    2001 Audi TT rear end problem

    I recently had the dealer tell me that there was a major problem with the rear end on my 2001 Audi TT quatro. The car would chatter when doing a slow U turn in forward or reverse. The dealer said the rear end was bad and needed replaced at a cost of approx. $3800. This car has 53,000 miles on it and is stored in a heated garage for the winter. It is not run hard or abused in any way.  The total bill was on me until I complained to Audi that there is no way this part should be bad under the conditions of use after only this many miles. They offered $1000 of the bill. Some one mentioned that if the wrong oil is in this part that this problem can happen. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Could parking the car for the winter be causing any problem? Has anyone else had this similar problem?
