The initially told me it was the wheel hub/bearing and refused to fix it citing "user abuse". I have replaced the part with a band new one from eminiparts, and that did not fix the issue. Therefor, their diagnosis was wrong. The bearing may have been going out and they saw that, but they didnt look any further than that. There is also a possibility it could be that lower engine mount going bad as well as it doesn't look all that great, but I cant tell if its failing. Not sure that would cause the noise. That really only leaves the driveshaft/axel. Can't hurt to get their opinion, though after my last dealing with them, I'm still not happy with how they handled it.

Maybe they can show you the 300 ft pound torque gun they used to put your wheels back on last time.

I don't know, I bought it stock and as far as I know the previous owner did nothing but drive it normally for about 33K miles. The car as a whole shows no signs of modification or abuse. I will most certainly mention that the bolt was WAY over torqued, we only estimated it at 300 lbs because my 240lb ass was standing on the lug wrench and it wouldn't budge, thankfully we got it off without hurting anything on the car and only breaking easily replaceable tools.
Previous to my lovely MCS, my dealing with MAG were pleasant and easy going. My last two visits have been less than so. Granted I was working with the Audi dealership, but still I expect the same great service no matter what brand that I buy from them that they support -

Interesting, our experience with MAG's Audi service was pretty dreadful. We owned 2 of them & suffered through every service visit. Go figure?

Ok, I finally heard back from MAG. I will be dropping my car of on Tuesday morning at 7:30 and getting a loaner while they figure out the problem. Hopefully it doesn't take too long. But on the bright side, I am on vacation all next week so Ill be able to go get it pretty much at the drop of a hat.
