Default What if the car was running rich due to the aftermarket programming...
could that foul the O2 sensor?

Default yes, hence my statement... engine power output has nothing to do with the failure, improper tuning
however can.

Default I learned long ago that you're fighting a losing battle. Save yourself some time and aggravation
and pay the damn bill.

So APR = bad tuner? or could the same thing happen with a GIAC chip?

Default i'm not saying APR is a bad tuner, or GIAC. What I am saying is that power output doesn't directly
correllate to a failing/failed O2 sensor. That improper tuning can be accountable though, and that is what Audi will most likely use as their excuse for denying the claim.

Default Jeesh...someone pissed in your corn flakes this morning.
Although I do agree. Buy the part and fix it yourself.
