Don't think I could lemon it (don't really want to either), the exhaust isn't Audi's and since Stasis is no more they are turning down warranty work as well.

Tech says the car is running fine...smdh. Do I really need to drive down there and show them? WTF.

3 times for the same problem could get them to buy the car back. There are worse ways to get out of it.

I'd just rather have it back though

Just spoke to the service manager, he felt the issue and he believes they've got it fixed. He's going to drive it now and again tomorrow morning before he says it's okay.

Fingers crossed.

Are you planning to keep it after the lease is over? Isn't that in the spring?

Both tailpipes or just one?

Not sure. You just see a bit of dust/cloud-like behind you when you floor it. Not a big cloud or anything, but it's visible. Certainly not anything like blow by in the S.

Nope. Goes back in May.

I had thought about keeping it (the buyout is really good) but I don't want to face the issues that will arise. Audi/dealer can't certify it or warranty it with the Stasis tune on it which kind of defeats the purpose of keeping it.

Well, if they lemon it, you'd get back all the money you'd paid to the lease for the last 18-ish mos. Seems like a better deal than keeping it until May and giving it back for free. (And paying the lease payments for the next 6 mos too.)

Audi's broke again. See vent thread.

Starting to really hate Stasis.
