Default carbon question

If you do not live local to one of these shops offering cleaning of the carbon problem, does anyone know if you pay the dealer to do it will they? or is audi not going to acknowledge that this buildup exists?

Sure but be prepared for upwards of 13 hours of labor charges + oil/filter/gaskets

That price was a promotional thing only. The price has gone up about $150 since then.
