Gonna need a citation on that claim against Audi. The vast majority of Audi/VW cars are equipped with a 2L turbo that is probably the most bullet-proof motor made today. I personally put 120,000 very hard miles on a VW GTI equipped with the signature 2L turbo.
I've seen multiple folks on the MKVGTI forums approaching 200k miles with no issues as well.

VW answer: this part is not serviceable, whole crankshaft needs to be replaced :D Why is it made out of putty while smaller sprocket (the one taking more force) is still 'working'?
