mcgough Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Had a bit of a disaster yesterday when the traction control/brakes decided to play funny buggers!!! I dont use the car much and last time i used it a week or so ago, driving along using all my 366Nm's and the traction came on and lights stayed on(ecu fell asleep again??) , i stopped at lights turned car off and turned back on again and the traction lights went out- fair enough!! possibly i dirty sensor i thought. Yesterday morning i took the car out just to get it washed and clean thoose wheels as i went round a corner, quite quickly i add , the traction kicked in and the back brakes jammed on and slowed me right down and every time i start the car again i just get a brakes warning sign and traction flashes, so took to newcastle audi! (OH NO - NOT NEWCASTLE I HEAR YOU CRY) I find out what they have done/found tonight at 6!! I bought the darn car with 46100k miles on, I got 4 new discs and 8 pads fitted the car has done about 600miles in 3 months! so its not the brakes!! what we recon is wrong with it???

mcgough Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 found out they are still working on the car 630 it should be ready!! It also had a really bad squeek, which is around the belts they tell me it turns out thats a alternator pully seized- 1 week lead time on parts?? so either way its back in to garage again! Is my APPROVED USED AUDI actually approved, i think not as so far in 650miles its had a full set of brakes, a radiator, a MAF sensor, a control arm bush, A water pump, another pully sumwhere and now a alternator pully!! Does anyone else go through so many parts per mile as me???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
