OK...purchased a Nov 2003 Audi 2.5TDi Quattro Sport with 24K on the clock....from an Audi Main Dealer 2 weeks ago (Mid April 2007).
So far the Headlight Washers don't work (found out after 2 days of ownership). The local Audi Dealer says I need a new headlamp washer pump at approx £240 fitted which they could not repair as they have to order the pump from Audi, and then driving home from this crap experience (sorry I dont believe they could not have sourced one from another Audi Dealer), pulled over switched off engine, went into shop for 5 minutes, came out started car only to find airbag warning light is stuck on....
Having moved from a '1999 BMW 328 Sport with 99,000 on the clock to a car which is significantly more economical/younger, i never experienced a single electrical failure in the old BMW in 3 years of ownership........and after 2 weeks I am yet to be impressed by Audi Dealers - i.e.the one that sold it to me (having not checked that everything worked before passing it to me, and the 2nd that cannot repair it without me having to visit a 2nd time)........
All I can say is thank god I have got a an Audi Warranty.....and I hope this unreliability is not a sign of things to come........
