SPLiiX Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 First blip with the motor!!!!! It's never put a foot wrong but my poor Baby is still at the office feeling sorry for it's self! Number 2 Cylinder something or other...... I knew it was as it was spluttering like I don't know what and limped back to the office at under 30mph. All was well until I pulled out onto the dualer and put the foot down (just a little) (Not a Lot) and all of a sudden the engine lost power. The whole car started to judder and I was lucky to reach 30mph and did not want to push it.... Summary therafter: called Audi assist called me back 5 mins later to say no Audi assist available (dont think there is any in Aberdeen) Will send out RAC withing the hour. 10mins later RAC called "will be 20mins" 15mins later RAC Yap Yap Yap Computer Computer Computer No 2 Cylinder thingy magigy Yap Yap Yap "want a lift home" "Ah Brill, Cheers Mate" (everyone else had gone home) ---- So got home called Audi assist "what happens now?" "will get a car to you tomorrow for you sir, delivered around 10:30hrs at your office" "What do you drive?" "A4 Avant Q" Hehehehe "Would you like something of a similar size?" "Oh yes please" "Would you like a Manual or Auto" (Me thinking an Auto might just be a bigger car) "Oh an Auto would be nice for a change" So What will it be tomorrow do you reckon?? Auto A6??? A3 1.6 Manual Corsa? S4? S6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgy Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 They once gave me an ancient Skoda fabia, apparently the only 'auto' that they had in - this is when my old A4 Cab was in to have the gearbox changed (it was one month old). I complained like you wouldn't believe and eventually ended up with a manual A3. Skoda, pah .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPLiiX Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sorry for the delay guys..... Right - Got a Car yesterday - Vauxhall Zafira!! Well what a car, I mean BUS!! HUGE front window with a great big pillar on the corner - not very good for visability! But at least it was a car!! Got the Zafira about 12:30 and SPLiiX was still sitting there,,,,,, (outside the office looking sorry for itself) So, I thought to myself, I don't really want to runa round in this Zafira too long so I called Audi Assist to see what was happening about my Baby. Good Job I did...... "Oh is your car still there" Eh Yeah.... So they arranged for the RAC to pick it up.... That was a laugh "I can't pick that up it's a quattro" It just gets better!!! So they call a truck thingy - I did not even look!!! Then today - I called the dealership and Hey ho, "it's ready Sir" So why not call me - they say they did but had the wrong number - well they could have called Audi Assist - they had it! So handed the Zafira Bus back and jumped into the MACHINE Well, OK checked my wheels before I drove off. VAUXHALL ZAFIRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
