2015 purchase but first I have questions

I bought my 15 A8 L a month ago and haven't looked back. The best indication of having made the right choice was how much I enjoyed a 6 hour drive down and back from DFW to Austin the day after I got it. To use a phrase previously said it was "effortless" as if the car drove itself. Like the car you described my car is out of warranty and had just a few more miles at 69k.
Now on to answer your questions best I can...
1. How prevalent is the loss of turbo oil supply due to screen clogging and is there any warning?

- Gotta say this is news to me. Didn't crop up in my research as common issues.
- Mine has it and I knew it going in. Going to do engine mounts and SW updates before deciding how to handle.
- Thought I had this when it was raining heavily lately and had a mildew smell but turned out to be sunroof. Did some good cleaning and seems to have gone away. No actual wetness or moisture around the windshield/headliner.
- Back to the engine mounts, I've had the dealer and two independent Audi shops verify this as a key issue to address and will be doing it this week.
- For me it was the best condition car I could find in my price range with the options/colors I wanted. For piece of mind I had an inspection done and by multiple accounts the car would have been CPO except for mileage (although like most dealerships they were clueless about the 1k/3k vibration issue). As for a deposit to do the inspection I call BS. I told the place I eventually bought from that I would need the car for a 1/2 day to inspect and they were totally cool.
- Rarely see snow in N Texas so not an issue for me.

I’m with the crowd on this. Audi made more than one of these. The local dealership offered to look for a car based on my description and ship it here. Fees involved but sounds safer. Plus I’d have them go through it.

Picked up a 2016 A8L 4.0 yesterday with an ULEV II mod. The car has about 36,000 miles and is immaculate inside. Seems to have everything but maybe the Executive package. I’ll pick the car up later this week.
Thanks for all the advice. Now as an owner I look forward to becoming a more active forum member.
