Under warranty:
1. Turbo valve
2. Tires (class action lawsuit #1)
3. Brake disks (17,000 miles)

Immediately out of warranty:
Temperature sensor
Windshield washing system (expensive. Audi windshield washer fluid frozen, hence spraying mechanism for lights jammed and broke on automatic extension)

2 years later:
Instrument cluster (whole unit) (Class action lawsuit #2)
Timing belt (premature failures on interference engines - class action lawsuit #3)
Boots & related ball joints
Bearings (they found a ball bearing from the right wheel bearing sitting out in the frame of the bearing assembly!)
Door lock mechanism (poor drainage control causes brainbox compartment turn into swimming pool - caused the car to stall in the first month of ownership after delivery as new)

Year of vehicle: 2001
Current milage: 32,600 (no, there are no digits missing!)

What a shame, I really admire the looks of that car...
