If they do come back and try not to cover this failure I'm trying to figure out how I should respond. I've contacted the EPA but it's basically impossible to get to someone who knows anything.

I'm amazed they are even questioning this but the local service people know nothing and they are deferring to some other person somewhere else.

I love my Q5 but I will never buy another Audi again. What a freaking joke this entire process has been.

It appears that when we registered for VW settlement we are automatically registered to get Busch's. Did I get this right?

Guess I need to sell the TTRS now. I had been looking for an S5 recently to swap out for the TTRS (just to change things up as it's been almost 3 years with the TTRS and APR just came out with their 498hp upgrade for the 333hp 3.0T which is tempting), and I got a hit the other day on my A7 TDI search that met criteria I wanted since last Aug when I was looking but ended up buying our 2nd Q5 TDI at the time. With so few A7 TDIs available, and never again, I decided I just had to get it. I'll be flying across country next week to drive it back. Should be a great road trip in that car.

Details:
2014 A7 TDI
> Daytona Gray / Black Interior
> Prestige (S Line bumpers, Bose, 4-zone climate, Ambient lighting plus w/LED, front seat ventilation, power steering column, folding/heated mirrors, adaptive/cornering lights)
> Sport Package (3-Spoke Steering Wheel w/Paddle Shifters and Sport Suspension)
> Black Optic Package (20" 7-spoke bi-color wheels 265/35R20 summer tires)
> Cold Weather Package (Heated Steering Wheel & Rear Seats)
> LED Headlights w/ LED DRLs
> 41k miles (Warranty until 50k or May 2018)
> AudiCare (45k service upcoming)
> All service done at dealership
> No warranty claims
> 1 owner (apparently has some nice other cars - car is in Monterey, CA)
> Just got new tires put on.

I'm paying high $44k ($45,100 and they are paying my flight out)

And since it was one owner, sold after 1/31, there's no eligible prior owner to put a claim in on this car, so I get at least $11k. If it goes to buyback, I'd get ~$75k

Suppose we should talk? ( Yes the new APR. stage 2+ Is tempting.)
