Now i'm pissed i droped it off before they opened and left a note of what was wrong....they DIDN'T fix the intake manifold flap. they said the gas cap wasn't sealed properly!! WTF!?!?!? i told them exactly what was wrong...on the highway doing 80 go to punch it and no power since all my highend tq is gone due to the intake manifold!!! I hate audi service

Audi won't fix something because you tell them it's broken, they need a code corresponding to a problem otherwise they don't get reimbursed for the work. Who told you the intake manifold and how do they know?

When i went to get chipped it showed up faulty. They said bring it to audi and tell them to look at this.my check engine light never went off due to it.

Yes, all it needs is the ECU update and you'll be fine. You will have to get it re-flashed again, but it will no longer throw an error code.

"I left them a note that said, after all my mods when I am going 80 down the highway I can't spin my wheels How do I know that? I went to have it chipped and the guys that were erasing my ECU software and putting on their own said somethings broke you have to fix it."

I am completely shocked that they just didn't fix it right up for you! The nerve of some companies!

i brought in my car cause my exhaust was spitting smoke at cold start... told the guy i was pretty sure it was a bad intake valve letting oil in. 3+ weeks later they finally got approval from audi to replace a broken seal on one of the valves. now they have to order a tool because they've never done that for 3.2 v6 or some such non-sense. car will have been gone for over a month before i get it back. :(
