Not to put too fine a point on it but that is complete and utter rubbish.
Audi almost certainly have an in house legal team that could deal with it
for a fraction of the cost you suggest. Even if they did not any high street
solicitor would be able to advise them for a tenth of that. The OP would
have to take action in the High Court and employ a solicitor who would
probably instruct a barrister just to get the action started. That is always
assuming the OP can find a solicitor to take the case on which is doubtful.

Re: REJECTING CAR as NOT of SATISFACTORY QUALITY?
Don't such protection laws cover failure to repair, not continuing
breakage of new things?
I'm looking at Audis now because Honda can't get my 2005 Honda Accord
Hybrid fixed. The engine light sometimes blinks at WOT and bringing in
for repairs over a year and a half hasn't fixed it. It also chugs and
stumbles at idle like it has 300K miles on it, but I'm told it's fine.
I'd like to sell this car but I can't with these malfunctions. The next
visit to the shop is "fix it or buy it."

Under which head of damages would this entail?
