Description of the problem	After my car had been sitting for 8 days i went in garage to crank it. The car cranked but shook violently. I immediately shut it off. I tried to re crank it but it would not crank. I called audi and had it towed in. They told me the "lifetime" timing chain was stretched. That the repair would cost between $4,000 and $7,000 to fix. I did some quick searching and saw other folks with similar issues. The car has 98,000 miles , always serviced by audi. I called audi and told them this appears to be a re occurring issue and i though they should handle the fix. They called me back and said they would split the cost. I told them to proceed with the repair. This is the second major problem with the engine, the first was "oil consumption" which they repaired for free. Another $7,000 fix. I just saw a episode on "news 5 investigates" chicago describing the exact same issue with a vw, and also listing audi's 2011. Its on their website.
