never been more depressed in my life. any suggestions?
Where to start? Well i have been without car for about 2 months now. I own a Nogaro 6 speed, 2002. Up until my turbos blew, it has 23,000 miles on it.
It waits at a dealer right now for me to gather enough money to cover the replacement work out of pocket. Needless to say i have been voided. I had a chip at one point in my car, and without telling me they found it they reported it to audi. They found it sometime when i was bringing the car in for something unrelated to the engine, but all they had to do is report it, and when my turbos blew, regardless of lack of chip, i was voided before i made my appointment.
I was driving my dads Ram today getting some last minute shopping done, and it finally dawned on me i guess that i miss my car. I cannot take drives late at night to relax me when i can't sleep. Every car i ride in now is no comparisson in ride quality or power. I miss my turbo spool, and the chill i would get in my spine as i felt it spool in second gear. I really miss my car.
Enjoy your cars this holiday season and take care of them. try and imagine what it would be like to not smile everytime you drive and stuff. I know it could be worse this holiday season for me.......but i still miss my car regardless.
I have been quiet about this situation for a while, i know audi looks here for posts that give proof of voiding. but right now i just want my car back and i feel i have action against audi, it was not the chip that blew that turbo, and it was not due to improper maintenance or driving. i am like most people are on this board, OBSESSED with my S. anyways, if anyone has been through this, and can give me some input or refer me to someone i would appreciate it.
happy holidays

read it before you sign it
Seriously it will cost less to get it out of the dealership. K04s cost less than replacing your stock turbos. See Achtuning.com for the price of replacement turbos or call Josh D and explain your situation.

At least only your turbos blew. My whole engine went.

So now I have two cars to fix. And you know what? Big whoopty doo. I miss my car to, but its just a car. Things could be ALOT worse. Be thankful for what you have.
