Default 2000 more then 2001's post 10/00 build date. However it's across the board

The KKK K03 has a QA/Manufacturing defect and we have passenger side failures accross the board, hell my 02 allroad had a turbo go south.

On the same note, my 40K mile 01 S4 is still running strong, a bit of turbo noise, but it will hold up for a bit.

Just Audi not standing behind their product, but it's much less of an issue then a complete motor botch in both the E46 M3 and B6 S4's

Default There is none. My MY00 has been chipped from the start and I have 50K miles in 5+ years on it....

without a problem.

Turbos have failed on all MY cars it's not year specific.
