Default Audi makes a great car too bad the subcontracted parts (ie Bosch) sucks ***

Everything that I had problems with led back to a Bosch made part. For example: engine temp sensor, bypass valves, MAF sensor, and the list goes on. Not to mention the plumbing isn't so great either.
Audi is not the only manufactuer to suffer from Bosch parts. My uncle's Z3 is going into the shop once a month as well for Bosch made sensors.

Why doesn't Audi use another supplier?
