It's in the public domain so it's anyone's to use, but for the record Audi's response to the B7 RS4 problem (5 yr / 80k warranty) is good for me

If the parts are still failing at 5 yr / 80k then I might take issue, but I hope that a solution is found by then...

Apologies to all- Got carried away after too much cheap wine and I didn't read the full list. Sorry I jumped the queue (and the thread). I'll put myself in the correct place when my head stops banging.

New on here, and had my B7 rs4 Avant for two weeks, can someone give me a brief summary of what this problem is, and what the symptoms are. My car has done 20k and has apparently had no issues yet, but it sounds inevitable!
