   IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT MY CONCERN IS GROWING AS AUDI HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. PER AUDI TSB 2044640 AND BENTLEY TSB 20520851 VOLKSWAGON GROUP IS AWARE OF TURBOS FAILING ON THEIR 4.0T ENGINES. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS THE OIL SCREEN RUNNING TO THE TURBOCHARGER'S (CLOGGING), AS WELL AS THE OIL SEPARATOR FAILING/CRACKING. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY OWN SAFETY AS I LIVE IN A STATE WITH SPEED LIMITS OF 80 MPH - IF MY TURBO BLOWS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AT 80 MPH I DON'T KNOW HOW THE CAR IS GOING TO REACT. NOT ONLY THAT BUT A FAILED TURBO IMPELLER CAN BE FED BACK INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE, AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD BE A DISASTER. AGAIN, MY FAILURE HASN'T HAPPENED YET BUT I'M CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS.
