Well I got the car back after it staying in overnight at the audi centre - got the call to pick it up at 12.14. 12.30 was in the dealer getting the keys - 3 mins later back in because the air con was still blowing hot air.

An hour later I'm told there is a leak in the system - they have chucked some dye in it and that I am to drive it aroud and retur the car on Tuesday!
I expain that I gotta go to York tuesday and Liverpool Wednesday! So I can bring it in on thursday - but I wont have any cool air con for the next few days because the gas will leak out by tomorrow!

Unfortunately they didnt have a spare car for me and I am loathed to drive the porker to York and Liverpool!

I know these things are mechanical but I've only had the car 7 weeks and its been in 3 times now - and I am already getting fed up! Is it me or do we all feel like this when the old motor is misbehaving?

So I am driving home and I've not got more then a mile and this two tone bleep kicks off inside the cabin - its bleeping like mad - a sound I have not heard from the car ever before - I get home and find out why its bleeping - then the dealer confirms my findings -

POP QUIZ - what do you think caused the car to bleep!?

At least my old cruise is working a treat!!

Cheers
