2003Q Tip 60,000 miles. Mods are in the sig.

Failures
8 coilpack's (4 replaced under warranty)
tranny at 24,000 miles (my fault but replaced under warranty)
check valve (replaced under warranty)
dip stick failed at 59,000 miles

The tranny failure was my fault and was replaced by Audi under warranty. I got stuck in a freak snow storm with summer tires and the car went into a snow bank. Had all 4 tires spinning while shifting the tranny between P, R, D. This put the tranny into permanent limp mode.
