contacted audi dealer and was able to get appointment on october 3rd. The dealer informed me that my car had engine oil sludge issue and they had to clean the engine and it would take at least a week before they could give me the car back. After a week dealer informed me that the vehicle was serviced but would not go above 20 miles and hour, dealer had never seen the problem before and was awaiting a fix from audi engineering. Today is 16th and my car is at the dealer for almost 2 weeks now and I still do not have the vehicle. I contacted audi and opened a case, case number 60373673, so far audi is of no help. Dealer is doing excellent job of communicating with me but audi needs to look at the issue as if this problem occurs on nations highway, people may get into serious accidents. *Nm
