Default intake solenoid failure..........

Well, as I stated earlier, shortly after returning from some time off, both the MIL and EPC lights came on in the car. Shortly after I hit 1500 miles I did drive her very hard down the Merritt. Never redline, but damn close a bunch of times.

I am hearing that most likely it will be next thursday until the repair is finished, given the holiday and shipping of the part. Hopefully that is an easy fix. Also had the dealer redo the Clear bra, as the initial bra had a horrible finish with some wrinkles on the hood.

Got the oil changed out as well at 2100 miles and exchanged for Motul 0-40. A sample was removed at 2023 and is being sent to Dyson for an analysis.

In the meantime, cruising around in a Q7. It is a very comfortable ride, drives well, but it's no RS4.

Sorry, that sux. At least you'll have to "rough it" w/ a Q7 loaner.

not really they have ur 70+k car don't worry about the miles, they'll understand, also depends on ur relationship with the dealer.
I have driven over 500 miles on a loaner a couple of times.
