If you bought the car from a dealership and it's "Certified" by Audi, there is a minimal-coverage warranty that should cover a fix of the problem. Wether or not it happens a great deal or if Audi is recognizing what number of failures there have been, they'd have no grounds to deny you a warranty claim here. Once the problem is fixed, if it makes you nervous, you may want to take the oppurtunity to invest in a chip from APR. Paired with an intake and exhuast, it will raise your power ouput to 257 horsepower and 264 Ft. Lbs. of torque, and is designed to run on 91 Octane gas. And APR says the new ECU is invisible to dealer computers. You're talking about 0-60 in 6.0 or less and the ability to shrug off the new VR6 powered model, as well as non "S" Boxsters and Z4s.
