Making mechanicucks miserable is a key part of the enjoyment of owning my Audi.
It's like mined vs lab grown diamonds, sure they're qualitatively indistinguishable but the human misery involved in mining the latter adds to the prestige of owning it.
Audis are gravy. They have good fault reporting in their ecus that makes defect tracing easier and generally don't rust very bad. That one model has the turbo in the middle of the engine V front and center for easy pickings. As long as you have the tools they're not bad to work on IMO.

To be fair I still got £5k for my 2008 A6 estate last year which had nothing wrong with it besides 150k miles on the clock, an annoying squeak coming from the glovebox and a little rust on the underside rear right quarter.

This. 3.0TFSI and 4.0TFSI engines are solid. Once you kinda learn how they do things they’re not that bad to wrench on for all but the biggest jobs.
