Speaking of cars lifetimes... Apparently VAG believe 5 years/100,000 klms is the lifetime of their products. Been told my A3 needs a full engine rebuild at 70,000 klms and no, Audi won't be covering it even though it's the well known oil/Piston ring issue. I can fight it and probably get them to pay but it is a long shot as I'm second owner and previous owner skipped one official service. It's that or be a douche and sell the car on with a known problem. Grrr, should bought the Megane gt220 I wanted.
