Get a good attorney. Better to pay him/her than Audi.

P.S. Rent a comparable car for a year and they will have to compensate you as part of the judgement.

Have you discussed with your Audi rep, because they are likely educated on how the car works

Default don't fear the X...

just get upgraded Hoses to secure it. I see no reason why turbo should fail unless it was faulty at first place.
Oh, and of course, if you track the car like Corey&Sharon...that's another story. ;-)

but during daily use, you should be just fine. They don't just melt or break on their own.

I trust the X and will do so until there are better reasons to fear it.
