Was just at the Audi dealer getting scheduled maintenance and noticed an RS7 in for repair. My service guy told me it was a 21 and the owner had it tuned… burnt up his motor.
30+K on the repair quote due to warranty being voided.
Said the guy had tuned it back but the onboard flags that stuff so it had the date/time stamp when tuned up and back.

I would guess if you can afford it to begin with you likely have the cash… but that’s gotta hurt.

This has been a controversial topic between Audi owners and dealers for 15 years. Audis have some headroom to be tuned up and there are some companies that specialize in this service. Usually costs between $1000-1500. Audi's position is that these "tune up" put extra stress on the systems and are not covered under warranty. The tune up companies will often insure against their chip tune causing failure. It becomes a finger pointing exercise. At one point, some Audi dealers partnered with the chip companies, but the Audi factory put an end to that practice. Ultimately it's Audis decision to ban under warranty. From the customer's perspective it's no secret that if there is a problem they know they eat the cost

You think an A6 goes for 30? Bwahahaha. Suppose that explains why you think living in St. Charles is an accomplishment.

Do they teach typing in the impressively wealthy St. Charles? Clearly they don't teach how not to dox yourself. Should we dig out that photo. dipshit?

I know next to nothing about Audi's, but the few I've seen on the street have the best paint I have ever seen from a factory job.
The fit and finish on those cars is way above anything else I have seen. Except for a Bentley I once saw at the Caddy dealership

Audi is famous for their interiors. The best paint jobs are on Lexus. They are deep and luxurious

That's not specific to Audis. Tuning any car under warranty will void the warranty. I wouldn't think of tuning my wife's Audi while it's under warranty.
