Audi say I am disloyal !

I hope you get the current car fixed without too much expense. Must admit, without a full dealer history you chances of any goodwill contribution by Audi are slim at best - however the way they told you that was unfortunate.

As for your next car, buy a 3 series (it's an infinitely better car anyway) and send Audi UK a postcard.

But a BMW probably won't be any more reliable in my experience nor the dealer network any better

AdeC, I hope you get things sorted without too much expense. As said, a specialist is the way to go for a rebuild. To be fair, I don't think I would have even bothered contacting the manufacturer without full dealer service history and out of warranty. You'd probably struggle to get any more than a % of the bill paid even if you had the full history. Even on lesser repairs with fsh i've always found manufacturers a battle.
Let us know how you get on

Hi!
Could you please give me a call soon as you can. I have a partial number for you but it doesn't connect! Your car has arrived and I need to speak with you.

Cheers,

How is all this going?

[Wizbit]

yep, any update on this?

[Sponge]

I was going to say forget about any warranty. Take legal advice to establish if you have any redress under the Sale of Goods Act, etc.

[Nelson_R32]

Not likely. Car is well out of warranty and he has admitted to driving it when he knew it was at fault

[Sponge]

I can see where the bit about driving through the warnings might be a problem, but the warranty status is irrelevant.

I now have the car back, AV Performance did the bizz and now I am back on the road. OK I am seriously out of pocket and my next bank robbery will be a good un, but at least I no longer have to drive the wifes VW Beetle convertible, with orange flower in the vase, I was getting used to the lack of power and the "gay" hand signs from my mate as I drove away from the ballet classes...but now I feel normal again, even though I have not taken the car above 70mph yet, let the girl run in for a 1000 miles I haev been told. I have even started using that special V - Power high octane petrol. The power is there though, even without giving it full throttle she pulls away perfectly through all 6 gears , infact it feel better and more powerfull than when I bought it. Very impressed with AV Performance, kept me updated throughout, sent pictures of the damage and the new engine, recomend them without a shadow of doubt, thanks Ben.

Only issue now is my power steering pump has broke ahaha I give up, fckign Audi;s. Anyone near Warrington on Cheshire got a power steering pump they can sort me out with please, the noise the car now makes is a constant whistle noise once its warmed up, if the car is in acceleration there is no noise, soon as I take foot of the gas its screaming its t1tts off.

Glad it's driving well, just wish I have known before about the pump then I'd have popped ya one on with the engine!

Don't make out you've not enjoyed the Beetle ()

[AdeC]
