Well, I had the knock sensors replaced in hopes it would fix the intermittent power loss I have had since birth.. No change.. Audi techs believe its software related and that one of the 'invisible' codes written to protect the motor is triggering this.. but they cant get Audi to tell them how to proceed.. apparently, Audi corp is so protective over this stuff they wont tell their techs about it..
Last week I noticed a knocking sound coming from the steering rack.. this got worse by day so I pulled in yesterday and i'm glad I did. It turns out to be the three (thats right, only three) bolts holding the rack in were very loose. Had I not had them tightened, the whole thing could have dropped and been ugly....
I'm starting to realize that my latest lemon may never work right and I must now look at the reality of giving back my car..
