Consumer Description

MY TURBOCHARGERS FAILED, WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THIS ENGINE. IT WAS DRIVING NORMALLY. I STOPPED FOR AN ERRAND AND IT RESTARTED WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY. I THEN DROVE SOME ADDITIONAL DISTANCE AND IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC. IT STALLED REPEATEDLY WHENEVER THE RPM'S FELL BELOW 2000. I ENDED UP RUNNING A RED LIGHT, TO AVOID SLOWING DOWN, KNOWING IT WOULD STALL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN AN UNCROWDED AREA. IT LOOKS LIKE AUDI HAS ALREADY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THE PROPENSITY FOR TURBO FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE THAN THAT HAPPEN.
