Today I went to the Dealer: but didnt drive.....car went on a Flatbed truck instead because
last night while driving I noticed a small oil and coolant burnings smell. Car has been down on power and has been in and out the shop every week... so last night I decided to check my coolant reservoir tank to check level....... It was almost completely full of oil.. Car has around 10000 miles on it.... so it got trucked away today and now I am driving a Pontiac. Talked to dealer, its probably a blown headgasket, could have a warped head as well, probably needs a new Turbo as well, also might be possible that car will need a completely new motor instead of fixing it...... Im really dissapointed in the build quality of my car...its been non stop problems every week.... I spent the day after that doing neutral drops in the rental for cheap amusement.... but I guess if I had of wanted a Pontiac I would have bought one.....so now its time to wait..

Yeah ...but in Canada..dont believe its as easy as the states to lemon it..
but I will try.... Its kinda of sad because I really looked forward to getting this car... but with all the problems (I stopped filling out defect list last month) I really wonder if I made the right move getting an Audi.

In all seriousness, truly believe you did get a true lemon. Don't know Canadian law on lemons
but can look into it for you. You really need to have a really great TT because you are a true enthusiast....let me know what assistance I can provide to keep you in the fold.

yeah griping aside I am a true Audi fan..... but i spend so much time at the dealership these
days....Im speaking to my lawyer tommorow about what I can do...thanks for any help I appreciate it.... First I gotta find out if its a new Turbo as well, was told they run 8-10 weeks on back order... If its going to take a few months to fix car well... thats going to be it...otherwise if they fix it and the compressions ok hopefully this might solve the power problems but Ill have to wait until then..
