Consumer Description

The turbo failed while driving the car at normal speed trying to enter freeway. Luckily I was able to get the car to the side of the road safely. The vehicle has always been serviced by Audi on prescribed intervals. After researching, I found a TSB on the oil screens that feed the turbos. The dealer (Audi Miramar, San Diego) told me this is not/was not a required repair and quoted me $16k to replace the turbos and replace the faulty screen. I ended up taking the car to another authorized Audi repair center and got them repaired for $9k. Audi needs to address this before someone has an accident.
