I do not consider the DRC an 'issue', mine is fine, and it's good to go, free replacement when I like...although they did share some info...that I'm inclined not to...

I did not say it did not affect any US car, only <<1%, and none have failed the pressure test so far during this service action...

what I discuss with Audi is my business...you can contact them...

if I like some on here, make unsubstantiated claims, basically libel, do you think they would communicate openly with me? They read my stuff too, they know my name & profession, so the screen name is obvious...especially since I sent them the HYPERLINKS! lol

what do you think I tell them?
what magic do I work to sway a massive corporation like Audi?
do you think they take what I say for gospel and act on it?
do you think I have ANY influence over their actions?
lol

as far as mal, again, very slowly, very clearly...
I sent them the HYPERLINKS to his posts...they READ them...
got it? didn't think so...

What extra information/comments did you send to Audi? Care to share?

Sims, we already had a rambling thread on DRC which got nowhere as this one has become; keep the subject on track and PM regarding DRC or continue on the other DRC thread.

Your engine is fine too and yet you made contact with Audi, and why not share? Or is there nothing to share?

Agree you have no positive sway, but I do wonder about the doubts you may be casting by your slant on issues. You have cried wolf a couple of times already, so that's good news.

yes...my engine is fine, it has deposits and 420 HP

why don't you share?
I've contributed 10 fold of what you have?

Audi believes it also...they also like to avoid litigation...
why in NA, and particularly the US?
I'll change it in 2 years and at 50k miles...because it will be worn like any other supsension system in the world...
goes to show what a stand-up company they are, replacing perfectly good suspensions...>100 in the UK alone...

this is my first Audi in 30 years...and I've owned it for 1.75+ years or so...
not sure if that qualifies my as a 'fan'...and gives me any financial incentive or leverage over them...
I've already said they communicate with me? are you dense?
and no, it's my business...unlike some choads I don't live on the internet, and air my dirty laundry or bad habits...and I sure as heck ain't accusing large corps. of fraud, lying and neglience...like you...an others

so you think I have 'negative' sway (if not positive), lol
do you take them for fools?
like they won't READ THE POSTS!
I can put a slant on it, 'fool' them, mislead them...
svenghali :D
you must think everyone is as 'smart' as you ;)
they READ the POSTS!

I have never cried wolf, that is you:
deposits destroy engines
deposits cost 100 HP
DRC failutre rate approaching 100%
they intentionally, in violation of law, misrated HP (one of your first posts here iirc)

but it is funny how Audi contacted Australia within 1 day of my contact
and now Audi Germany is involved
lol

I've said 100 times...
my opinion is no better than anothers...

but I am not given the same consideration by others...

of course I think I'm 'right', just like the other position does...
if I didn't think I was, would I defend it?
and they theirs?

people are trying to stiffle me...it is a bold claim to assert ones engine was destroyed by deposits...why?
becasue ALL engines have deposits, so all will be destroyed...
that is hogwash...

Audi TOLD him it was oil! he said it was deposits...

btw: this is MY post, I started it...it's others who have dragged it down...

So we are back to abuse again, that which has got you banned from 3 forums in the last couple of months. For example:
http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/sh ... post726829


What does choad mean? Care to tell everyone here.

No-one here has accused anyone of fraud,lying or negligence - you keep saying it because it makes you feel good. If you carefully read the posts, everyone thinks Audi is a good organisation that will resolve issues.

It is not funny, it's merely responsible. They will assess and determine if you are a good informant.

who says I was talking about you? you 'ass u me' , but if the shoe fits...
yes, there are people like you everywhere...and if you 'rock the boat' with established members, the 'boys club', that's what happens...
this place is more tolerant...they put up with the likes of you... ;)

btw: proud of that 'ban', I was arguing that large armed male cops shouldn't be punching teenage girls in the face for jaywalking...after being 'profiled' in a black neighborhood...but I could see you taking the other side...

look it up

one of your first thread starters:
Clearly there is a lot of debate about how much power the car outputs.

Stated claim is 420ps, but someone at MRC mentioned some good cars make 370 or 380ps, whilst the mediocre ones make 300-330ps.

Has anyone ever pursued this with Audi, for it sounds like a misrepresentation
. Don't get me wrong, I think even 300ps is plenty, but if you buy a beer which claims 5% alcohol, and it is only 3%, you would feel a bit pissed off.

I have done a search but could not find anything specific


YOU said they are lying and that the car makes 300 HP (crank) vs 420 HP
you said you could not find a post on it...there was one with 100's of entries...sounds like rabble rousing and disingenuous

mal said deposits destroyed his engine, Audi said oil issues

Miked said the same, Audi said oil consumpton, 1 cylinder

MANY are calling them frauds, liars, cheats, etc.
you inlcuded

you're the only one ducking and diving, and scrambling behind personal attacks because you can't address the issue, so attack the man...what a weaslely way out...attempting to discredit me discredits you...can you afford any more?

'informant', lo, typical for you...
another personal attack...
I asked them a question in response to a claim that made no sense and that was outrageous...
I told mal (and others I would)
he said to do it
now he reaps what he sows
and this is my fault...what a hoot

do I still give you 'wood' :lol:

Arthur, are you hoping to get a free car or life time servicing from audi or sumut?

i am sure they pay millions for the kind of excellent mileage and positve advertising you have provided for them!!

(If you haven't considered this, then you may want to pick up your red telephone and suggest it)
It's all Bollox.
Half of what you read is bull and the other half is all <beep>.

nope
just trying to seperate fact from fiction

I can pay my own way
I want nothing (other than what they are legally obligated to provide) and expect nothing...

I do this for my own knowledge
