Default blow engines..as many Audi as VW??

I have had quite an abnormally high number of friends with VW's that have had to have engines replaced. How about folks with TT's?????

Default Other than one that I know of with a manufacturing defect...

I don't know of anybody here on the Forum who has blown an engine. The defective one was eating oil. But I don't know of anyone here who has even blown an engine by modding it.

Funny you mentioned.....BMW's having the same problem with their M3s. Their excuse is "over revving". How can you NOT drive a sports car hard?
