Ian,

There were 114424 miles on it when it went.

I know that the recommended mileage for replacement is 90k max... It
appears that both I and the delaership that performed all the
maintenance missed that critical component during the 90K service.

If you were having all the maintenance done by the book by that dealer, then
I think they bear a lot of the responsibility for the damage done by the TB
failure. I would think you'd have a good case for them to pay for the
repairs.>

Ian,

I am working that angle. I am not very hopeful though.

I did speak with Audi of America and their position is that all their
dealers are independant entities and they cannot interceed on my
behalf and that I should work with the dealership to resolve this
issue. Basically thanks for the $$, now hit the road, so much for
owner loyalty.

I am also considering consulting an attorney to see what my legal
standing is.

There was significant turnaround at this particular dealership during
the time that the 90K service was performed that could help my case.

cheers,

jim
