Sssline Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 [ QUOTE ] The question now is, how long do I give them to call me? [/ QUOTE ] Don't wait for them to call you,if they are anything like my local dealer. I waited, and waited, then forgot about it, waited some more and eventually had them done at the first service some 10 months after they said, 'we will call you when they arrive' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearra Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Don't wait for them Sponge, if a headache goes away you don't do anything about it, if it persists you deal with it. I'd politely keep chasing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, to their credit, they called this morning at 0930. However, it was to tell me they can't find the keys and they're ordering some more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paley Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 According to my local stealer it's not a coding issue, it's a problem with the contacts inside the fob - apparently there is a recall on some 2005 cars but not all. Mine wasn't on the list but having had keys recoded once and then both keys sometimes working, sometimes not, they've ordered some new ones. They said they'd given me new ones last time at the previous dealers - but they lied. Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Still no keys. They said something about a new system being installed yesterday. I'm seriously considering telling them where to shove their keys and give Chester a call. They may know what they're doing. I hope someone at Audi reads this. IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH NOW!!!!

Sponge Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 It's where I bought my car, after visiting Liverpool and not liking the place. So I guess it's my own fault for staying local and trying to save the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 We had a call from Liverpool Audi last week while we were in Cornwall, they have the keys. We called them this morning and managed to bump up the appointment from Friday to Thursday. They acted as if they were doing us a favour! This thread was started on the 19th March. Best part of 2 months to get a replacement set of keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinamarsden Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Not wishing to add insult to injury but, Chester Audi did mine last week. Usual fuss free affair. Told them when it went in for it's first AVS, they ordered the keys, rang me when they were in, booked me in and did the job whilst 'er indoors nipped across to Next. Job done in about an hour and a quarter. You need to switch dealer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
