    Looks like it's been in an accident.

    Of course there is different reasons for different things at any time but isn't it weird that a low mile not crashed car is in the shop all apart like this.
    like the other guys said looks like accident damage. With what I have seen from quality control on Audi this looks like something that should have never left the factory in this condition.

    Have Audi been informed of this, I`m sure the factory would require a full inspection/enquiry Before any repair is carried out.How is it being repaired and by who`m?Are the castings being replaced and not just welded up!!! Is the owner the 1st owner?Or is there some hidden history with this vehicle. Also stange to be on both sides if it was considered to be pothole damage.

    I don't think I would be happy with the castings being welded if it were my car.
