For a long time Audi and VW said there was not a problem and did not want to cover it under warranty. So the guys that popped 80K for a RS4 had to pay for valve cleaning on their own. Audi did some crappy BG induction service and a ECU reflash that failed miserably. To me spending that amount of money on a car and it not being covered, is why I'm out of the Audi scene.

The reason they won't cover it is because it is "normal maintenance" that is supposed to happen on the vehicle
