The only NA Audi is the A3 and according to the article only 13,000 or so.

3 about the Audis? Really?

And don't worry about me. I'm not embarrassed in the least.

While we're at it.. No surprise, otherwise the utilitarian VW would have performed better than the premium brand Audi.

It was known that Audis were involved as well, they just didn't break out the numbers before.

Are these the same engines used in the two different brands, or are the Audi engines different?

At least some of them are the same.

Not that it matters in this market, but roughly one million Škodas are affected as well.

Newsflash - essentially identical engines in mechanically very similar cars from the same corporate mothership also affected with same software.

I don't get why some people find it hard to believe that VW/Audi have the same engine with a different plastic top cover.

VW is another conglomerate sharing platforms and engines to maximize returns. Just like Toyota, GM, FCA, Ford, Hyundai-Kia and so on.

Good to see this doesn't seem to affect the latest models.
