Description of the problem	I purchased my 2012 audi from carmax with 20,??? Miles on it. It now has 106,000. I noticed more oil consumption than it should. I am very very on top of maintaining my vehicles. Regular maintenance original audi parts during replacement.... Then my check engine light came on. Had the code checked and it was turbo booster problem and crankshaft. Was told fixing crankshaft may possibly fix turbo booster code without paying $3,000-4,000 to fix. As they were fixing it i was told the crankshaft had red letters on it meaning it came from a junkyard prior to my purchasing it! So it had to have gone bad before 20,000 miles which is ridiculous! So i paid the $500. 00 to fix it and drove it 158 miles and the check engine light came on again. So i just burned $500. 00 for nothing! I love my audi but i will never ever purchase an audi that is such an unreliable vehicle again. In doing research i see that 2012 audi engines are very very bad news! Apparently this is happening to a lot of audi owners. Buyer beware!
