is blown and my technician suggested I call Audi Customer Care and seemed to think that it would be covered under the 8yr 80,000 mile emissions warranty . Especially with the track record of turbo failures on the 97's.

I did that and today they called back denying me my case and saying I'm on my own.

My origional goal was to spend $0 so I'm leaning towards the used K03 option

Off warranty? Suggestion if your turbo dies.
