My timing belt broke two days ago at 72k miles leaving me stranded on the freeway blocking traffic during rush hour. Boroscope inspection revealed that engine replacement is required. Current estimate is $7000 - $8000 depending whether or not the engine core is bad (to be determined tomorrow).
The tie rods had to be replaced at 60k miles.
Interior "pleather" seat material has started to tear.
This car has had many additional minor problems (electrical, sensors, etc), leaving me seriously questioning whether or not I will ever buy an Audi again.
The car handles well, although the 1.8T of this year is under powered.
62k Miles, the car's timing belt should be replaced by 60k Kilos. Do your maintenance before you complain.
